NFR

NFR
Brian and I took the kids to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas this year. We stayed at the Riviera, along with my parents. It was fun, because it's within walking distance of the Cowboy Christmas Show, which is always fun. I particularly like the shopping there, but Daxon really loves seeing all the rodeo contestants and getting their autographs. It's so much fun for him! He filled up another hat this year full of lots of famous names. Trevor Brazile's name is front and center. He ended up winning the world in Team Roping (heading), Tie Down Roping and All-Around. So Dax was pretty lucky to find him to sign his hat. Belinda Henry (our awesome friend from Henderson) took us to the Magical Forest. She brought her cute grandkids (Mace and Abella). The kids had a total blast! I love going there too. They have it decorated so, so cute. It's all volunteers who decorate and help out. We had a lot of fun. My dad and Brian decided to go to the Rodeo and let the women go to the Magical Forest with the kids. They also had a lot of fun. This was Brian's first time going to the NFR, and he loved it. He was amazed at the awesome Rodeo! We all had a great time, and we will probably do it again next year! :)

Your kids are getting so big. I can't believe i've only seen them a couple of times. This is so not fair. It looks like you're having a lot of fun. Tell everyone hi for me. Your hair grows SO fast. So pretty!
