REALITY IS THE MIRROR OF YOUR THOUGHTS. CHOOSE WELL WHAT YOU PUT IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR!!!
I had the opportunity to spend sometime tonight at a 4-H horse show, judging. It made my heart smile!!!! It was a little county show in Salem. What a great time, the kids had so much fun, there smiles were contagious as well as those who have won and were prepared to win some more.
Tonight when I turned my score sheets in, there was the cutest boy in a Red Sox jersey waiting for a hot dog. Lucky for me, I got to visit with him. His name was Stratton, I asked him if he had hit a home run or double? No but you could see through his eyes that was a dream!!!
We talked and he told me he was going to get a goat and start tieing it!! He wasn't a wrestler or a basketball player, but going to be a calf roper and goat tyer. As I walked away to go to my car, glimpsing over my night, my heart was full of gratitude. For life and how enjoyable it can be if that's what we choose.
Happy thoughts attract Happy people in your life. So lucky to have some happy Thoughts and lots of happy friends!!!!!

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.

mountain time
So to start off our summer of course we headed to a rodeo. The kids went to Heber to a UJRA rodeo, we had a blast. Kyleigh ran shortie and had some great times. Dixon won the bull riding, 2ND in the chute dogging and 6Th in the ribbon roping. Shad was 2ND in the barrels, 3rd in the break-away roping.
We had fun as a family, the Boron's kidnapped Shad and took him home to Vernal for a few days. They also kidnapped Dixon for a couple of days to rope and play. Its such a great time in our lives to have such wonderful friends. The boys have had a blast, roping, swimming, playing. I have a surprise when they get home its called the VACATION IS OVER - WORK WORK WORK !!!! Won't they love that,
KyLeigh and I have been riding colts like there is no tomorrow. We have hit the mountain trails. She and I have seen snakes, horny toads, which she wanted to put in her pocket and show her dad!!! Bull Elk, flowers, streams, grass, she is sure its what heaven looks like.
I have enjoyed a little time one on one with my girl. We went to the park and had a contest in the swings and on the monkey bars, it was a good time.
Life is to short and I can't believe we are to the state finals for Dixon's sophomore year, Shad will be a 5Th grader, and Ky a 2ND grader!!!!! End of year brought them lots of great memories, good grades, athletic accomplishments, and some self satisfaction for knowing they did their best!!!

a little behind
A little behind, wow ok maybe a lot behind. Life has been crazy for us, I will just some up May, and hopefully get a head start on June!!!!!
The first weekend in May we were in Salina for the Benefit for Joseph Kimball. It was a smash, not to many people which made me a little sad. But it was a great day with some great roping, dancing, food, people. And the highlight was that Joseph's family came from Arizona and it was so nice, we hadn't seen them in a long time!!!
We raised about 5,000.00 for them, between the roping and the auction. So many great people helped. Thanks to all.
High School Rodeo finished up this month, and we are preparing for the state finals in a couple weeks. Dixon didn't have a great spring, so we are working on our weakness's, and strenghts.
I made a fast trip to Idaho Falls and then onto Billings Montana. I stopped to see my nephew play in a baseball game. And my sister and I caught up like we should have a long time ago. It was fun. She and i don't have to much in common, but it was like to friends who hadn't passed in a while. Ended up staying to late, showering at 1:30 am and driving like a wild banshee to Billings in the middle of the night.
Luckily the angels still like me, I fell sound a sleep for at least 5 minutes right outside of the park. Thanked them and kept driving. It was crazy. Once in Billings I got to sleep in paradise. Then temple parking lot for a couple of hours.
This day was so special, my friend Penny Jones went through for her endowments. She looked so great and it was a great day. The matrons at the temple were so good to her. It was tremendous, I stayed the night in Burlington Wyoming with Penny and her children. Some were just baptized into the church, so we had a great discussion about so many things!! Watch out heaven, here comes the Jones bunch.
Leaving the next morning I stopped in Lander to meet another friend, Megan and visit. After a couple of taco's from Taco Bell it was back to the black top.
I made it home in time to ride a couple of horses and make a little dinner.
We went to a horse show in Delta with Grandma and Grandpa and had a great day. Grandma showed Dolly in the Ellsworth Pope Class. She was gleaming like I hadn't seen for a long time. She looked marvellous, in her pink top with her matching saddle pad. All of us, won a little and lost a little.
To finish up the month we will go to a UJRA jr rodeo in Heber. Practice some more, maybe sleep in since summer is here!!! Make a plan for summer and have the best days of our entire lives!!!!
Happy is the house that shelters a friend. We are planning on having a few of those this summer!!!!
Lastly I am a Grandma!!!! Brigham Jeremy Davis was born last Tuesday and he is so handsome!!!! Marrissa did a great job bringing him into the world and will be a super mom!!! Casy and i can't say enough great things about this girl who spent a little time at our house, other than we are so proud of her and love her!!!

joe's 10 run!!!
My friend Lisa is a great mom and friend, while the boys are off rodeoing. She is home tending cows, fences, water. What ever needs done she is on it. She can even rope off the 4-wheeler now that's talent!!! Heres a video of Joe since you couldn't make it.I know Joe loves and appreciates you so much. So do I thanks for raising such a great, fun kid for Dixon to hang with. They sure make me laugh, it was fun. We ate overkill burritos and some stop and go, showered in sulfur water, set off the fire alarm, and the boys chased elephants and only missed their curfew by 10 minutes.
back to the practice pen
So we didn't have the weekend we had hoped for, so its back to the practice pen. We worked on tieing mostly and slowed things down. Dixon has been roping on a new paint mare of Grandpa Winn's and she is doing great. Ky and Shad rode and roped some. Shad was working on his trotting skills with his new mount Magic. She loves to go fast, so grandpa was showing Shad how to slow her down. We are so lucky to have a grandpa with so much knowledge. We love it when he comes to rope and help. Moving to Nephi we have lots of great opportunity's and practice time. We miss our friends out there, but we are so glad for Grandma and Grandpa Winn. Last night Grandma came down and rode with us to. I know Kyleigh really looks up to her and really loves to spend time with her. They were both rodeo stars.
Joe and Dixon had a blast this weekend, Joe made a nice calf run, and dixon made a great bull dogging run we just broke out. These boys I don't think will ever grow up. This is a quote I love and these boys live it out every day of the week!!
FRIENDSHIP IS NEVER ESTABLISHED AS AN UNDERSTOOD RELATION. IT IS A MIRACLE WHICH REQUIRES CONSTANT PROOFS. IT IS AN EXERCISE OF THE PUREST IMAGINATION AND THE RAREST FAITH.
They love each other and it shows, so thankful for good friends, u know those kind that love you even when you are silly, gagging in the shower, ask Joe and dixon about that. To much sulfur in the air!!!! ha ha
