This year Buddy and Josie rode the sheep in the Katy Rodeo. Josie wasn't very excited about it but after a little bribery, a new cabbage patch doll, we were able to convince her to do it. However, after she was given a sheep that bucked on the way out of the gate she decided she was never doing that again. We'll see what we can bribe her with next year. Buddy was disappointed that he had a lazy sheep that just wanted to lay down. I think Josie and Buddy should have traded sheep and they both would have been very happy. We went with the Christensen's and the Elliott's and had a great time. Blake got to race in the stick horse race for the first time this year. He was a little slow starting but once he figured out what he was doing there was no stopping him. Garrett on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the arena. He wouldn't go in the arena because the bulls had been in there and he was convinced the bulls were going to charge after him as soon as he went in. After he saw Blake do it he realized it was okay and so now he says he wants to race next year. We'll see if that really happens. He is by far my most cautios little one. I'm sure one day I will be wishing he was still cautious. All in all we had a great time and can't wait to go next year.
