Elise and Gabriel's Wedding

Happy couple! :-)

Awww...

Beautiful girls!

Just Havin' Fun

Bethany lost her hat and Cash is checking it out!

Photoshoot Fun

Have you ever tried riding sidesaddle in a roping saddle?

Astride is much better! :-)

Looks a little different on Western horse, but it's still cool!

Hughstons Cow Camp Rodeo

These last few got out of order, so just bear with me...

The bulls were moving fast enough that I didn't really get any good pictures.

This one was part Brahman, but he didn't seem too bad.

This is when it get dangerous - the clowns can't get between the bull and the thrown rider if the bull stays that close to the chute!

Saddle bronc rider getting thrown (that happened to most of them!)

Calf tying - those guys are fast! A lot of them had 16-17 second times!

Okay, this one should be right after the one before...

Calf roping - this looks like a lot of fun!

Another saddle bronc rider...

This was the first bronc and he was GORGEOUS!!!!!

After the rodeo, they let all the broncs out in the arena just loose and free. Tony immediately turned to me and said "No, you can't have one."!

My Adorable Niece!

Isn't she sweet?

It was really cool when I was holding her like this because I could feel my baby kicking against her!

Happy mom!

I can't wait - 5 months seems like soooo long!

Lots of Horse Pix

Asking him to jump...

He decides to go for it...

Nice one!

Bethany learning how to jump! If the picture wasn't quite so dark, you'd see that there is nothing but air between her and the horse - sure made for a cool pic though!

Essie was getting a little ornery so I straightened her out.

Much nicer! :-)

Bethany practicing her bareback riding... it's tougher than some of you would think!

Working on getting Cash to spin his hindquarters.

Asking...

I like this one.

You can see in this one how she's asking him to move over with her leg.

It took a bit to get him to cooperate

Seems like Cash is becoming Bethany's horse! Not that she minds at all:-)

A few pix from our ride along the river...

I'm hoping to get fall and winter pix of the same spot - if I remember...

Should I edit out the ears?
