My strong silent mysterious man got tickets from one of his clients to Owyhee County Rodeo last night. So I dusted off a cowboy hat and boots, and was so excited! The drive out there, I am sure I began channeling Annie Oakley... I manage to keep it in check, but in my heart, I just don't think a girl can have enough western wear... and now with all the "bling".... oh so fun!! The boys wouldn't gear up with me though... I think this is a clear indication that have failed as a mother... boys not excited to go to the rodeo! What? 
The clown had a little assistant in training... he was adorable, but I was seriously worried he was going to be trampled at ever pull of the gate. But he was pretty quick on his feet.
Hey, surprise... I knew one of the contestants running for Rodeo Queen this year.... it made it so fun to watch their equestrian contest. Good Luck Natalie!!
Hey, we know this guy behind the scenes too! We saw you working hard back there... I was soooo happy not to see you on one of those bulls Josh! I don't think I could have handled it... it is hard enough to think you let your babies go out strapped to the back of a sheep for the "mutton busting". They must have your tough cowboy blood... that was heart wrenching for me to watch too! But none of them seemed any worse for the wear when it was all said and done.
The teenager ran into some of his friends too! Dad teased him for having his own "entourage" everywhere we go.... so funny! But he does seem to know someone everywhere we go.
It was fun to get out and I think a good time was had by all! I know I loved every minute of it!!!
I think they had fun even though they acted like I was a complete embarassment to them before we left the house.
It was "Tough enough for Pink" night, pink. Seeing cowboy who is not too tough to wear pink... oh melt my heart! An arena full of them... wow!!!!!

I know! 6 years and not one rodeo... but I am back in the groove, feeling like I should do all my clothes shopping at the local D&B (agriculture supply store). And adding a new pair of boots to my Christmas list this year!

Can't believe the boys wouldn't wear cowboy hats. Yours still looks terrific! So glad you had a blast.
Oh that looked like a fun day.
It has been years and YEARS since I have been to a rodeo
