**COWBOY UP***

Last week we went to a Rodeo. The Idaho high school state finals rodeo. Where Brandon's cousin and Wesley's favorite person, Brennan. She did great by the way. Wes was asleep when we got there and took a while to wake him up. So I took him down to get some dinner and he saw a rubber band pistol. He said that would make him feel more happy so I bought it. We went back and enjoyed the rodeo. Wes love the goat tie and the barrel racing. Wes was getting wiggly by the end and wanted to go down to pet the bulls:) So Brandon took him down tried to meet up with Jeff Brandon's uncle, so they could go see the bulls. Well when they got down there happened to be a dress code to get past the fence. A cowboy dress code. Brandon had the boots but nothing else. He explained to Wes that they wouldn't let them past the fence because they weren't dressed like cowboys. And Wes turns to Brandon and says "But dad I have a gun?!?!"

Well This is what our day looked like yesterday. I had lost both my credit cards, I have lost my phone and my back up phone broke and then I went to go get gas in my car and my starter went out. I had a screaming baby in the back that was staving, I had Wes that was trying to "fix" the car. And me who was on the verge of tears. I had called everyone I knew and they were all at a dinner I was supposed to be at. Brandon was on a Hike up Adam's canyon in Fruit Heights. I was stuck. Wes had a great idea he said lets say a pray to have our car start. So he said a pray say " please bless our car to start and because it just won't because its broke." It didn't start...but it started to pour like mad, lightening and thunder. I had a prayer in my heart that the rain would force Brandon and the scouts off the mountain and it did not to long after B called. He had gotten back to the truck and saw my text messages. I burst into tears!! He was on his way, but it would still be another 30 minutes before he got there!! I got off the phone and was still upset and crying a little and Wes says "Mom don't cry. Bad things happen and good things happen, Bad things happen and then good things happen" He was so my good thing in the middle of the bad!! I love this little boy even though I loose patience with him a lot he is quite the opposite with me!! I could not ask for a better kiddo!! He is such a blessing in my life!
Love you bud!
