Rosy's First Gig and Ruby's Roping

A week ago the newest performer of the clan had her first gig.  Actually, she had 2 gigs in one day.  Quite a workout for a 5 month old!

Brother, Ruby, Rosy, and I performed the mini version of the family trick roping act for the 89er celebration at a couple schools in Edmond.  The roping part was easy.....getting there was the tough part.  At least for me. 

My job wasn't only to perform, but I was responsible for getting the girls and myself there....ALONE....and in one piece!  It actually went ok.  I only got about a half a mile from the house when I realized I forgot Rosy's bottle.  That wasn't bad!  I was just glad I had both the girls' with me.

Rosy acted like she'd roped in front of  a crowd of  screaming 4th graders forever!  She just looked up and took it all in.   Ruby didn't do too bad either.  She's getting the hang of this roping thing.  Matter of fact, she's taken after her dad and decided to rope anything that moves.

I'll explain.

We were outside the other day just wandering around.  That's what we do in the afternoons.  She saw a big ol' black bug and mumbled something about catching the bug at least that's what I thought.  Sometimes I get the language wrong.  I told her we didn't need to catch the bug.  She had a stick and was swinging it up in the air.  I wasn't sure what she was doing.  Then I understood her when she said again, "I'm gonna rope the bug!"

I think we are in big trouble!!!
