KyLeigh owns the roping pen!!!!

Watch out world, here comes Kyleigh jo winn in the roping pen!!! So I have to say that my seven year old is pretty passionate about swinging a rope! It has been so fun to see here take something and began a journey.
This summer she and Dixon decided she needed to rope. So he spent many a hour out on the dummy with her roping. She caught her first calf at a the first rodeo she entered in a 6.5 and won second place. Tell me how lucky that is.
Tonight we roped calves, and tied goats. All the kids did great and worked hard. But I found out what motivates my little blue eyed monster, BISCUITS AND GRAVY!!!!! Oh yes, she said if i catch you have to make us biscuts and gravy. She dosent like it together. But dang she ran out there like she had roped twenty years and pounded that jersey!!!!! We laughed a little and had so much fun.
School is going great, the kids love what they are doing. We have roped or dogged every night this week, and its gone good. Life really is what you make it, and boy ours is rich. We may still have the same ford from the past ten years, and our car is as old as i am. But i wouldn't trade what we have going. Sorry to brag a little, but it makes my heart smile.
We have had such a great summer in the practice pen, and hauling to little amauter rodeos this summer.
Dream big, smile often, love those who are around you, eat icecream, learn to laugh at yourself, make a new friend, kiss your mom, hug your dad, just living the dream here in little old Nephi,UT.
