USTRC Finals in Oklahoma weekend

As posted in an earlier post, Royce and Cole qualified to rope in the team roping finals in Oklahoma this past weekend. Although it was a very "eventful" trip (from the truck smoking the entire way up there and back home....ole "skeeter" is it's new name - to being only ONE second out of making the short round (paying out at 98 thousand a team), we DID have a great time! It was such a great experience and we will DEFINITELY be returning again next year. I did come out with a kick ass pair of boots though....oh and $120 dollars profit from the casino on the way back!! Go me! Here are some pictures and a few videos of the boys doin' their thang! =)

Here are my new boots....

A "Coozie" update

It's been a while since I've updated you on Coozie (6 months actually). But I wanted to show you how MUCH she has grown in such a short period of time. When Coozie came to us she weighed approximately 17 pounds and was 8 weeks old......now, she's 6 months old (and 3 days to be exact) and weighs in at 80+ pounds. OH MY is right.... Royce and I can't believe it...she's almost as tall as Diesel and I am betting WILL be bigger than him before it's all said and done! Here she is when we first got her.....






and this is her now!








I love this "big" girl!!! =)
