The Defeat Of Jesse James Days

Riding off into the sunset...
The Defeat of Jesse James Days starts Thursday night
with "Townie Night" and lots of good deals for towns-people.
The girls' enjoyed the "Arm Band" night at the carnival...
Unlimited rides! WooHoo!
We must be doing a good job as parents to our 12 yr old.
She refused to acknowledge us when hanging out with friends!
Mariah rode in the back of all the kiddie rides...
The cars, boats, and motorcycles...
She refused to sit in the front.
The is the look we got from our pre-teen when she was with us.
Oh Look! Is that Kenny Chesney in the background?!
VERY happy... With FRIENDS... NOT Moms!

Hanging with her friends.

Nana puts the finishing touches on Mariah's

"Cowboy Girl" dress.

Soooo Damn cute!

But I may be a bit biased!

The cutest little cowboy ever!!!

Here they come!

Can you spot our 4?

Heidi and Paula got to be in it too!

Lucky them?

Soooooo ready for that ice cream!!!

Poor Gabe inherited the sweaty McCarty thing!

REAL pony rides!

Gabe was soooo excited and comfortable on his horse!

"Go FASTER!!!"

My favorite cowboy!

The people of Northfield reenact the robbery

"every chance they get" according to Cheyenne.
