Getting ready for his event:

The first video is a close up of his ride and the second video includes them talking to him after the ride:

 


Blake took second place.  The first place kid was a rodeo pro who rode the sheep all around the front and then back behind the sheep pens.  Blake took the cake from the novices!!!

Time To Party

In the pool celebrating Blake's 2nd place victory as a mutton buster.  All of our video footage and photos are on cameras so I will upload them tomorrow. I am a proud mama.

P.S. Blake was beat by a Jr. Rodeo kid who wore chaps, a chest shield, and a serious helmet.  His dad was in the rodeo and when he was asked if he likes riding sheep he replied, "I ride baby bulls."  

Rod-eh-oh

Yee-Haw!

Wake Up

It's rodeo day and my kids are still sleeping at 8:34am.  Happy 4th of July.

ETA

They're here.  Andrew's family is in town for the next week to celebrate 4th of July, as well as his birthday on the 6th.  Meet Olive.  She is the newest four legged member of the family.  Part dachshund/part ?terrier?.  She is absolutely adorable and maybe the most well-behaved dog I have ever met.

Blake is stoked to have his cousin here:

Go On

I'm proud they are gay.  Gay Pride Parade is whooping it up downtown.  I had an errand to run downtown not knowing about this.  Thank goodness Andrew could loop around in the car and pick me up.

Band

Out for drinks and live music.  I love babysitters and getting to know my husband outside his "dad" role.  Time to get ruckus.
