Big Ole Buckles

Nothing better to a young cowboy than a shiny brass belt buckle that he earned.


Last night was our youth rodeo's awards banquet.
Jonah won Reserve Champion for Chute Dogging.


WooHoo!  Way to wrestle those calves.


And Jared made Finalist.


Plus Jared was surprised to recieve a special award of sportsmanship!  This one was in honor of a girl that lost her life in a rodeo accident years ago.  She always had a good attitude even if she lost and always cheered on her competitors.  This year the award was given to our little guy.



Those are big ole buckles!
Good job, guys.

  5. Homeschool,
    Yes, just like any sport, accidents happen. This girl wasn't competing in a rodeo event at the time but was run over by horse. Terrible. Her family puts on a huge Memorial Rodeo in her honor every year where all the money goes to a Christian rodeo camp. Through it kid's learn they can be tough cowboys while tenderly loving Jesus.
