Buckaroo Style

This past weekend has been full of cowboy hats and the horses. Cinch has loved playing with all of our old cowboy hats. If you've been in our house you've seen the wall full of our old hats. Well Cinch has taken liberty to help get them all down and has worn every hat at least once. And he brings each of us different hats to wear- but their are certain hats we aren't allowed to wear, only him- silly boy!

This weekend we also made a big purchase- our first(and hopefully last) little kid saddle. Something that has been in the process for a few months. Cinch is to big and to demanding for control of the horses to ride with us anymore and well I wanted my saddle back that he usually gets to ride in. Now when I say it's been a process... it has. Looking online and in stores for the past 3+ months. Finding a size thats small enough for now but big enough to last for future years. One in our price range- but of good quality and will last many years and kids to come. Well we finally found it- we had looked at it 7+ times. I was sold after the second look- Daniel it took all 7+ times.

We had looked so many times at saddles that Cinch didn't get excited until Daniel was carrying it out of the store and then he started cheering and yelling. Well we are totally satisfied, it fits the horses good and Cinch fits the size good as well. I guess it was worth the many trips to stores and hours on the Internet.

No worries, it's complete with Cinch's rope tied on just like mom & dad's. Which is also nice because it prevents him from falling off.
So thank heaven's for tax returns and for the fact we don't have to search any more!
