What a Day................

What a GREAT DAY this turned out to be. Dickie decided a while back that he might want to go to this roping. We had seen the posters in Buzz's Diner like 2 months ago. Dickie hasn't gone to a roping in like forever. Seems like there were always other place for the extra bucks to go! Like Dance classes, Missions, Sports Camps and such. So when he wanted to go, I was very excited. Dez, the girls and I drove out to watch for a bit. Dickie headed out early to find a few partners. The Roping was called " Benefit for a Childs Benefit." sorts like St. Judes is what we understood.................You paid cash to enter, but if you placed you would be received prizes and no cash back. Dickie met up with some of his friends there from Duncan and entered with 3 partners Buddy, Richard and Jana. He roped great and ended up winning 1st and 7th place giving him enough points to win a Team Roping Saddle. But.... it got even better . Mylea entered the 6-8 Dummy Roping against the boys and placed 1st and won a Buckle. It was all very exciting................what a day! I was very proud of both of them!

A bit of Roping

Look who showed up this Memorial Day weekend. Clancey and Kody from College for a bit of a break. The boys play for MCC. They start their Soccer and Football Seasons back up in July.

Somethings you just don't forget. The boys had to rope a few after the Rodeo on Memorial Day.

We were glad to see them and have them home for awhile. Guess I better go grocery shopping! hehehe

Memorial Day

We all enjoyed ourselves at the 1st Rodeo of the Summer this past Memorial Day. Fun was had by all. Checkout ole' Leaf Getter, she and Mylea mean business making a turn around barrel number one. They placed 3rd in the Pee Wee Barrel Race.

softball time

Mylea has a great time playing softball. She plays second base and catcher. She is very excited about getting to the games and trying to hit the ball. She hit a triple a few nights ago and was so excited I was afraid that she might do a cartwheel! Her team is the Athletics, but the girls wanted to be called the Jumpin' Frogs, so Aunt Dez made them all T- shirts and put frogs and their numbers down the sleeves . They are super cool! Just ask one of the Jumpin' Frogs.

Life is good in ole' R.V. , Dickie and I are not sure we are cut out for a Blog, but Mylea thinks we are. So don't expect much. But we'll give 'er a whirl. Our Summer so far has been filled with sun, fun, little league baseball and softball, lots of B.Q.'s and some Roping and Rodeoing on the side. It has been great having Wes and Amanda able to back in the community. They are doing great and enjoying their new home and added a member to their family (nope not grandparents yet) a black Lab dog, WOW is he big! We are looking forward to having Clancey home for the next 3 weeks.He is taking break from MCC Soccer and between jobs. He thinks he needs a break and some cash money and we think a little reality check might be good too. Mylea is happy that both her brothers will be here take her places and stuff (her words) Off into June, and wrapping up Mylea Sofball Season, we wil be spending alot of time at the Arena. So with any luck at all, we'll post some pictures as soon Dickie and I get our next lesson on blogging from our very own Blogging Extraordinare "Wes"
