Kenzie as most of you know did the Butch Cassidy Days rodeo queen pageant this weekend.
She won in her the Jr. Rodeo Queen title. We started at 10 am with interviews. We watched the older girls do their modeling, speeches, and on stage question. That was all followed by a lunch, then we headed to get the horses ready for the patterns they had to do for the judges. Kenzie started getting a headache about then so we got some medicine and moved on with the day. By the time it was her turn to do her pattern her head had started hurting again, but she still did a great job smiling and everything. By the time we were ready to hear the winners it was all she could do to get on the horse and make it out there with a smile. She thought since her name was called last that she was the "4th attendent or something". Then she relized she had won and perked up a little. She smiled for 2 pictures with all the girls and then she was done she needed her bed and more medicine. I thought she was just tired and hot from the days activities, but I was wrong she spent that night on the couch and throwing up while mom slept on the floor it was great, not! Anyways she is better now and loving that she won. The girl in the picture with kenzie is kamrie. She has been teaching mckenzie how to barrel race and she is also brody's girlfriend. She tried out for the Miss Butch Cassidy Days and took 2nd attendent. She was up against some very hard girls.


Kenzie would let me take a picture of her on her horse so I had to sneek one of her and kamrie is right next to her. Kenzie is riding kamrie's horse apache. He is the nicest sweetest horse ever. After kenzie rode him in the pageant they had 3 offers to buy him. Kam says the only place he his going is to kenzie's house and we have just about convinced her(kenzie's) dad that is were he is going!!

Kenzie said that the judges said that she was the cutest in her group!

This is all the little girls in Kenzie's age group they are all so cute! They got buckles, crowns flowers, bridals and sashes. Kenzie can't wait to ride in all the parades and rodeos. Mom and Dad are just glad she can't run again next year. We get 2 years to recoop!

Here is our lovely home on the moutain. Two years ago we
bought this tent it has a wood burning stove inside and we
love it. I have never been so warm camping in my life.

The kids slept until about 8:30. Alan and I were up at 7.
He went for a horse ride and I enjoyed some peace and quiet.

We took the horse with us and the kids had a blast riding.
Brody has to be lead around still, kenzi can ride by herself.




The 4th of July was great we started with a parade and then went
camping. This is the Queen float kenzie was on. She wouldn't let
me take a picture of just her so here is the float. She is standing by the
older girls in back.


These are the cutest boys!!!
Carter, Brody, Cache

We had another busy weekend. Mckenzie was in her first rodeo as a
Barrel racer. She did really good. Brody rode a sheep and loved it and he also
caught a bunny. This is a picture of Kenzie, Brody and Kamri our friend from
Panguitch that is helping kenzie learn to do the barrels.
