Jr Rodeo Weekend

One of my goals this weekend is to get totally caught up on blogging!  The weekend of the Fair, we had 2 Jr. Rodeos.  Saturday we were in Taylor and Sunday in Burwell.  Both girls did really well.  Jeane made a couple mistakes, but that is what Jr. Rodeos are about!  They are a great place to learn and get ready for the next level of rodeo.  Aubree and Trey each one their first belt buckles.  Both riding Speedster.  Aubree won hers in the 5-7 year old at Taylor.  The neat thing was Jenae won the same event when she was the same age as Aubree at the same rodeo riding the same horse!  Trey won the 5 & under boys at the Burwell Jr. Rodeo.  He was pretty excited!  Speedster is a very special horse and I think it is so cool that all three of the oldest grandkids won their first buckle on Speedster!

Holt County Fair

 We had a great week at the Holt County Fair. I took the whole week off from work and really was able to relax and enjoy the week.  Well I guess there was not much relaxing, but it was more enjoyable not trying to juggle my job with all the fun! 

 

Kyle thought we should start Fair week off with a Drive in Movie! We had a great time taking the girls to their first Drive in Movie, Planes Fire and Rescue.

Cheyenne--The Daddy of 'Em All

With my summer schedule change and being able to take an extra day off, I wanted to make the most of it and take the time to go to Cheyenne with my family.  It is such a fun rodeo and I am so glad I made the time to do so!! 

Kyle had a good run on his first steer, but no luck on his 2nd one.

Fair Prep

We had a couple of days between rodeos and Fair so we made the most of them.  Both girls took projects to the fair.  I think I am finally getting the hang of some of this.  Maybe next year we can do some of these projects in the winter :-)

We spend the days in the saddle getting practiced up for their events as well.  It was good to have have some down time!!!
