TyAnn's First Big Trip!

Every year Ben and I go out to Reno to work the Reno Rodeo Invitational Team Roping or as its known by the Perry roping. This year was no exception EXCEPT it was TyAnn's first big trip and she handled it like a pro. Security at the airports was no problem to her and hanging out at a team roping was A okay! I am so lucky to have such a great daughter!!!

TyAnn's First Flight

We had a blast at Reno, my dad and brother Jade came out and met us. I taught Jade a little of my black jack skills and well my dad got to babysit one of his favorite granddaughters. One quick funny story. As he was waiting on Jade and I the security gaurd came on told him he had to leave the casino floor because TyAnn was too young. My dad looked at him and asked him if he really thought she would pull the slot lever but then carried her on out. So TyAnn you were just 2 months old when you got kicked out of your first casino - LOL!

Getting ready for the PDL!

After an exciting BFI and Perry roping, Ben, TyAnn and I flew to SLC to then drive up to Rock Springs for my dad's USTRC roping. Lex, Lisa and their kids were there along with Pete, Pam and Andee. Andee was selling her puppies and sold three while she was there. The whole family had a blast as we got a motel with an indoor pool. TyAnn went on her first swim and absolutely loved the water. Tess and Brady were big hits too as they both had no fear of the water. It was a fun filled weekend and Ben and I were both sad to leave. Having TyAnn has made it even more fun to hang out with the fam!!
