Rodeo Houston 2012 & Jason Aldean

Rodeo Houston 2012

We actually made it; and to the end.  It's been hard getting Tynan to do anything; so I have to say that when he knew he'd be in the spotlight(in my eyes) at this Rodeo Performance he was not excited. However in the end, he got with the program and we had an amazing time. BIG Thanks to Maggie Mahoney Phillips for the amazing memories she was able to capture for us.  I hate to leave anyone out, and it's hard not to.  There are so many people that made rodeo possible for us I don't even know, or may not want to be in the public eye.  But you know who you are, so to everyone who pitched in, pulled strings, donated, drove the golf carts, and did whatever they could to give Tynan such an amazing experience, THANK YOU!!!!  .

Thank you Yaya and Kristi, you have both always made it BIG for Tynan. We Love You BOTH!!!

of the way and Tynan just stood there.

PBR Hands On - February 25, 2012

Tynan was a special guest of "Believe in Tomorrow Children's Foundation" at Saturday's PBR Hands On Event at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.  We got a brief tour of what goes on behind the scenes, and met some of bull riding's best. Thank you to such a wonderful foundation for making it such a great experience.  Being an all day event, he was VERY tired and very uncomfortable most of the time. However we did have the opportunity to meet Cord McCoy, Cody Nance, Mike Lee, and Sean Willingham.  You've always heard....save the best for last....and indeed we did.  Just when we thought he couldn't take another minute, Tynan agreed to meet with Tricia Marchi in section 129.  On Friday night, Mr Jay Campbell with TYRS Rodeo gave us Mrs. Marchi's phone number who was more than willing to make a meet and greet possible for Tynan....and she did nothing less.  We had the pleasure of meeting both Guilherme Marchi and Silvano Alves.  It was definitely the highlight of our day.  Guilherme took Tynan through the fence and behind the chutes; and Tynan took to him like I did not expect.  He was awesome with Tynan.  He pulled a feather out of his hat and placed it in Tynan's hat.  There may have been a language barrier but we saw his love for children loud and clear.  Thank you to Jay and the Marchi's for making our PBR Experience one we will NEVER forget.
