Have I ever mentioned that David is really great at winning random stuff from the radio stations? Well, he is. A few weeks ago he snagged some tickets for the, you guessed it, rodeo! We actually kept the tickets and made a date night out of it (we've sold the other stuff on craigslist). It was the finals for the California Circuit. It took place at the Southpoint's super duper fancy "Indoor Equestrian Arena".
We stopped at Raising Canne's, David's absolute favorite (possibly more favorite than Arby's) fast-food joint, and then to the arena.
Our view:
The clown:
He was alright. His best act was the tractor/airplane/bull. He had contrapted a tractor to look like a plane, put a saddle at the end and drove around doing donuts, etc. while the rider in the saddle held on. It was fun to watch.
Our favorite events:
Steer Wrestling, Broncs, and Bulls
David got cowboy fever, aka wishing he was a real cowboy. (And okay, I did too. We frequently fantasize about dropping everything down here- school and work- and living up in Idaho or somewhere...)
Me [dreaming about not living in the city]
And for the finish:
This guy knocked his head with the bull's, went limp as a doll, and...you can watch.
or not. I've let this video try to upload for hours now with nothing to show for it. I give up.
And this concludes our January wrap-up. :D

How lucky is he? We love the rodeo and try to go once a year. Ash and Haele especially love the horses.
Dang...how does he always do that? Joseph and I would be completely happy if we won just once in our lifetime. Love the posts. Date of the month seems fun! We actually know a few of those people :) And Lydia...oh Lydia...she's beautiful. The name is precious. Are we getting to see you this weekend?
Okay. It's destiny. Andrew and David are meant to be BFFs. HAHAHA. Andrew LOVES that Raising Cane's place...and I mean LOVES it. He also thinks he is a cowboy and wears cowboy clothes as often as possible, or "western wear" as he likes to call it. And let's not even mention their obsession with hunting and weapons, haha.
This may be the beginning of a BEAUTIFUL friendship. ;]
Kayla, did you notice the cowboy boots David wore at the Date night??? hhahahaha.
And Feesh- yes... if you're going to Alexia's baptism you will! :)
