Mother's Day Weekend in OK

Last weekend I went to "Big D" and I don't mean Dallas. I went home to Duncan to see my mom for M-Day. Saturday morning my mom, sister and her husband, and I went to my cousin Michelle's little boys soccer game. Cameron, Zachary, and Dillion are my parent's adopted grandkids-which is great because it takes all the pressure off my sister and I to have kids.
We celebrated M-Day Sat. night. My sister and Ryan came over for dinner. We had steak, baked potatoes, and strawberry shortcake for dessert-yum. Afterwards we all played the famous Texas game-Spinner. Ryan was the Spinner Winner.
A Funny Goat Story
Background info- Parents are trying out goats on their land to eat the grass and poison ivy plants. (mom is allergic to poison ivy) Here's the story- Sunday morning my mom and I got into my car to go to church when we noticed Annie (the goat) out in the back yard eating grass and my mom's flowers. She jumped her pen. So my mom and I called Charity and Ryan to come over to help us catch her. My mom, Charity, Ryan, and I were all chasing the goat around the yard for an hour. How many humans does it take to catch a goat? Finally, Ryan dove and tackled Annie to the ground. You would have thought that Annie had been shot-she made this awful, loud goat cry. All I could think about was Matthew Kelly's goat cry-pretty close to Annie's. Needless to say, my mom and I didn't make it to church. Hope this story brought laughter into your day, and sorry if it didn't-guess you had to be there.

HAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!

I love the pic you posted of R&C with Annie the goat. I just have to assume that Brent was holding Gypsy back from catching Annie herself?!?!

Way to go Ryan, now if we could get the cowboys defense to tackle something (even a goat would be nice).
