ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW!!!

So I have been the worlds worst blogger lately! But a lot of new things have happened that i want to post about. First of all our trip to Texas and Arizona was really fun. We were gone for a whole month. Nate did really good at the rodeo's there. He won Scottsdale, won some at Tucson, and did really good at Houston. He won third. It was a fun time, Clint and Chelsey came to the ones in Arizona so we hung out with Austin there and Nate's parents came to those too. Nate's uncle lives in Arizona so we got to take a day and go visit him and his kids. It was a fun day and we were glad we got to see everyone. In Texas we hung out with a lot of our friends. Chris and Hallie Bradford, Blair and Tawna Burk, Clint and Robyn Robinson, and Ashley and Jake Hannum. It was fun. Great to enjoy the warm weather while it snowed at home!!! Any way on our way home we went to a rodeo in Laughlin Nevada which is about an hour and a half away from Las Vegas, so my whole family came and we all hung out with my brother Ben and his kids in Vegas for a few. That was really fun too. Next was the Dodge National Circut Finals Rodeo. It's the big shin dig in Pocatello. Nate has qualified for that rodeo for the past 8 or so years. That is tough to do because our circut is really tough. He won it in 2004. We were excited that he qualified again this year. So the first night he was kinda long... 11.4, then the next night he sped things up and was 7.8. His total time on two qualified him for the semi-finals. In the semi-finals he was 8.1, which advanced him to the final four.... where he was 8.7 and went on to win it!!!! YEAH!!! We were so excited!!! He won a pretty good chunk of change and a brand new Dodge Truck!!! It was awesome!!! He got a standing O from the crowd... which brought a tear to my eye! He did so good, we are so proud of him!!! It was cool because when he won it they handed him a red envelope that said DODGE on it and inside was a stack of papers with options for our new truck. We picked black with tan interior... and it's pretty much decked out inside... i will post pics when we get it. So all in all it has been an exciting few months!!!! (LIFE IS GOOD!!!!)
