Cowboy Up!!!

This summer Aaron took the kids on our annual Sherriff Posse family week at Morman Lake. I stayed home since I had just had a our new little baby a few days earlier. Now don't freak out and judge Aaron for leaving me home alone with a newborn baby to fend for myself. I was pretty much to a point where I could crawl to the crib and get the baby all by myself. He also left me some bread and a little bit of water, so I was good. Anyways, the kids all participated in different events on the horses. Pole bending, barrel racing and roping, to name a few. Colton was riding his horse, Roxy, for the poles and she decided that she didn't really feel like being a good little horse. When the fam got home my Dad started to tell me, with a huge smile on his face and uncontrolable enthusiasm, about Roxy bucking with COLTON ON HER BACK. He so enthusiastically told me about how incredibly awesome Colton did at staying on her and he couldn't believe how high she had bucked with him.....until he looked up to see my, NOT SO AMUSED, look on my face. He then immediately changed the whole tone of the story to, man we rode Roxy hard after that. She learned her lesson. Whew, we're so grateful that Colton is o.k., I'm sure nothing like that will EVER happen again. LET'S HOPE NOT!!!! Here's a few photos of my cowboy ridin' his bucking bronco :) (Ya, that's right, they were taking pictures instead of trying to SAVE HIS LIFE)
