Family Pic

Macady got this crown from Miss Rodeo America Amanda Jenkins. It looks just like her crown. There was a photographer that was taking pictures for the convention and he took a zillion pictures of Macady, JT and Miss Rodeo America. 

JT on the bucking barrel at the Cowboy Christmas gift show in Las Vegas this last week. We spent the week in Las Vegas at the National Finals Rodeo. We also got to have dinner with Stan (from Geneva) and his wife and one of his son's while we were there. JT got to rub elbows with all of the big name bull riders, Billy Etbauer, Matt Shizowa, Judd Leffew, he saw Ty Murray and Jewell up close. The kids had a very busy week.  

This is JT with Judd Leffew. If anyone watches Cowboy U on CMT, this is the one and only Judd from that show. His dad was a world champion bull rider Gary Leffew. He really liked Macady but when we took this picture, she had just woke up from her nap (this is at 9:30 at night after the Rodeo). Judd talked to her earlier in the day and the gift show. The night before had thrown JT a t-shirt and told him to bring it back and he would sign it for him. JT is sitting on a mechanical bull that actually comes out of a gate and looks and acts amazingly real. He tried for about 10 minutes to get Macady to take a picture with him. 

JT and Macady with World Champion Bull Rider Matt Austin. Matt has to have surgery for some torn muscles in is abdomin. He tried riding the first two nights of the NFR, but had to pull out for the rest of the week. Matt remembered JT from SLC when he talked to him this summer.
