The night of the 23rd Centerfield has a parade. Jake, JaKelle and Mattisen are waiting to see Jarrett come so they can get some more candy from him.

Grandma and JaKelle enjoying the rodeo. JaKelle had been eating a blue snow cone.

Jarrett is just happy that he didn't eat the dirt, grandma is trying to keep him out of the way of the sheep so he doesn't get run over.

Jake is so proud after his great sheep ride.

JaKelle is standing by the fence with her finger in her mouth trying to decide whether or not she is going to ride. As it turned out she did not ride and I don't blame her one bit.

Jake being so excited turned out to be scared to death when he finally got the chance to get on. But even though he was so scared he rode further than Jarrett and he was so proud of himself. Jarrett said that Jakes sheep wasn't as mean.

Jarrett was nervous to have to be weighed because he already had his spurs on and we didn't know if he would make weight with all of his heavy clothes on. But he barely made it the guy said so he was ready to ride.



Jake got on and of course made weight and was soooo excited to be able to ride.

Each kid has to step on a scale to see if they make weight. They have to be 50lbs or less. JaKelle got on but wasn't to sure about riding.




The kids are so excited about getting on a sheep this year they are standing by the fence waiting their turn.

We are on our way into the Scipio rodeo. The boys are prepared to ride a sheep.
