Our Little Rodeo Queen





Well it's official Tatum has now gone country. Linda signed Tatum and her cousin Ellie up for the Muttin' Bustin' contest at the War Bonnet Roundup, and Tatum loved it.
We really thought she would chicken out once she saw all the other kids being thrown off, so Court told her that if she just tried it he would let her pick out any toy that she wanted. Apparently that was enough motivation for her because not only did she try it but she got 2nd place.


She held on to first place for a long time until the kid that got first ran into a fence and still hung on. He beat her by 2 points, Court thought the judges just didn't want to give a "Red Rider
Beebe Gun" to a girl. She'd probably shoot her eye out



You should have seen her eyes when they brought out her trophy that stood about 3 inches taller than her and to make things even better it was pink.
She is totally pumped for next year.







Way to Go Tatum, we are so proud of you!
