Growing up to be a cowboy or cowgirl might not be a bad idea in this economy. In this case, being a rodeo star might even get you a college scholarship. The Rockin’ K Ranch in Charlotte, NC hosted the 2009 North Carolina High School Rodeo State Finals.

Lining up to take a turn in the ring.

I love how her hat is flying off her head and yet she keeps riding to rope the cow. Amazing!

I really wanted to take this goat home, but didn’t think our dogs would like her much.

All the horses were so beautiful.

I could not resist getting a puppy picture of this little girl. She loved the camera and belly rubs.

Overall, my first rodeo was a blast. Such a fun event to attend. Maybe next time we go, I”ll have a new pair of boots to show off.

The North Carolina High School Rodeo Association was formed in August 1986 to enable students from North Carolina to compete in rodeos in their state. The success of this association is evident, not only by the growth in membership, sponsors, and scholarships, but also by the achievements of many North Carolina contestants that have gone on to college and/or professional rodeo.

Last Saturday, my friend Kristin invited me over to check out her beautiful home on the lake and to meet her new additions. Needless to say, I was greeted by her family with open arms and maybe a little drool. Here’s a peek of Chase (the newest addition to the family), one of the many family dogs named Reese (like the candy) and even Kristin’s sister, Jessie who I have not seen since I babysat her millions of years ago (and who is graduating from high school this weekend). Enjoy a little hint of the fun we had and hopefully more pictures will be posted later this weekend. Congrats to Jessie on graduation, happy early birthday to Kristin, and fabulous Friday to everyone else.

Project HALO came out to Bark in The Park this past Sunday. Lots of cute barking pups and a little rain didn’t stop the Charlotte Knights from showing everyone how to play ball. More pictures coming soon.

Bella

May 3, 2009

A week ago, I was invited out to meet Tim and Andy’s new addition, Bella. When I first got to their home, Bella was napping and I was worried that she might sleep through our photo-shoot; I was so wrong. She was full of energy and loved the camera. Check out her baby-blue eyes and her super cute paws.
