Alpine Rodeo

Jared, Lori, Creed, Carson, Jill, Eric, Ayden, Allison and I all went to the Alpine Children's Rodeo on Friday night. Creed and Carson did some "mutton bustin" and "catch the chicken". Mutton bustin = a kid lays on the back of a sheep, holds onto the neck and the sheep takes off across the arena. The objective is to stay on as long as you can. Catch the chicken = all the kids in different age groups go out into the arena and they release several chickens, the kids run around trying to catch the chickens. If you catch it, you keep it. I think I would run Allison in the opposite direction.

Creed did really well in the mutton bustin. He held on really tight and made it half way across the arena but came in second. And Carson was scared of the chicken and then pouted that he didn't get it on the first try...too cute. But the family in front of us did catch a chicken and gave it to Creed and Carson, so the boys were happy about their PRIZE!

Here is Allison's first lollipop. She loved it and kept trying to steal the lollipop out of mine and Ivan's mouthes. Looks like we have a sweet lover in the making.

Also, this picture shows off one of Allison's many bruises. The crawling and furniture surfing is proving dangerous. She is never without a bruise on her head, our little white trash baby. Thankfully she is a tough cookie!
