Oh my goodness another season has passed us up. We finished our jr rodeo series on monday. We have had the best help ever. It is so fun to get together even if its a small group, we work hard, laugh hard, and bbq hard after its over. All of the kids did great, the stock was perfect and the day wasn't to warm.
The year end banquet will be coming up in October and we will give saddles, cash, buckles and prizes. Fun time guarenteed.
Work made me super happy today, we sent the Double Dollar catalog off to the printers and I don't have to stress about it. YEH! We have brought all the mares in and will trim feet, work teeth and be outside, I can't wait. . . enough of the computer for me!!
The kids are doing awesome, Shad is playing football and loving it, playing mostly middle linebacker, and kick off team. He loves to hit hard. There team is undefeated.
Dixon is busy in Holden, working, school, seminary and really loving it. He has tied some fast ones in the calves. He was a 8.7 in Hinckley and 10.1 in Rich which placed him first in both. He would of won vernal with a 9.1 but unfortunatly broke out. Bull riding and Team roping we are struggling a little. He continues strive for perfection and just needs to remember how much talent he has.
KyLeigh tied the fastest goat time of the season with a 14.1 in the short-go. She also tied a 15 in the long go. She has been running fancy the brown mare in the barrels, we went from a 33 to a 19 in less than 3 weeks. Watch out barrel racers. She is working on her swing in the break-away and team roping, and was a 25 in the poles on Shorty her pony., placing in the 5th grade and under rodeo.
Our extended kids are doing awesome, Marrissa and Jeremy are going to have a little girl soon, we are excited about that!!!
Life is good, and exciting. I made a commitment to a friend who has chewed since he was nine, that if he quit chewing i would run an extra mile each run day. Working towards 9 miles in 60 minutes, im getting there day by day. Rowdy has done awesome and hasn't had a chew for a month. Its hard im sure but that is just great.
It just goes to say we can acheive anything in our power if we really want it bad enough.
I love fall and all that it brings with it, those cool mornings and the colors on the mountain. Reminds me of harvesting grain, chasing elk and deer around the mountain side, gathering pastures, and halloween. What a great time to be alive, until next time keep your corners up and keep working hard!!!
