Pink Night

Friday night at the rodeo was "Pink Night." We all were tough enough to wear pink, even the clown! We went to the rodeo on Saturday night, but I didn't take a single picture. It rained and was so windy that I hid my camera bag underneath my chair. That is also where Preston spent most of his night (under the chair) he does not like the wind, (either does his lungs!) especially if it is mixed with hay and horse hair. Needless to say we paid the price the next week when his allergies were so bad we had to make a quick trip to instacare. I can now say he is no longer a weezer, at least for a little while.

First Grade Rodeo!

Last Friday all the First Grade Santa Clara Elementary students attended their Rodeo. It was great! I volunteered Gavin to go help with the Dummy Roping, and he was thrilled to help! ;o Landon really was happy we were there and that he could show off his roping skills! They also had a Grand Entry, Barrel Race and Bull Riding (on some of the Dad's backs.) Landon loves school and I think it is because the teachers are always going the extra mile. Can I get a, "Yee Haw" for the First Grade, it's the best!

Rodeo Time!


Roundup time, once again!
Thursday night at the rodeo was loads of fun! After I had my 15 seconds of fame, Preston got his too! He drew out to ride a sheep! He wasn't to sure about the whole idea of falling off the sheep once he was done riding it, but he decided to give it a try. Needless to say he ended up taking the sheep down with him, so it probably hurt even worse! After he got up he was spitting dirt and crying, but by the time he got back to his seat with the trophy he was a proud "Mutton Buster!" Come to find out, trophies heal!


Aubrey makes a pretty cute cowgirl don't you think?! The girl she is holding is dang cute too! ;0)



Stay tuned for Roundup day 2, coming soon.

15 Seconds of Fame


This year was the 75th Annual Dixie Roundup Rodeo. In honor of 75 years they had all past Roundup Queen's ride in the Grand Entry on Thursday night. It was fun to ride in the wagon with mom and to show off our Queen Wave one last time!

Sliderzz Scrimmage

After the reunion last Saturday we headed to Cedar for a baseball scrimmage against the Cedar Stix's. It was a perfect night for baseball. The weather was beautiful and the field was immaculate, and we won! Winning always makes for a great ride home! The only downfall of the night was literally a fall. Addie fell on the blacktop and cut her forehead, she ended up with a big goose egg too, but she survived! All in all it was a fun night, and we all can't wait for the next tournament this coming weekend.

Bowler Reunion


Ingredients to make a great family reunion:
  • Meet in Gunlock at the park.
  • Have LOTS of Good Food.
  • Must have a Fun Family!
  • Silent auction's are always an added bonus.
  • Have a chart of every family member. It is a great way for all to feel connected. :)
  • Keep things, short and sweet.
  • You will also need a few "visitor's." (Kind of like in Wedding Crashers, they will keep everybody on their toes!)

Thanks Josh and JC for being our "visitor's" we will adopt you as family anytime! Can't wait until the next Francis and Anne Bowler family reunion. It is always a treat to attend!

Can't be beat!

Mornings like this, can't be beat!
