Enjoy the ride.

Going down the slide.

Grandpa went on the puppy dog ride with Adalyn. She was looking back and smiling at her Grandpa a lot.

All smiles after the rodeo. Watching Charleigh ride the rides until they shut them down for the night.

Charleigh wanted to ride the "kitty kitty cupcake ride" with her daddy. We are not sure why but Clementine called it the Kitty, Kitty cupcake ride when she was here and now that is what we call it.

Sleepovers!

Clementine at breakfast. She was in the middle of getting dressed to go riding but she must have gotten sidetracked and forgot to put on any pants.

3 sweet little girls gathered around the table for breakfast.

After a much needed bath.

2 little Goofballs!

This picture is from today, the girls day went like this.
Wake up.
Play with Deuce.
Eat Biscuits and Bananas for Breakfast.
Go Riding.
Make Mud Pies in the barn.
Eat popcicles.
Take a Bath.
Eat peanut butter sandwiches.
Run around the house like wild indians with thier underwear on backwards, or sideways.
Read a book.
Take a nap.
Ahhhh yes right now all 3 are sleeping before we go to St. Clair rodeo for CHarleigh to barrel race tonight.

You can see that Charleigh's are on sideways by the fit. Clementine's little booty is the size of a 12 month old so her undies always look too big, but she does have them on backwards. They kept running around the house calling me sargent and giggling those sweet little giggles. I hope I can remember that sweet sound forever.

Bringing home the Bacon!

This is a picture of the latest buckle Ben has won. He rode at Kirksville, MO last night and was the only man to cover 2. He was 81 pts on his first bull and 85 pts on number 2. He brought home a nice fat check along with this shiny new buckle! He is a champ!

A Leap of FAITH



This is before take off. The butterflies in my stomach are starting to wake up.... This is the photographer that goes up with you, the camera goes onto his head and he uses a mouth piece to take the picture. He does still photography and video at the same time.
Look in the bottom right corner! That is the ground! When he opened the door about 2 minutes before we jumped I remember thinking "Seriously?"..... "Seriously, I am getting ready to jump out of this plane!" When we were going over the training they said that it is instinct to want to grab onto anything you can get your hands on, and that you shouldn't, but you will. I was thinking to myself "Not me, I will be ready to go." I guess this picture is proof, he is prying my hand that is white from gripping so tight, off of the plane. I think this might have been where my brain was trying to save my life.
There is a tiny little ledge that you are supposed to put your right foot on and then wait until it is time to jump. I do not remember jumping, I wonder if he just kinda gave us a little push to help us along.
I am behind Terry (the man attached to my back) you can see the plane we have just abandoned!

Above the Clouds...


The guy I went with said that the clouds were at about 5,000 feet and we were at 12,000 feet! When we went over the cloud you could see our shadow under it, and a circular rainbow.
