Tonight Cooper got to do what he has looked forward to for a long time...Mutton Bust. He has talked about doing this for years. Last year was the first year he could have based on age, and he didn't get drawn(it is a lottery system). He was bummed! So luckily he got drawn this year. Tonight was his big night!

He was so excited to ride that sheep. We were so excited for him too. When we checked in, he was given the same number Colton got when he did this four years ago...#8. That was pretty cool.

Then Cody took him to his "holding area" and said he was so brave and excited when he left him there.(They make you leave them) Anyway, we were so nervous while we waited. Luckily, Cooper was the first one to ride. He did GREAT!! He stayed on the full 6 seconds and came off pretty smoothly. He smiled and waved and gave the rodeo clown five. He scored an 84 which is awesome!

He didn't win(it was tough night of competition)but each participant got a bag full of goodies including a hat, buckle and a trophy! He LOVES his trophy and is so proud of it!! We were so proud of our little cowboy!!

The performer after the rodeo was Terry Fator. He won America's Got Talent a few years back and is awesome! He is an impersonator/ventriloquist. Very impressive! The boys loved him and didn't want to leave. Frankly, I didn't either but we did have to leave before the performance ended because it was already 10:00--on a school night!
We had a such a great night. I am thinking I will let my boys sleep in and be a little late to school tomorrow. =) SO worth it!!!
