2012 National Western Stock Show

We had a great time again this year at the 2012 National Western Stock Show.  It is now a known fact that Ryan gets more excited for Stock Show then for opening presents on Christmas morning.


Mommy, daddy and Ryan helped Great Uncle Mark and the guys setup for the stock show.  It was fun being the fist ones in the building.

Great Uncle Mark quickly learned that Ryan is much better at constructing barns than daddy.

Don't be fooled, daddy helped with all of the heavy lifting except for in this picture.  Someone had to take the picture after all.

Ryan looks like a cowboy.  Daddy was trying to win the Drug Store Cowboy of the year!

Ryan practicing for his future career in the PRCA.

Grandma had to take Ryan to get his brand new boots shined.

We enjoyed taking a four generation picture with Great Grandma Choo Choo.

Jeremy taking his first Stock Show picture with Grandpa and Ryan.
  Check out the video of Ryan competing in the Stick Horse Rodeo.  Ryan competed in three stick horse rodeos.  We enjoyed a total of four visits.  Ryan and Jeremy can't wait until next year!

Milestone # 2 -- Eating Cereal

On Saturday, December 31, 2011 Jeremy had his first cereal during the first annual, Eastern Timezone New Year's Party at the Sharp house.  Jeremy only had a few bites of the food.  We are learning that he might be a picky eater...


We had a great time ringing in the New Year at 10:00 PM MST with Grandma and Grandpa Policeman, Uncle Adam and Aunt Laura, Great Uncle Mark, Great Aunt Melissa and Mason and Audrey.
