Mutton Busting at the Houston Rodeo
Last night we went to the Houston Rodeo. We go every year usually even a few times, to see a few concerts. The kids love going to see the animals and beg for $9 slices of pizza. But alas, their parents are too frugal and make them eat BEFORE they go inside 🙂
A few years ago when we went, it was the famous “Hannah the pig” episode, and if you are a long time reader you might remember it. I was a completely hormonal mess over a pig giving birth, and my family has never let me forget it.
This is a little bit from that post:
Poor Hannah, she was due on Saturday, so technically on Sunday, “she was overdue” and pigs “don’t go late.” Been there done that.
I went 14 days over with one of my children. My husband had to keep me from killing the nice people who kept asking, “haven’t you had that baby yet?”
But, good for Hannah she was in early labor, she was miserable. She was tossing and turning, biting at the bars, she was leaking milk. I wanted to sit next to her and help her breath, “in through the nose, out through the mouth.”
“you can do it Hannah, only a little longer…”
You think I am joking, but I am telling you as a hormonal pregnant woman I was getting a little emotional watching the pig.
Having had a few of my babies in a hospital, I prefer a birthing center, I was also about to prison break Ol’ Hannah out the “birthing pen” and get her a little more comfortable in a nice bed with some pillows and ice chips.
But the A&M students supervising the birth assured me that this was the best place for the babies so Hannah didn’t roll over on them and squish them.
My husband, realizing I was getting a little too attached and emotional about a pig, and tired from watching her do “nothing” for half the day (try that when I am in labor buddy!) drug myself and the kids away to go to the concert.
Fast forward to the end of a scream fest of little girls for the Jonas Brothers…
My middle daughter wanted to leave and go see if the pig had babies. Yipee, so did all the other kids! So as the last song played, and little girls cried, we bolted for the exit to march the mile back to the other venue to see the Hannah late on a school night!
When we got there, Hannah had just had her 2nd baby! One by one, Hannah had her babies. I think I cried a few times. After an hour and 6 babies, we had to leave. The little kids were already asleep and the bigger kids had finally had enough of live pig birth. Really? Does that ever get old? 🙂
I said “goodbye” to Hannah and wished her luck.
Then as I walked away, I realized, that Hannah was only pregnant for 116 days.
I have been pregnant for 1,830 days so far,
Hannah was in labor for 4 hours,
I have been in labor for 64 hours.
Hannah had 6 babies in 1 hour,
It has taken me 12 years to have 6 babies.
Then I quit feeling bad for Hannah, started feeling bad for myself, and wondered if she tasted like bacon?
Sadly, last night there were no pigs giving birth. I asked about Hannah and they looked at me like I was crazy. To make up for pigs not giving birth, we thought we would head over and watch Mutton Busting instead.
Mutton busting is an event held at rodeos similar to bull riding or bronc riding, in which children ride or race sheep.[1]
Riders must be 5-6 and weigh less than 60 pounds. The Mutton Rodeo guys wanted to know if we had any that would qualify as they scanned the sea of children that were with me.
“I am 6!!!” Yelled my Pippi Longstocking look alike.
They whisked her off to be the next Mutton Busting champion…
I am not seeing bull riding in her future, thank goodness!
I am so thankful for community events that are available to expose my kids to birthing pigs and riding sheep. I am not kidding. My kids miss out on all kinds cool experiences being “city kids” and not having animals other than a Labradoodle. The Labradoodle wont be having any babies either!

Weekly Menu Plan 2/27 – BBQ Meatballs and more!
Just in case you missed this earlier in the week, I am reposting it. I need some new ideas for next weeks plan. The sales are pretty good at the stores so it wont be hard, I just need some fresh ideas! This week I am really glad to be home and want home cooked food. BUT I am also soooo tired and have 1,000 things going on that this is what I WANT my menu plan to look like:
- Cold Cereal
- Chick Fil A
- Scrambled Eggs
- Frozen Pizza
- McDonalds
No work, really not a lot of money, but NOT good for me, or the kids.
I will need to buckle down, get my shopping done TODAY and be organized. I can’t wait until I get home from work to toss something in the crock pot, if I have to wake up 10 minutes earlier this week I will need to do it.
Monday – Chili Verde – CROCK POT RECIPE – There is an abundance of Hormel coupons and deals to use those on that I am trying to use up the pork that I have. This is a recipe from my SIL Tonia that we love to make, plus it is perfect for me to take for lunch.
Tuesday – Roast Sticky Chicken – OVEN – If you like chicken from the store you will LOVE this recipe! Don’t let the list of spices keep you form trying it. If you don’t have everything, skip that ingredient. It is SUPER cheap, and really EASY to make. Your family will think you are a rock star with this one!
Wednesday – From The Pioneer Woman, Comfort Meatballs – OVEN – I saw this quick clip on TV this weekend of PW making meatballs and I have thought about nothing else since then…
Thursday – Chili Dog Crock Pot from Moms with Crock Pots – CROCK POT – My friend Amanda posted this and I think my kids would love it. Plus, we have coupons for the Chili so this with a salad will be a super cheap meal!
Friday – Homemade Pizza – OVEN – We missed this the past few weeks and I am craving it like crazy! If you have not made my homemade pizza dough recipe you are missing out! Plus, there are coupons for the mozzarella cheese and the pepperoni.
Chili Verde
From Tonia Davis
This is exactly how my mom gave it to me. I have never used a 3-5 lb pork, mine are usually between 1-3 pds so I only use 1 onion and 1-2 cans of green chili’s. I use about 2 tsp of garlic though and I usually skip the searing and make it in the crockpot. About 6 hours on high in a crockpot, 2 1/2-3 hours in a roasting pan, and 1 hour in a pressure cooker.
3-5 lb boneless pork roast
1-3 yellow onions (chopped)
4 cans Ortega chopped green chili’s
olive oil
1/4 tsp minced or chopped garlic
(more if you like garlic)
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbs flour
3/4 cup water
Heat oil in roasting pan and sear meat. Pour 1/2 cup water in bottom of roasting pan. Place in roast, chopped onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover pan and bake at 350 degrees 2 hours or until internal temp. reaches 155 (or meat shreds easily with a fork). Let meat set 1/2 hour and then shred. Set aside.
Take 2 Tbs flour and mix with 1/4 cup water thoroughly (no lumps). Add water to drippings and cook over med heat to make gravy. If desired add more water, flour and (if needed) chicken bouillon for more gravy. Salt to taste. Add green chile’s and shredded meat. Serve over rice.
My kids like it with soy sauce and rice. The next day we wrap it in burritos with cheese and sour cream. The burritos are excellent when fried in a pan on both sides, more sauce dumped on top and coated in cheese. (not healthy though). Enjoy!
