Mutin Busting Again

Well it was the Spring Fair last weekend and they had Muting Busting again and Elliott decided to try it again. It was a questionable day so we packed a complete change of clothes and headed out. We got there for the 1:00 show and he was #2. We got all suited up and waited our turn. I was looking around and saw the sheep and thought, this is not going to go well, they had sheered the sheep so there was nothing for the kid's to hang on to. When you put a 3 1/2 year old on a sheep with nothing to hang onto it is like asking them to fall. Well we got in the shoot and hung on as best we could and they released the sheep and it ran like 2 steps and there went Elliott. He laid there for a minute until the guy came and got him and he saw me and started to cry. All I could do was be that sympathetic parent (yeah right) I laughed. He did say that he wanted to do it again in the fall. We will see. Here are the pictures of him.
Getting ready to ride!


After the ride. As you can tell we were not very happy

Daffodil Parade

It has been a tradition for us to go to the Daffodil Parade since Wes and I were in Junior High, I guess that is because for 6 years we had to march in the parade. We took a few years off from going but since Elliott was born we have gone. This year was no different. We were all set to go to the Puyallup Parade but with the kiddo's naps we decided that this year Tacoma would be better. The weather was questionable so we decided that we would park at Wes' office and if it was raining we would watch it from his conference room. Luckily, it did not rain so we sat in front of his office a watched a wonderful parade. The kiddo's had a great time and Wes made Elliott his 2 favorite things to keep him happy, Popcorn and Hot Chocolate. Here are a few pictures of our fun morning.


Elliott's favorite things were the Marching Bands

Nothing like a huge firetruck to bring a smile to a little boys face.

Gotta love Cookie Monster!
