Rodeo weekend

Get ready for ALOT of pictures.

Feel free to skip through but I just had to post

I am a little late on getting these pictures posted.

We put the kids in a little JR. rodeo a few weeks ago.

My Mom has this "mini" horse, that is the sweetest little horse, that Kenzi rode.

Let's just say that poor Kenz had the worst luck.

At rodeo there is a little place where you just walk your horse around until it is your turn.

So my sister-in-law Shana (pregnant) was leading Kenzi on this little horse
when a big horse got wild and ran by Kenzi and Shana and spooked this little horse.

The horse took off, dragging Shana and finally throwing Kenzi off.
Thank goodness she didn't have too far to fall, but STILL!
Then it was her turn to go into the arena and do her events (poles and barrel racing).

Luke was leading her and things were going great.....until

the wind starting blowing (just for a second), and

blew a pole over right when Kenzi, Luke and the little horse were next to it.

It fell over hitting the horse right on the butt.
Of course it freaked the horse out,

bucking Kenzi off.

Poor thing!

Luke kept a hold of the horse, picked Kenzi up and finished the race.

Kenzi was so strong and brave.

You can't tell very good from this picture but her little check was scratched up and bleeding!
Before the rodeo

Kason, Kenzi, Kooper and Kyron

My little cowboys and girl
Kenzi got a new hat and LOVED it!
Kooper wanted a hat bad, so he put both of the boys hats on:)










The boys rode calves for the first time ever.
Kyron wasn't sure about doing it.
Kason of course didn't give it a secong thought.
Kyron and Kason both in the chutes before they rode the calves.

Luke helping the boys get on the calves before they rode.
Kason just getting started.

Kason holding on for a few seconds...before getting bucked off!

This is my favorite picture.

Look at how high the calf is!

This is all we got of Kyron.

He had 2 different calves.

The first one wouldn't go, so when the next one did

we weren't ready with the camera.

Kooper watching with me from the sidelines.

My niece, Camdyn watching all the excitment too!


I had to post this one because I love the look on Kenzi's face.

Luke was loving her right after the big fall.

Camdyn has never ever let Luke hold her.

She is so scared of him, but look!

She climbed right up on his lap.

First time, ever!
