2013 Bull Sale

We went to Comanche on Tuesday for the 2013 Dudley Bros Bull Sale. We had planned to go earlier but Rylan was puny for a couple of days. He was not 100% on energy still. 

M&MS are magic pills for changing a mood especially in the car. 

Finally asleep. So cute when he crosses his legs.

Talking to Pops

Sale Day

Jordon got to be in the ring with Pops. Exciting but scary too! It was a last minute thing so of course I did not have my camera just my phone. 

Rylan looking through the catalog. 

I don't know if you can tell from this picture but he is dodging a kick. Lucky for him I was watching this while taking pictures so I did not see it as up close as I would have normally. 

It was a great sale and a fun day. Rylan slept through about half of the sale so I did not get a lot of pictures. 

A bunch of the extended Dudley crew. 

Reid tried to get Rylan interested in Power Rangers but all Rylan wanted to do was push buttons. 

The Cutest little Red Raider

ESPNU was at the game. We think we got Rylan and Reese (the little girl) on camera. We will have to watch ESPNU the show to see (that is what Jordon told me). I don't know what that show is ...

This was a blackout game. W looked all over town and finally found Rylan a black shirt that would fit. Everyone loved him in it! We got tons of people coming up to use to ask where we got his shirt. 

Rylan likes to entertain people in our section before the game. He waved and sometimes puts his guns up. 

Rylan and I did not stay the whole game. This is how I found him when we got home. 

Rylan's 2nd Tech Game

We took Rylan to the Tech football game this weekend. He really enjoyed it this time. We took him to a game last year but he was only 8 months old so he just slept through it. 

He did his guns up and danced to the music. I wish the blog would let me put up videos because I have the best one of him with his guns up! He made his Red Raider mom and dad proud. 

Silly Faces

Yummy!

I have been going to post about a fantastic and easy recipe I found on Pinterest for Mongolian Beef. It is super easy and cooks in the crock pot. My niece, Caitlyn, will love it and this can be her Chinese food fix when Grammy is not there to take her out to eat. We have had it twice now. Rylan loves it!

So here is the link to the original recipe, http://culinarytuesdays.com/mongolian-beef-in-a-crock-pot/. 

You can look at the recipe but here is what I 

do because I could not find one or two of the 

ingredients and I like more veggies.

No words...

Waving

Those were all during dinner. After we ate we went outside to play while we waited on dad to get home from Uncle Cameron's. I tried (unsuccessfully) to get an action shot of Rylan with his golf clubs in the yard. He likes to drag them around but has not gotten the club concept yet. 

Then of course we have to check all my flowers. My four o'clocks look so good this year and he just wants to pick the flowers!
