Weekend Recap...a little late

Last weekend we enjoyed the HLS&R and My Cowboy's Birthday.

At 6am on a SATURDAY!!! I was up by 4:30.


8AM: Cutting Show
Jason's family has cutting horses. They have participated in many events over the past years. They also compete in team penning and sorting.

Cutting is judged on the ability of the horse to separate a numbered cow from the herd, hold it away from the herd in the middle of the arena and then pen the cow. This is a 2 1/2 minute timed event.

Jason's dad and Brenda joined us.

Me and the Birtday Boy!!

This lasted a few hours so by the time it was over it was lunchtime. We "snacked" on turkey leg, fried bacon, and BBQ baked potatoes. We wanted to try the fried ice cream, and fried meatballs but we had no more room.

For all inquiring minds...fried bacon tastes just like regular bacon. It's battered and isn't greasy like you would think.

We walked off the food with some shopping : )

Later that evening we attended a ranch rodeo. Teams came from around the USA to compete. A 4 man team completes different rodeo events. The combined lowest score from the 5 different events wins.

The Bellville Heritage Cowgirls started the show. I didn't know Bellville had this and I grew up 15 minutes away from there.

This 10 year old young lady sang the national anthem. After she was done the announcer said, "Well folks that's our show". She was A-Mazing!

This is just a few shots of the MANY I took.

Bronc Riding

Steer Wrestling

This cowboy rode so well (in the above pic) but he busted it. He got right up and did a little dance. So cool...gotta love those cowboys!!

We got home by midnight. We were exhausted.

Sunday was busy as well. Cowboy's birthday lunch with my family. Dad, Mom, and Cole came to our house. We enjoyed some Mexican food from our local hangout.

Can't tell we were at the rodeo for 16 hours??!!!

We loved being with family this past weekend to celebrate a wonderful man. He means the world to me and I couldn't picture my life without him.

Remember us??!!!!

Got your attention didn't I??!!!

Over the weekend I came acroos this website...

FlyLady

I know I found this only 3 days ago but I must say I do not stress about cleaning anymore. I receive daily emails and tweets of gentle reminders. Everything is listed in 5, 10, or 15 minute intervals. Then I can go on with my day. I don't have to spend hours on house cleaning or procrastinate about folding laundry.

Join in and let me know what you think!!
