Cowboy Boots

It's snowing.  Again.  When it should be mild and sunny.

What's a girl to do when winter will never end?

Write an overdue blog post.

Cowboy boots.

I wondered when my guy would start asking for a pair of them.  I figured it was coming eventually.

And after a guided tour through the treasure trove that is Grandma and Grandpa's basement, he stumbled upon this old pair...

These comfy, well-worn gems belonged to his daddy years ago.  Daddy got them from his grandparents when he was a kid.

They're a little too big for Sam, but no matter.  He fell in love.

He even found a hat...

After insisting on wearing these over-sized boots everywhere and then witnessing him almost falling down the stairs twice, we decided he needed a pair of his very own.  A pair that fit. 

In keeping with the grandparent-cowboy-boot tradition, it was off to the western supply store with Grandma and Grandpa so they could get him his very own pair.  He was so excited!

Thank goodness he was drawn to the $30 pair of boots.  Did you know they make kids boots that cost $150 and up?  We're not that serious.  He settled on the black pair.

After trying on his new boots, he was asked to pose for a picture.  Without skipping a beat, this is what he came up with:

Perfect amount of cheese, Sam!

And no jeans?  No problem.  These boots go with everything!

Oh...and by the way...

This is what we woke up to.  Two to four more inches is expected today.  It's March 24th.

Grumpy Cat, how do we feel about snow around here...

That's right.
