Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys...

I don't know if it's just a boy thing, or if it's because of where we live...but it seems like we have 2 little cowboys on our hands! A couple of months ago we were wondering around a store and Lincoln spotted cowboy boots. He ran over to try them on and fell in love! We didn't get them for him that night, but he kept talking about how much he wanted cowboy boots...so we decided he could "earn" them.

He's been getting a sticker on a chart when he stays in bed at night and then 5 stickers means a little award. (we were having a terrible time getting him to stay in bed a few months ago, it was frustrating and sad for all involved. The chart is now full and things are 100% better at night...he's a stay in bed pro, which we all are happy about!) Anyway, we decided at 30 stickers he could have the beloved cowboy boots! Well, 30 days finally came and he was SO excited to finally get them.

He wears those cowboy boots nearly everyday with his cowboy hat and just loves it. I found some little boots for Grant too because he kept putting Lincoln's on, and Lincoln thought Grant needed some too. Anyway, here's a couple of pictures of my cute little cowboys...

So stinkin' cute!!! They look like true cowboys and are so dang handsome! I love the ones on the farm and the one of Grant on the fence. Where are those pictures taken with the horses and tractor?

I think all kids love boots! Your little cowboys look so cute. And happy for you that they are staying in bed.
