Preston in the Taos Rodeo "Hide Slide" Competition

We went to the Taos Rodeo today and it wasn't much of a rodeo (the calf roping had one contestant as well as the steer wrestling) and we were longing for the days of the Oakley rodeo or the Lehi Round-Up; however, they had many activities for the kids. This activity was demonstrated by the clown riding on the cow hide at a much higher speed and he literally "ate dirt" around the barrel. Even after seeing that Preston wanted to give it a go. We didn't think they would let him do it, but sure enough he put on a bike helmet and went at it with no fear proudly wearing his Utah Jazz jersey like a true cowboy!

Way to go Preston!!! I think that you will really be ready for Wyoming and all the cowboys, etc that they have there. (Hope you don't need your dads "doctoring" abilities too soon! What fun!

I loved watching that. I haven't checked your blog for a while. All of your kids are getting so big. Especially Preston, he looks so grown up just without teeth. Miss you guys lots!
