U.H.S.R.A. state finals

Well its official, the HS rodeo finals are over. Dixon had a great week, falling short from our goal of going to nationals. He competed in four events through out the week, made two great calf runs, 5th in the 2nd go in the Team Roping, would have had the fastest run in the bull dogging at the state finals without the barrier we broke. The bull riding was tough we rode one bull for 65 points and bucked off two.
Making the short go in the bull riding and calf roping. Dixon had a fun week, with plenty of dancing, and laughing. He also ran for VP student office. He did fun. We will go to Fallon, NV for the Silver State Rodeo on the 4th of July. With a great chance to go win the ALL-Around and respective events.
Joe won the All-Around saddle and had a great week, it was fun to have them close and have their kids with ours. Nielsons were our neighbors and it was a great time as well. The Borens let Dixon use a calf horse of theirs and the boys spent a week in Vernal practicing before the finals.
To have such great friends is such a blessing, we are so greatful for everyone who helps us be successful. We would be lost with out you.,
Summer will be more practice, hauling hay, having fun, working hard and getting better each day.

  1. Sounds like Dixon had a good week. I was glad I was able to watch for a night at least. It was so good to see you...even though it wasn't for long. We really need to go do something one of these days. Give me a call sometime. I am sure your schedule is busier than mine.

    Take it easy....don't play too hard! Love ya!!
