At the beach

I made this page for my brother Dennis and his wife Alison.
I took the picture of them on the beach,
and when I saw the picture Alison took of their footprints,
I had an idea for a scrap page. I had so much fun on our quick
drive up the coast, they showed me some great spots,
and I got to walk on the sand, and put my feet in the Ocean
for the first time in 14 yrs!
This is a thank you for a great trip, hope you like it!

Jr . Rodeo's have started again

Saturday was our first Jr Rodeo this year.
We arrived at the arena in Grace at 8:00 AM and left at 7:30 PM,
it was a very cold/windy day only got out of the 40's the last 30 min. we were there.

Shelby broke her own record from last year Running Barrels,
she had a 29 second run. She had a clean run in Pole Bending,
but we have to get Cliff to go faster.
She did great with her Goat Tie Down, but the goat got loose.

Brock had a tough day.
For the Calf Tie Down he was up after a calf change,
got a big calf and had trouble flipping him,
but he kept trying, and got a hold of the legs and pulled,
he ended pulling the calf on top of himself.
But for Mom, the worst part of the day was Brock in the Steer Riding.
He about gave me a heart attack.
When he hit the dirt, the steer landed on him with both back legs,
he hit Brock so hard, it knocked him down too.
It took him a bit to catch his breath, but he is ok.
He has a good bruise on his back, and he was very sore this morning.
We are so glad he was wearing his vest.
Me and Travis were hoping it scared him and hurt bad enough
that he would decide maybe he didn't want to ride Bulls,
but nope....he wants to keep on riding!
He even told his Dad, "that really hurt, but it was kinda cool".
All I can say is, he is just like his Dad,
and that isn't gonna help me sleep at night!

In 2 weeks we get to do it all over again.
We are hoping for better weather, and Wacey is going to try the Goat Tie.

Missing Mom

Last night I made this page in Memory of Mom.

Journaling-

Mom, we miss you so very much
On every Mother’s Day;
And not just then, but every minute,
Since you went away.

You were the center of our lives
Before your soul passed on;
It’s just so hard for us to believe
That you are really gone.

But we celebrate the life you lived
And all the things you gave us;
Our wonderful memories, Mom, of you
Are the things that will comfort us.

Please think of us, as we think of you
With hearts so full of love;
We’re looking up at you, sweet Mom,
As you look at us from above.

Chloe in a box

Chloe was so cute while I was working on this page, when I put her picture in the
box she said, "Mommy, you no put Chloe in a box".

Because of you, I believe that with courage, faith, hope and love...
Miracles do happen!

Iron Man

Here's a video clip of our bull "Iron Man"
He's our first bull who's good enough to take to
NBBA Derbys! Wish him luck!
And no, I will NOT let Brock ride this one!

Mullet Man

Brock and his Mullet....I just had to scrap it!
He's our little 80's flashback kid.
He loves his mullet and mine and Travis' old rock-n-roll collection.



The 80's called, they want their Mullet back.

Journaling:
My dear Brock, you love your mullet! It makes me smile.
You don't care what others think or say. Some friends
told you to cut it off...others even laughed. But you
didn't care! You said, I like it, and I'm keeping it!
Now some of your friends of grown a mullet, because they
want to be like you!

Where is spring?

Hope everyone is having a great Easter Weekend!
It's hard to believe its Spring. We've had new snow
3 days this week!
This is just a fun page I did the other night, when I was trying
to wrap my mind around the thought of Easter weekend,
When it was snowing HUGE snowflakes, and we got 6 more inches of new snow :)
Hope everyone has a beautiful Easter Weekend!
We all wish we were in Vegas for the Easter party :(
