Federation of Freestyle Bullfigthters - Taylor, TX

This past weekend we attended the second FFB bullfight in Taylor.  The show was even more exciting this time - the bulls seemed to be a bit more "aggravated". ;)  We had a great time!

Before the show, the kids got their faces painted by Ross Hill, one of the bullfighters.  I had to clue who he was, I just walked up to a group of the fighters who were standing around talking and asked if any of them would mind painting a few kids faces.  Ross was the first to volunteer.  Very nice guy.  Turns out, he's pretty much a who's who in the bullfighting world.  He gave them all his custom paint job just like he does on his own face. ;)  All the kids got their faces painted, but the photos of him painting the boys faces are on Aunt Lesha's camera.

Ross came back to take pictures with the kids after his turn in the arena.

A little bullfighting action

Lia hung out with Papa for most of the show, while Jacob hung out with his cousin Adam.  Isn't Adam a cute little cowboy!

Happy 4th B-day Jacob!

Four years ago today I became a Mother.  My heart has not been the same since.  It beats stronger, deeper, more in love than it ever knew possible.  This little boy changed my life forever.  I love you Jacob!

This Boy...

means more to me than he'll ever know. He is my heart.  His tender spirit can stop me in my tracks.  He is a clone of his Dad in every way.  One day he will grow up to be a wonderful man.  I count it such a privilege to get to be his Mom.  Little boy, you'll never know how much I love you!

This Girl...

means more to me than she'll ever know.  She is my soul.  I used to hear people say that and wonder what on earth they meant; now I know.  There's no way to explain it.  I see so much of myself in her.  She doesn't look like me in appearance (except her hair), but in her inner being she is me made over.  I never cease to be amazed.  Baby girl, you have no idea what place you fill in my heart.

Another great meme brought to us by Carin at Forever In Blue Jeans. Every Thursday post a picture of you with a child, spouse, friend or even by yourself. If you are thinking this challenge is too hard, then this is exactly the challenge you need. Do you have thousands of pictures and you are in none of them? How is that good to your children or loved ones? It’s time you got in the picture, you’ll be glad you did!

Anyone surprised this weeks' photo features strawberries?!

How to Eat a Strawberry...

...like a lady...

1.  pick the largest, juiciest berry you can find

2.  open REALLY wide

3.  try stuffing the entire thing in your mouth

4.  if at first you don't succeed, try again

5.  and try again

6.  until you fianlly get it all squished in there

7.  look at all the juice running out of your mouth and down your hands

8.  decide it's the best thing you've ever had

"Who you lookin' at Willis?"

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how to eat a strawberry with finesse.
