Home for the Holidays!!

Hey guys, we are home from Vegas and it's been soo nice...even if my house looks like a disaster zone. We are pretty much buried to our necks in laundry!! And with Chirstmas just around the corner I've been busy finishing up my shopping and wrapping presents so the house is definitly getting the short end of the stick. We had our first Christmas of the season Saturday with the Nunn's. It was in OKC at Connie's and was a blast as always. The kids especially had a great time, as Santa made an apperance and we got to go Snow tubing at Bricktown. We thought we might have been in a bind when we waited in line for 30 minutes and got to the top and found out that Houston had to go down by himself in his own tube. He was a champ though and decided he'd try it out. His face was so funny coming down, he looked scared to death and mad at us for making him do it but when he got to the bottom he screamed "Let's do it again!!" So off we went to do it again...and again haha. After that we went and had supper with my parents and so Houston could spend a little time with "his" puppies. Our male aussie and my parents female had puppies about 4 weeks ago and Houston missed them pretty bad while we were in Vegas. He drug them out as soon as we got there and showed them a little TLC. He's named 3 of the 5, Blackie, Pecos and Wrinkles. Ah so fun. Anyway tomorrow starts Christmas week and it will be pretty busy for us. We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas from Hunter, Houston and I. Remember Jesus is the Reason for the Season.. :) Love yall

Hello SouthPoint..

Hey everyone...We finally got to go to the Buckle Ceremony last night. Hunter was 7.1 and slpit the round with Cody Ohl. It was such an awesome night. Its been a pretty long week for us, as Hunter has been struggling to pull out a win. God is good though, all the time, and he knew before it ever started this would happen. We are so thankful to him and to all of you guys. Thanks for the prayers and support!! Yesterday was also Tough Enough to Wear Pink night and we were thinking of all our family and friends that have either went through Cancer or known someone who has. We were especially thinking of our good friend Diane Day who always comes out the first weekend to watch and who couldn't come this year. D you are one strong lady and we missed ya!!

Anyway Houston, Al and I are about to go to the Shark Aquarium over at Mandalay Bay. It should be another fun day here in Las Vegas. We have to try and squeeze in the lion exhibit over here at the Mirage for Al too. Hope we have more good news tonight. Miss and Love yall

Hunter is talking it over with Randy

Up on stage

Here they are watching the rodeo play back on tv, the calf roping is on and they are discussing what happened. We again got kicked out of this spot by security, i think they were scared H might order a cold one and hit a jackpot.

Day 4 here in Las Vegas

Hey guys, we kicked off the day at Elevation Sunday this morning. It was amaazing. The turn out was really something. Stran Smith and David Key gave their testimony and it was quite emotional. God was really working this morning and I know it lifted my spirits!! Hunter hasn't placed yet heading into today but I'm sure things are going to turn around for us. God works in mysterious ways. On the other hand, our good friends Clint and Robyn Robinson are kicking butt. Clint won the round last night and is only a few thousand behind Trevor now. Thanks for all the prayers and support guys! We really are thankful to have so many great family, friends and fans!!! Hope everyone at home is good, we miss yall!!

Keep Emma Swanda in your prayers, she is my sisters bestfriend's cousin and is at Childerens Hospital trying to get some things figured out.

Hey Guys, we are having lots of fun out here in Vegas and wishing everyone could be here with us! Hunter didn't place last night but it wasn't to bad overall. Trevor went out of the average which is good for us, but with 9 rounds left anything can happen. Houston was tired by the time the rodeo started, he fell asleep during the bull doggin and missed his daddy roping, so im in the process of getting him down for a nap as we speak. It's not going so great at the moment haha!! Anyway tomorrow Hunter is competing in the Celebrity Bowling Tournament for Charity so I'll post lots more pics then. Hopefully Hunter wins the round tonight so i can post Southpoint Pics :)

Until then, we love and miss yall!!!

Let the Festivities Begin...

Hey guys, we are just 24 hours away from Round 1 of the NFR!!! It's about to get exciting. Houston, my mom and grammy made it to Vegas about 4 and it was soo good to see my little man. We've really missed him but are thankful he gets the chance to fly, 2 hours is way better than 18!! He's been a wild man so far, and lovin that he gets to stay in the Hotel! We took him down to Freemont Street tonight. I've never been down there either, and the light show is by far one of the coolest things out here. Unfortunatly Houston fell asleep before it started. He's still runnin on Oklahoma time. Stayed tuned in...hopefully i have awesome news tomorrow!!
