What a weekend!

We had a crazy, busy, fun weekend!  We started out by going to the fair on Friday.  Brayden and Ellie have been talking about riding the sheep for weeks now!  Ellie said, "When I fall off I am going to get up and run and race the sheep!"  Finally, the day arrived!
                                              Brayden & Ellie excited for Mutton Bustin'!
                                                                 Ellie getting ready for her gear.
                                                          Brayden ready to ride!
Waiting and waiting!
                                                   Dad and Dani waiting in the stands.
                                                           Brayden's turn finally!
                                     He did well, but didn't hang on for the 6 seconds to qualify.
                                                              Ellie's up next.
                                      Hanging on for dear life, she clung on for quite a while...
then landed on her head.  It was sad, and she cried, but was ok quickly after.
 Saturday was every one's first game of the season.  Brayden is on a new team this year.  He was so proud that they chose his idea for a team name, "The Bombs."  I asked him why he had that idea and he said it was because they kick so hard, just like bombs.  All right then.
 He was even more excited when we found out that they get to be black, just like bombs!  It's a perfect world!
Ellie running and running

I am happy to say we had more team name suggestions at practice and the consensus was: "The Pups."  I love it, our little guys/girls are just like little puppies.  They did great today!  We may have even won, we don't keep score at this age, but I'm pretty sure we had the lead.
                                        Dani ready and waiting.....she did great!
 She wanted to play and she ran around that field with everyone else.  She was even SMILING!  Not sure if she ever touched the ball on the field, but she had some great free kicks.  Proud of that girl!
                                                      All of our little Pups!
                                   Austin, Emma, Ally, Ellie, Carson, Christy, Dani, & Heather
