Ethan...my Mutton Bustin' Boy!

This year at the Big Fresno Fair, they offered Mutton Bustin'. 

For those of you who have never heard of this sport, you have your child 6 or younger put on a helmet, then stick the poor child on the back of a sheep, and yell hold on as the sheep bolts out of the gate! 

(No, this isn't a form of punishment or child cruelty)

Well, since Ethan was the only one who fit the requirement, we all thought it would be a great idea that he be the "chosen one" to ride.  After some prodding from his brothers, (and dad) we signed him up.

(At this point...he has no idea what he's in for...just liking the attention)

Here come the big, bad sheep...

(Getting more of an idea of what's about to happen)

Ride'em Cowboy!!

2nd place winner! (And still not really sure what just happened.)

(Just realized what just happened)

Mutton Bustin' Stud!

We Remember!

On September 11th, the kids and I attended a memorial service at Pelco. Pelco did an amazing job with the parade, and everything that they did that day.  The most touching part was when they played the 9-1-1 calls.  The boys really seemed to get a lot out of it too.

  

Later that day, we decided to do a Lemonade stand.

We raised almost $100, and donated it to the Twin Towers Orphan Fund. 

  

We Remember & God Bless America!
