Jayden and Makenna have been excitedly planning for the TMRA rodeo banquet in Dayton. Both girls got asked to go to a winter formal dance with a friend that just wanted to go as a fun group of girls. I was not big on the idea and told Jayden to get excited about the banquet and go all out for it. The banquet had awards, dinner, and dance. Makenna no longer has her serious boyfriend, which makes for a lot more fun friend times. Jayden and Makenna went shopping earlier to find cute outfits. Jayden spent the night at Makenna's so the girls could spend all day getting ready. To them it was like going to a cowboy prom. They primped and curled every inch of their hair and put on make-up, wore extra jewelry, the whole deal. Thankfully this only involved boots, belts, and jeans. The girls looked beautiful and my boys were dressed for the occasion too. The banquet was at 3:00 with dinner to follow. Mark came late in the evening for the dinner. He went to the funeral today to support the Sorenson family and the visitation. He wasn't looking forward to going to the banquet anyway. Jayden got some awards for 3rd in her division. The reserve champion gets a buckle and the champion gets a trophy saddle and buckle. There are 5 divisions for bulls and 5 divisions for barrels. That's a lot of awards!! The champions came down to dedication and whoever goes to all the rodeos wins. I call that a trailer race. Basically you can't miss a rodeo, It is a point system and missing one rodeo, you lose 10 points. It would take going and winning at 10 rodeos to get that back. Even a knocked barrel gets points. It's hard to keep up and I don't think it is worth revolving your life around.
The dinner was really good and the dance started by 6:30. The kids were the only ones dancing and really got into the fast songs. The Nae Nae song was the big hit. All the kids got out on the dance floor and knew the moves. Even Jake and Luke were getting into the song. Luke is really fun to watch, that boy can dance. He even danced with Peggy H. Most of the kids stood along the wall and the girls only danced with the little boys. Luke didn't mind that it was his birthday, in fact he thought it was pretty cool to go to a dance on his birthday. I think they all had a good time.
