Innocence, Learning, and Another horse ride

As you all know Dawson loves horses. This last weekend we went for a horse ride on my Uncle Danny's horses. My brother Matt tooks us around the outdoors of Kanab Ranchos. Dawson rode with J.D. and it was pretty windy and cold so since we didn't have a blanket we used a towel...By the end of the ride, Dawson pulled his hands out and they were BLUE! But he never cried or complained, he was a true cowboy. Dawson truly was in his glory. We did let him ride by himself a bit and he did good holding on the reins and horn of the saddle. He kicked the horse to go, and .. I think this picture explains how happy he is.

The other day while I was getting ready, I left the bathroom for less than 1 minute and came back to this... yes, they are tampax all over!! He just looks so innocent when he looked at me, I couldn't help but laugh and grab the camera!

Also, when we have tacos for dinner, Dawson loves the tortilla, but when J.D. and I start eating he has to use all the same things we do. J.D. loves tobasco sauce on his, so Dawson just threw a fit until we gave it to him. I decided it wasn't worth the fight and let him find out on his own...Well, he put quite a bit on his tortilla and took a bite...I did have the camera ready so this is his face....

Hope it was worth it Dawson! LOL! He kept spitting and trying to get it off...but he didn't learn because we had them again and he wanted more.
