Spring hs rodeo back at ya

Last weekend we headed north to the high school rodeo in Farmington, Dixon, Ky and I. Shad and Casy headed south to a freestyle and grecco tournament.
This weekend for me was a lot harder than most. Dixon was only entered in the team roping, because he had been in some trouble. All I can say is if we were one eventers we would stay home!!!! All day kids and parents asked he and I why he wasn't entered. It was a great lesson for him because he thought no one would notice!!
We finished 12Th on Friday, Dixon and Dallin did a great job with the steer we ended up with. As soon as we left the chute he headed right and when dal roped him he locked his brakes on the corner. Luckily Dixon held position and snagged a leg.
Saturday we drew a great steer and wasted him. Dallin roped great Dixon threw the perfect heel loop for two and went to the wood to fast and Dall didn't finish pulling. So the combination we ended up with no feet and no time. Long Day!!
Fun ride with my boy and we enjoyed being in the company of good friends at the rodeo. Dixon and Joe were able to see each other and visit, which was well needed. Dixon misses him more than he will ever know. Thank goodness for phones, wrestling and rodeo!!!!
Shad had a great weekend, won all 3 grecco matches and all 4 freestyle matches.
We stayed with Brad and Karen Hodson, Kyleigh was in heaven since she got to sleep over at her best friends house and watch movies and play play play!
Back to practice this week, rope school, barrel clinic, teeth floating, and so much more.

  5. Oh ya.. Our new home is directly behind our old house. Go past the old house a little bit and you'll see a lane with little trees going down it. The lane takes you down to our new home.
