Our Zoo Trip

We went to Tautphaus Zoo this weekend with Daren's brother Sean and his family. These are some of the pictures we took with his nephews Skyler and Andrew and Sean's wife Crystal. Ignore the funny faces, we were making animal sounds in some of the pics.

Rodeo and Charley Jenkins

We went to the Dodge National Rodeo on Wednesday night. Afterwards they had a concert by Charley Jenkins. It was lots of fun. The picture is of the top scoring bull rider (on Wednesday night anyway). He scored a 91. The rest are of the concert and the video is of Daren's favorite Charley Jenkins song. We also had a blast swing dancing to some of his songs. We're a little rusty, but I think we did pretty good for dancing in the sand of the arena. We really enjoy his music. This is the second concert of his we've made it to. That's just another one of the many things we're going to miss about moving (No more Charley Jenkins, unless he goes on tour in the mid west instead of just around here). One day we'd like to go to all of the nights of the rodeo, but at least we made it once. They had some really good riders there and I've never seen that many roping teams actually catch. The rodeo clown was also one of the best we've ever seen. He was quite the dancer and had some seriously funny jokes.

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's said happy birthday and to all those who sent texts this morning. And also to everyone who's sent a card. I really appreciate it, I still think its fun to get mail.
