Cattle Barron's Ball

Group shot before the Ball

And then the Horse decided to Photo Bomb

Reaction to John saying "The Horse is eating my Hair!"

Our friends Reece & Krissy Tarwater were kind enough to invite us last Saturday to the Annual Cattle Baron's Ball to benefit the American Cancer Society at Darr Agricultural Center. This was a huge event! John and I, of course, do not own any "western" apparel but I was lucky ebough to borrow some boots form a coworker (thanks Nicole) and John got the hook up from Tim. It was such a fun night of eating, dancing, auction bidding and of course riding the mechanical bull! They raised a ton of money, Krissy even won her silent auction item for 1 year of unlimited Hot Yoga from Sumit's. I hope we get to go again next year because we had a blast. Thanks again Tarwater's for letting us be your date!

St. Patrick's Day Parade

Sawyer was just a month old last St. Patrick's Day so we didn't get to go to the parade, this year I made plans with Trina to make a day of it. We grabbed lunch at Grad School and then walked over to meet up with Krissy, Reece, Pierce, Paisley, Melanie, Sam, Jackson and Avery. The parade was really entertaining (way better than the Christmas Parade) and the weather was perfect. Sawyer actually got a little sun on his cheeks. Since John had to work all day, when we got home we decided to get dinner at Maria's downtown as our little family celebration.

Sawyer's 1st Mizzou Game

First Family Photo in Columbia

Besides the trip when he was living in my belly, last weekend was Sawyer first trip to Columbia to see his parents Alma Mater. It was the Mizzou vs. Ole Miss Basketball game, we were lucky enough to get tickets from John's grandparents. The Tarwater's joined us for Pierce and Paisley's first Mizzou game as well and arrange for a place to stay with some of their good friends. Mizzou beat Ole Miss 98 to 78. The kids did great at the game and we can't wait to plan another trip! I took a ton of pictures, surprise surprise, so here are a few.

Can we go yet???
