Brax the Cowboy

Ya know when people have so much pride for something they are said to bleed that color, for instance Brax's G-pa Terry bleeds blue for BYU...well I guess you could say Brax Bleeds mud and horse hair! This guy was born a cowboy! He has a passion for all things cowboy and my family is right there to egg him on. They make sure he's equipped with the clothes, bull riding magazines, the whole bit! Since they couldn't come to Braxton's first rodeo I told them I would post this. This is for all those who encourage Brax to be true to his cowboy self.

He has wanted to mutton bust (ride a sheep) for some time now and this year it was a Dream-Come-True, they drew his name out for the St. George Rodeo. This little cowboy was so excited he even used his Birthday money to buy a new cowboy shirt and belt buckle! So this is what 6 year old dreams are made of.



Here it is!!! The long awaited Mutton Bustin' video.



Brax scored an 88, the highest score of the night. And came away with only a few little scratches on the arm! Way to Go Brax. My sister was right, he's hooked (Next year he claims he's going one handed)!

Way to go Brax!!! I love it when he said "I am going to ride it until it is tired" You should be so proud, or I should say Randee should be so proud.

Seriously though were you scared to death to let him do this?? Paige wants to ride one so bad. Luckily she is still to little but I don't know what I will do when she is actually old enough to do it.

Tell him I am going to make him a pair of chaps, and a belt with his name on it.

Lindzee this is Kelli and Jeannie, tell Brax way to go, you are in big trouble, he has rodeo in his veins! You better start looking for a GEO Metro so he and all his bull riding buddies can go dwon the rodeo trail! Tell him good job! And good job on the video!

Can you believe I just cried a little bit like a proud mother--or something. I miss HIM! (and you, of course) I miss his little "hick"-man voice. What a stud. I think of you guys every time Max opens his mouth (which is a lot) because I used to get a kick out of some of the things Brax would say to me when he was 3 and 4-ish, and NOW Max says some of the same things. It makes me very nostalgic.
