Thankful for friends

" A FAITHFUL FRIEND IS A STRONG DEFENSE; AND HE THAT HATH FOUND ONE HATH FOUND A TREASURE"
Thanks to all those great friends I have. Each day I am so thankful for all of you. I have been so fortunate to learn and grow by having so much. Friends who are great athletes, talented horse women and men, caring, kind, forgiving, hard working, faithful, full of kindness.
So Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for your friendship!
Our family had a great weekend in St.George, Dixon won the calf roping with a 9.2 run and some awesome rides in the bulls. Cowboy Prom was Friday night, he took Bailee Pulham, she was the cutest girl there. They had a great time, went to dinner, danced and laughed.
Headed to vegas for the finals on Sunday, warm sunny vegas. Cant wait.

love

LOVE IS EVERYTHING ITS CRACKED UP TO BE. THATS WHY PEOPLE ARE SO CYNICAL ABOUT IT, IT REALLY IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR, BEING BRAVE FOR, RISKING EVERYTHING FOR. AND TROUBLE IS, IF YOU DON'T RISK ANYTHING YOU RISK EVEN MORE.
THIS STATEMENT HOLDS DEEP TO LIFE, IF YOU REALLY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT LIFE THEN YOU HAVE TO LOVE IT AND RISK EVERYTHING OR LOOSE EVERY THING. LIFE IS ALWAYS WORTH THE RISK.
LIFE IS EVERYTHING ITS CRACKED UP TO BE, ITS WORTH FIGHTING FOR. A FRIEND OF MINE IS WRITING A BOOK ABOUT HER LIFE. I CAN BARELY WAIT UNTIL ITS COMPLETE. WHAT AN AWESOME, EXCITING WORK!! BETTER THAN A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT I THINK. MIGHT HAVE TO TRY IT SOME DAY.

year end awards~

Well another fantastic season has come to a close for the Central Utah Jr. Rodeo association. What a fantastic night of awards, food, fun and an awesome guest speaker. I wanted to change it up a little, so i invited a friend who is so talented in so many different avenues, Danna Burns Shaw. Danna came and shared with the kids and parents some fantastic ideas.
Mostly about our thoughts, two most important things of the day. Our first and last thoughts. Then giving thanks and sending it out to the universe and watching our returns. Service, give back. She had that Danna Shaw twinkle in her eye and i knew we would be in for an evening of great words.
2009 saddles were given to the all-arounds, congrats to all of you and congrats to the reserve all around winners. One of my favorite winners of the night were the winners of the 13-17 heeling events. Racheal Fackrell went home with this award, and it was her first buckle win!!! How exciting, I get to rope with Racheal all the time and she truly inspires me. She has grown leaps and bounds and overcome so huge obstacles. She is a winner in the arena and definitely life! Another favorite was Zeek and Dan Woodland, Dan's first buckle win with his son. Those don't get any better, way to go boys. I love to see teams, team up and win. And last but not least Grandpa Winn, he showed up more than once to win a prize with Shad, Dixon and Brent. What a huge hero he is to me, and my children. He never thinks he is capable, but oh does he know! Great job to all of you.
Every year i feel a little frazzled as everything comes to a year. Then it's so overwhelming to me to see so many kids effort truly pay off. thanks for all the hugs, and special words, Casy and I love to be in the service of all you, that's truly what makes it worth while!!@!!
