KRRS RODEO FINALS 6/7/09

Savannah had her finals in her KRRS series at our church on Sunday. She did a great job in all her events and we are really proud of her! Way to go Savannah and "Angel!" The awards were given at the end of the day~they received a buckle, rope bag, kids rope, trick rope, brush and several roping gloves. Waiting her turn for the barrels!

Silly girls! Lindsay, Savannah and Brooklyn~waiting for there awards!

Posing with all her loot! Way to go Savannah~we are so proud of you!!

I'll leave you with the video of her penning her cows.

"PEDRO" & SAVANNAH

The other day Savannah told me she wanted to ride "Pedro." Okay, so she did and he bucked her off twice, actually she stepped off of him when he would start acting up, but anyway she did it. She was alittle aggravated he was acting that way. We took a video so her Daddy could see her. Yesterday she announced she was going to ride him again and he wasn't going to buck her off! LOL! The previous owner's son used to ride him a long time ago, and she was determined to do it herself. So we set out and she did a great job. She told us she got the buck out the day before! LOL! She rode him around in the lot for about 20 minutes or so! You can tell in the video he is just alittle stubborn! The 1st video is her riding him for the first time! The 2nd video is her riding him a couple of days later!

Savannah & "Angel"

I think I've lost my horse! I took this video at her rodeo this month! She has now started loping and she just loves it! I'm so happy to see how much confidence she is gaining! I'm very proud of her and of "Angel!"

PASTURE ROPING

Last Saturday our church had a Pasture Roping at our preacher's house. I love going there, it is just beautiful and always alot of fun. Hubby's team rode in it and won 2nd! Way to go guys!

WHEW!!

It has been crazy around here this last week! This is the first time I've gotten on the computer in a week! Last Saturday hubby had a pasture roping and Sunday Savannah had her 3rd KRRS at church. Then my allergies kicked in on Monday and I was down until Thursday and to top it off she got the stomach bug too!! I don't know what kicked my allergies in, but I'm glad to be back to the land of the living! Look forward to seeing what you all have been up to, missed you guys!

Here is a video of her Mutton Bustin from her rodeo last weekend! She was so excited it wasn't a dud this time! Notice the huge smile on her face at the end!

NOT SO WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!!

Not so WW!! Hope you all are well, busy here, like it is everywhere! Count down till the end of school! We have some event every weekend, it's plum crazy!! Farrier came out yesterday afternoon to replace "Roo's" front shoe that he lost, so he could use him today day working. Well, he picked up the right front foot and he went down in the front end. Dang it! He checked his left front and he had a abscess~double dang! He has not even been limping! He got it open and draining, so that's a good thing. Gave him some bute last night and started Epsom salt soaks, as hubby has a pasture roping on Saturday he will need him for. So "Willis" earned him a trip day working today! Go "Wilis!!" Doing a horse demo at the school tomorrow for K & 1st grades Field Day. We are asked every year to do it and we love too! We love sharing the horses with the kids and teaching them about them as well. Hope you all are having a great week! Love ya'll!!

SHE'S BACK HOME~WOO HOO!!!

"Shelby's" back safe and sound at home! Hubs picked her up on his way home from work this morning. He called and told me she was p*ssed at him and wasn't giving him the time of day! LOL! Of course he is the one that dropped her off on Tuesday! She came in the door of the house and straight in to my lap for a solid hour! I think she may have missed me! Just got through giving her a bath and cleaned up. She has been in a pen outside with him for 5 days! I told hubby she probably thought she was in h*ll! She is used to sleeping inside, normally in the bed! I'm glad to have her back and will keep you all posted! And to answer PG~the normal gestation for a dog is 60-62 days. Hopefully real soon we will be posting some puppy pics!

Off to get ready for tomorrow, it is our play day after church. They are calling for rain, but I hope it holds off as Savannah really wants to ride! Have got to get hubby's dinner ready for tomorrow, as he is working nights.

I wish each and every one of you mom's~HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! Love ya'll and hope you are having a blessed weekend!

I MISS MY GIRL!!

Man I miss this! I miss my girl being here with me! Nothing has happened to her, she is away getting bred to our friend's Hanging Tree Dog~Chuck! Hubby dropped her off on Tuesday and was supposed to pick her up this evening and bring her home. Well, he called this afternoon and said they wanted to keep her until Saturday to increase her chances of being bred.

Okay I guess I can/will have to live with that! Little Cowgirl wasn't real happy when I told her it would be another few days before she came back!! She does everything with me and I have missed her bunches the last few days! She is such a great companion! Who couldn't love that face!??! Needless to say we will be counting down the days till we can go get our girl!! Miss ya "Shelby" & love you bunches!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

We had a Sort & Doctor event at church last night. You had to sort 3 head and rope the 3rd. And our team took 1st! Way to go guys! We had alittle trouble on the ground, but still got it done. Normally what happens when hubby and I ride together is not good! I swear it's like we can't win when we ride together! We have been getting better though! It was a great time and I was glad the weather held off to have the event. We are supposed to be having Church in the Dirt this morning, but it is raining now! Hope you all have a blessed Sunday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOODLEBUG!

Happy Birthday Doddlebug! My baby girl turns 7 years old today! My goodness where has time gone? Seems like she was just a baby not too long ago! She will be a 2nd grader next year!

She is such a blessing to us and we love her so very much! She has a huge heart and a great personality. She has made us very proud of the young girl she is becoming!

Happy Birthday ~ Doddlebug!! Love you!

Okay, I think I finally got them all uploaded to Blogger! Goodness gracious! There are videos of her doing each event~Barrels, penning, goat roping/flipping/branding and Mutton Bustin! Better go out and check everyone as the weather is supposed to get pretty bad this evening with storms and such. Hope you all had a great Monday! :)

2nd KRRS

Yesterday was Savannah's 2nd KRSS series at our church. The events were: barrels, penning, goat roping/flipping/branding and Mutton Bustin'. She did a great job yesterday, we are so very proud of her!

**I guess I'm going to have to load each video seperately! For some reason they will load, but when I go to publish I keep getting a tag error! UGH!**

NOT SO WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!

A couple of weeks ago our church held a Buck Wild Rough Stock Challenge. We parked next to the cow truck. Well I had told her she could play but she needed to stay in the area we were in. I looked up and couldn't find her. So I walked to the truck and trailer to see if she was playing there, nope not there either! Okay, I look over at the cow truck and hear giggling! I called her name, I get a yes mam! Busted, she was playing in the cow truck! She comes up to the door and sits down for her picture and then looks at me and says~ "Mom, this is totally awesome!" She loved getting to look around inside the truck! Let me tell you she can pick out a cow truck a mile away! Her Dad has thought her all bought them, as he used to drive one! One will pass and people are ugh~the smell and she'll say "Smells like money!" LOL! I love my little cowgirl!

HANNAH MONTANA HAS HIT OUR HOUSE!

Well Hannah Montana has hit our house hold! Let me start by saying she had never watched HM before December. We just got Dish late December and she started asking to watch the show. I watched it with her a couple of times and was impressed with the actual "G" rating and thought it was a cute show. So when Hannah Montana the movie came out on the 15th of this month, We had a mother/daughter night and went and saw it! I will say, I LOVED the movie, as she did too! And it to was a actual "G" rating, that is truly hard to find these days.

So with all that she has been asking for some HM clothes. I found this little number on the clearance rack at Walmart for $3.00~arm gloves and all! She was so excited!

This is her modeling her outfit this morning before school!

Still here~

I'm still here! Goodness gracious, it has been crazy busy around here! Missed you all and posting! Been catching up with you all this afternoon. Glad to be back and hopefully I won't be gone that long again! Love you guys!

Awww~how sweet!

Caught them sharing a moment after she ran "Dragon" through the sale last Saturday!
