Surprise!!!!

O.k., these photos aren't in any order ( i need some blog classes!!) but i need to tell you about our surprise this weekend. We went to a rodeo in Colville, Washington on friday the 20th. It was a night rodeo and was clear past Spokane. After it was done, well actually before it was over, we headed out to another rodeo in Prosser, Washington on the other side of the state. We pulled over in Ritzville around 1a.m. to get alittle sleep. We woke up and started to drive and had 2 flats on the horse trailer. Luckily Les Schwab was just opening in the tri-cities and got us in and on our way lickity-split! We made it just in time for the rodeo and the family who I knew was showing up. Mom & Dad, Annette, Micheal & Briana and Lee & Tracy were all planning to stay the night in Prosser and then head over to Toppinish on Sunday with us to watch Bobbie there as well. The surprise for us was that Auntie Susie and Auntie Betty were in the back seat too! They flew up to Seattle from California on Friday night to sit in the car and come all the way over to watch Bobbie rodeo! It was soooooo great that they could do that! We had all day Saturday to visit and watch the rodeo, when it was over we all headed to the hotel they were staying at and went for a refreshing swim. After cooling off, we all went into town and had pizza for dinner. Our friends the Trumble's joined us too. Their daughter rodeo-ed with Bobbie that day and is the same age as our girls. They had fun playing video games and talking while us adults sat and chit-chated.
Once again, not sure how to change this photo so it's the right direction, but loved it and had to put it in!!! On Sunday in Toppinish, it was tough enough to wear pink day. They do it to support Breast cancer awareness and do donations as well. It was great to see people in there pink stuff!!
Here is some of us trying to stay in the shade under the shade tent. We all would move as the sun did, but boy what a nice thing to have in the heat of the day!!
A picture of Bobbie running the barrels. She knocked this one down right after the photo was taken but had a great run. She did really well this weekend and we are still waiting to hear how her times held on Friday in Colville.

Thanks again to all the family who showed up and put up with the heat to spend the weekend with us. We love you all big and miss you already!!!!!
