First Rodeo QUEEN Contest of the Year

Look at this beautiful girl and dress
There are over 7,000 crystals sewn onto the leather and around the embroidery.  This is the most amazing dress.  
Waiting for Kenz in the hall while she did the interviews

Little Paisley was an angel.....she even slept through over a hundred steers being herded into the arena during the modeling competition
Margaret is sitting in the middle of Mindy and her mother-in-law, Gloria.  Margaret is the owner of Al, the horse Kenzie rides.  Margaret came all the way from Fort Worth, Texas to watch Kenz!  She is such a nice and giving friend of the family.
Jocey, Mindy, Laurel, Paisley and Grandma Char (hugging the carved eagle statue)
Dylan and Jocelyn ALWAYS have a blast together
Jocey stole Dylan's "skater" hat and I thought she looked extremely cute in it
Ash could barely get this huge sandwich in her mouth....she gave it a good try
We all had knotted stomachs as we watched and cheered dear MaKenzie on during her first Queen contest She did amazing and we are always so impressed with her poise and confidence, whether she is modeling, speaking, or riding her wonderful horse, Al.  The punch to the stomach was her losing queen by 1 point in one contest and 2 points in the other contest......that is so hard to take.  She was definitely the best at the contest as illustrated by her winning so many individual categories.  Congrats to Kenzie!  We are so proud of you.

You have such cute grandchildren. I'm sure they just love you! My mom said you couldn't look at our blog anymore because we put it to private, if you want to check it out send me your email at mokaifish@gmail.com and I'll send you an invite. I saw Laurel at church a couple weeks ago and her little girl is so tiny and darling. My little guy is about 2 weeks younger, but looks 2 months bigger! Glad you are having fun with your family.
