Roping and Party time

12/23/2012

 
Well, I have to say That I have been kind of busy but having a blast.  First I got to rope in a roping called the Ultimate Calf Roping.  I placed 7th out of 40 Ropers.  I was one of 9 that tied down all three head.  No I didn't win any money but I am hapy with how I did.  I just plain out got beat.  Not because I couldn't rope but because those ropers were just better then me.  That is okay because I will get better.  
    While I was there Mike Johnson came over and needed help breaking in the calves for the Mike Johnson calf roping the next day.  So I went to help.  I got to tye down calves with Mike Johnson himself.  And then the next day I got to go to the Mike Johnson roping. I got to meet really good calf ropers like Tyson Durfy, Tuff Cooper, Ryan Jarrett and Cory Sullivan.  I think this has been the best Christmas ever so far.  
    Then today I had a friend come over and rope.  When we were done some others joined us and we pigged out of snacks, Made gramcracker houses and decorated christmas cookies.  As party favors I sent them each home with their houses they made, a small sack of candy and a Peanut butter hot chocolate cup.  I made the Hot chocolate cups myself.
