We had the first annual family rodeo this past weekend. It was a ton of fun! My dad, brother and me team roped. Here's me and my brother roping together.
We then went on to the ribbon roping. This is where one person is on a horse and ropes a calf. Another person is on foot and runs to the calf after the first person ropes it. The person on foot gets a ribbon off of the calf's tail and runs to the finish line. My dad and mom were a team, then Jordan and Devan were a team, and me and Alex were a team. My dad and mom won this event with the shortest combined times.
We then went to chute dogging. This is just like bull dogging only we don't have to bail off a horse, we just hang onto to the steer as they are coming out of the chute. This was really fun. Almost every one got in on this one, even me, but I had a ton of help getting the steer over!

The last event was the money calf. We taped different prizes on the backs of the calves. We let the calves go in the arena, then it was a free for all. You chase a calf down to get the prize. Alex and me got a gift certificate to Texas Roadhouse!
The rodeo was great and we are really excited to do it again next year. Also Brittany couldn't do the rodeo with us because she is pregnant!!! After two years of not being able to they finally got it! We are so excited, she is due in April!

That sounds like it was a ton of fun! You're braver than I am though; I doubt I would've done the chute dogging. I'd rather keep some distance between myself and a pair of horns.
I love to hear you are still riding! Remember when I rode one of your horses and I grabbed the neck and almost made the horse flip me off? Good times... haha Congrats to your sister! Miss you :)
You're still a crazy girl! That just sounds like you and the fam--so much fun! I didn't know Alex was the rodeo-ing type. And, congrats to your sister; that's wonderful!
