NEW HEBRON RODEO


We spent Saturday in New Hebron, MS.
Caleb's 2nd Rodeo.



It was a beautiful day.



Stacy stayed home with the little ones and I got to spend
the entire day with my oldest child.
We have not done that in a while!



My Aunt Renee (a.k.a Bullet) and her family came to watch.
My home town is only about 3o miles from New Hebron.

I was so happy to see her.
She is about as cool as they come.



Bonnie & Clyde

One of the great things about these two-
the are just SO happy to be there.


Just livin'the dream.

It's fun to watch.


My sweet boy.



"Cowboy Cool" Rick-
Couldn't you just eat him up?!

We do love Uncle Rick!


Cutting


He had a pretty good ride.
Scored a 63.


Not as good as last week.
He was a little disappointed.
There were a lot of family and friends there.
He wanted to win.


It was a good life lesson,though.
Sometimes you REALLY,REALLY,REALLY want to win.


You don't win,
and that's O.K.

I asked him if he still loved it enough to keep
going, even though he wasn't winning.

He said,"Yes".

Exactly what I wanted to hear.


It's a whole lot of work for 2 minutes of riding.

But he loves it.

We want them all to have something that they LOVE.

I think he has found his"something".


Eden did win! Jr. High Girls Division.

Her score - 72!

She rides a sweet little mare named "Netta".

We are proud of both of them.

Peace.
