No mutton bustin for Jaycie

Today was another adventure in the world of junior rodeo. Jim left at about 7:30 this morning so that we could be sure to get Jaycie signed up to mutton bust today, she talked about it all the way to town, but when it came to getting on one of those woolly beasts she wouldn't do it. I tried bribing her with bubble gum and a root beer but she still wouldn't do it. They were giving out $2 bills as prizes and she still got one of those. I wouldn't get her the other things we offered as a bribe and were rewarded for it by a mini melt down, then she realized she was going to get to chase a chicken and all was forgotten.

We then went to the in-laws and ran through sprinklers and slid down water slides. Saree had a run-in with a wasp and has a couple of swollen fingers. She's a tough little nut though because she just wimpered and said owee, not the full blown screams of torture that her sister has given for the same wound.

Bribe your child!!! And, all to ride a silly sheep. Yeah who am I kidding I would have done the same thing just to get a picture of it! Tell her that her favorite aunt (that would be me) wants to see a picture of her riding a sheep.

Have fun in NV
Love,
