Cousar's favorite part of the beach...

Cousar's favorite part of the beach...feeding the birds!!! He insisted on having popcorn or bread every time his feet hit the sand! He was not sure about them at first but by the time we left he would have fed them out of his hands if they had let him! Barrett was not a fan and neither was I...

Cousar's loyal followers waiting on their leader to bring the day's meal...

He loved them... Would run into the middle of the group to stir them...

Destin...

We are in Destin this week...giving all of us a chance to relax (except Sweets and Pops) and giving me a chance to update the blog. It's not warm enough to put on swim suits (*thank goodness) but it's still about 20 - 30 degrees warmer than Oxford right now...We are heading home Wendesday with the boys and Linley Kate...we are a little stressed about the trek home and I think they are too...

My budding artists...

Original artwork by Cousar and Barrett...I finally started an art wall for them in the playroom. They get this talent from their Daddy...

Cotton Bowl 2010 - Part V...

Thursday in Dallas was a lazy day for the boys. I worked a Foundation event. So we stayed around the hotel all day...

We started the day with coffee in the tub...

Then we headed back to the hospitality room where Barrett worked on his 3-point stance... and Cousar brushed up on his Wii skills...

Finally we ventured out into the lobby where we saw Dexter McCluster and other players signing autographs...You would have thought he was Santa Clause...Cousar would only stand about ten feet away and talk to him...

Then we located our second favorite spot at the hotel...the water garden...by the time we left Dallas I had no change left in my wallet...

Cotton Bowl 2010 - Part IV...

Wednesday night we took the boys to Mesquite for the Mesquite Championship Rodeo...

Right away the boys started waving at the big screen to try to get themselves on television.... Cousar insisted on wearing his "Jevan" stickers...

Barrett and Justin taking it all in...

The rodeo had everything you'd expect...a rodeo clown...

horses...

cowboys...

bulls...

and last but not least...children riding sheep...this part of the rodeo was the most entertaining, hands down...

that is until they called all children ages 7 - 12 to the arena floor for the cash grab...the object of the contest was to pull a ribbon off the tail of a calf...it's hard to see in the picture but notice the little boy in front of the Resistol sign...he never moved into the crowd and nearly won. I think he must have participated in a few of these...

two calfs and about 200 kids...not very good odds for the calfs...

finally after finishing off a slushy...

and cotton candy, we called it a night...

Cotton Bowl 2010 - Part III...

We arrived in Dallas around lunch time and headed straight to the hospitality room. Little did we know that we'd spend the majority of our trip in this room. It was every child (and a lot of grown up's) dream - arcade games, pool tables, video games, skeet ball, ping pong, big screen televisions, and all of the snacks you could imagine...

Cousar discovered the hunting arcade game and never moved... Barrett discovered the candy and snacks and never quit eating...

First on the menu - animal crackers...

then skittles...

then he thought about the crayons...

but opted for coloring instead...

finally pooped out we headed back up to the room to get ready for the rodeo...
