4/3/16 The big rodeo shootout was today,
but first things first. We were hospitality for church today. We were up early
and to church by 9. After church we had quick sandwiches at home before
loading up to go to Des Moines. Today, unlike Friday was sunny and warm, high
of 72. The wind was really whipping, but the warm sunshine was wonderful.
Mawgee and Peepaw came to see Jadyen run. Karen and Orrie were going to watch a cattle show, if only Ace were a cow. Peepaw was so excited
for Jayden he wasn’t going to miss it. The boys went and found their cross
necklaces with Dad while Jayden got her horse ready. Luke has been on a mission
for over a month trying to find a certain cross necklace. The one he found, he
treasured! It even has beads made from deer antlers. He wore it with pride and
Jake got one too.
Jayden got her horse ready and waited to run. She doesn’t get nervous unlike myself. She was fourth to tun. The girls were running fast, so much faster. The first girl knocked a barrel, then the second, then the third. All the times were under 14.0. Jayden ran and knocked the second barrel with a time of 13.8. she lost her stirrup and said she couldn’t quit keep her balance. The shootout only placed 2nd so it was tough. It was just a hug achievement and honor to get to run today. We are so excited for Jadyen and her road ahead!
