MUTTON BUSTIN'!!!

There he goes, folks!!


Uh oh, it appears he is leaning to the left a bit...will he hold on?


Still leaning, but still holding on!!


He made it all the way!! (Psst...the spectators in the lower right corner of all of these pictures are worth noting.  Imagine the whole arena cheering like that for my boy and that's what it was like)  :)






And this would be the last picture I took...the sheep kept running...my baby finally let go, rolling under the sheep, and he ran right over him.  So of course, I dropped my camera, jumped up and gasped!  I don't know what I was going to do...fly over the people to get down to my baby?  Possibly.


But he got up...and he walked VERY slowly alllll the way back to the announcer.  The whole time I'm thinking...he's walking pretty slow...he's hurt, he's hurt!  I know he's hurt!


But he wasn't.  He just had a boot full of dirt!  :)


He not only won the mutton bustin' in front of about 12,000 people...he was interviewed in front of them too.

Of course he did.  This is Oh-ie!!  Remember??  :)
