Roping

The weather has been so yucky lately that there hasn't been too many ropings, but we love going! It's my chance to sit and watch...no chores :) The kids love playing with their cowboy/girl friends and of course Vance is in heaven. I have decided I'm bad luck, because everytime I go home he comes and tells me how he won this or that. When I'm there, he never wins...not that he does badly, just no $$ :)

This year he is heading and heeling...mostly on Monty, but a little on Fancy.

1000 Words Thursday!

One of my husband's favorite hobbies and one of God's greatest creations....

Two More Things....

I forgot two things in my post...
1)My husband won his roping on Saturday and won a 2nd place and 3rd place on Sunday. Good job Honey!!!
2)You have to read the most current Stretch Marks post and if you don't get tears in your eyes...you have no heart!

Nag, Nag, Nag...

Vance has been nagging me to post his roping video. He got both legs which is called "clean." Remember, when I go watch, this is what I watch ALL day:) No, really I don't mind it. I take a book and the kids have a ball. It's much better than being left home alone!

P.S. The "Faster Horses" song is Vance's addition to my blog!

Roping

A couple roping pictures for you roping fans out there. This was the Memorial Day roping post poned a week and it was hot and dusty! The kids and I came home with an inch of dust on us and under that a new tan...yay! Colby LOVES roping. He pushes the cattle behind the chutes the entire time. Danny Murphy even got him his own prodding stick for his birthday! Emma equally loves roping, but it's more for the socializing. She'll talk to anyone. I got a couple videos of Vance roping, but will wait to post them. You guys might be videoed out! He did really well in the 9, but no money won. I left right after that, so I'm sure he'll win the next go around. Off to bathe dusty, tired children.
