Believe in the sun, even when it's not shining

In love, even when you're alone

In God, even when He is silent.

Spring Break's Saddles & Shamrocks

Last weekend's Saddle-Up Saturday...picking flowers for Mommy, Daddy & Mr. Eddie.

Gracie posting and trotting...all at the same time! She was very proud of herself! I'm afraid she has my rhythm, so this was a big deal! :)


For St. Patrick's Day, Aunt Mary was gracious enough to invite us to the University of St. Thomas' Irish Studies-sponsored Mass & Brunch officiated by Cardinal DiNardo. Mom met Gracie and I there where we joined Aunt Mary, Aunt Ruthie, and Aunt Ruthie's youngest daughter, Katy, and her family. This is Grace at Aunt Mary's with Katy's daughter, Emma...
...and Katy's son, Sean.
Thursday, we took Gracie back to the rodeo grounds for the Paint Horse Show, carnival and souvenirs. She was chosen to be the cheerleader for our section's piglet in the pig races...
"Hammah" Montana didn't win, but we still had a good time cheering her on...
Daddy bought his cowgirl her very own cowgirl hat, complete with tiara, and a stick pony.
She's just a little excited, as you can tell...
We closed the rodeo and it's $4.50 cokes down with the Brooks and Dunn Last Rodeo Tour...this is the first year that I'm not really sad that it's all over...things have always been expensive, but this year it seemed ridiculously so. It seemed like attendance suffered for it this year and hopefully, things will change for next year...
Gracie returns to school tomorrow...she's excited to see her friends...Mommy's excited to have a routine back...I have yet to blog her trip to the zoo with Marmie, but that will have to come later...have a good week, everyone!
