Yeehaw

Well, Jace had his first trip to the rodeo on Saturday. Unfortunately the weather was uncooperative, rainy and cold, but we had fun nonetheless. We were hoping the rain would keep people home, but instead they all just crammed into the buildings along with us. This was disappointing because the part we looked forward to the most was the livestock building where Jace could see cows, and pigs, etc, up close. It was crazy- people everywhere. He did get to see some cows and pigs, but after that mom and dad were done with the crowds and we needed to head over to the rodeo. So note to self, go earlier next time.
Then there was the rodeo. Jace loved when something was going on, but during the lull in between events and competitors his attention was limited. So Steve did not find this very relaxing. Luckily there seats were not taken all around us so we could spread out and Jace could move around. Second note to self, always buy Jace his own seat- there is no way he would have lasted on our laps. We were able to stay until after the bull riders, and by then his patience was thin and it was getting late.


Jace is picking up words left and right. He will now say "good-bye" to almost everyone, and my favorite is "please". I am a big fan of the word so we are trying to get him to say it when he wants something instead of grunting. He will someday have to learn that just because you say please does not mean you get it, but for now it is just cute to hear him say "pease" with a big smile on his face. He has also started to stand up to the dogs. Often time he gets his face licked whether he wants it or not, especially from Kayla, but now he will put up a finger and say "no-no" and amazingly she listens. Here is a pic of him saying "cheese" for the camera.
