Weston Goes Mutton Busting

What a fun night we had last Saturday night.  My parents came in town for the night so they kept the younger two boys and Logan and I got to take Weston to a birthday party.  This wasn't any normal birthday party....we got to all go to Tejas Rodeo.  It was for Reid's 4th birthday.  All 4 of the boys that went got to go mutton busting.  It was quite a night!  Here's my little cowboy before we left.....loving his cowboy boots!!!(thanks mrs. laura)
I had never even heard about this place and it was less than 30 minutes from our house. 
First we all ate together and had some cupcakes for the birthday boy!
Then the four of them (Reid, Matthew, Eli and Weston) got all ready to go....
The cowboy walked them into the arena and suited them up in helmets and vests.  We got a good laugh watching them because they had to find a bigger helmet for Weston because his head is so big!! 
When they got all ready, the cowboy walked them out (all of them holding hands) and they started.  Weston got second place and he did great!  He got 76 points for his ride and the winner got 77 points after him.  He had a pretty good fall off the sheep.....kinda funny/sad to watch.  You can watch his ride by clicking on this link....http://youtu.be/Aox7HJf9hI4  He is the 2nd one to ride on the video.
Here's what he got for doing it.....he's pretty proud of this bandana!
We got to stay and watch more of the rodeo....the boys loved it.
He rode the mechanical bull too....this boy isn't scared of anything!!!
Fun Fun night!!  We're hoping he'll do it again sometime....maybe at the Boerne rodeo at the end of the summer.
