Rodeo Houston 2012 & Jason Aldean

Rodeo Houston 2012

We actually made it; and to the end.  It's been hard getting Tynan to do anything; so I have to say that when he knew he'd be in the spotlight(in my eyes) at this Rodeo Performance he was not excited. However in the end, he got with the program and we had an amazing time. BIG Thanks to Maggie Mahoney Phillips for the amazing memories she was able to capture for us.  I hate to leave anyone out, and it's hard not to.  There are so many people that made rodeo possible for us I don't even know, or may not want to be in the public eye.  But you know who you are, so to everyone who pitched in, pulled strings, donated, drove the golf carts, and did whatever they could to give Tynan such an amazing experience, THANK YOU!!!!  .

Thank you Yaya and Kristi, you have both always made it BIG for Tynan. We Love You BOTH!!!

and personal meet these cowboys jumped out

of the way and Tynan just stood there.

Tynan rode 2 sheep on Wednesday night and was crowned the Kingwood Champion. He did so good for a first timer. The crowd was amazing, and he was just lovin' it.  Lastnigt he was up in Caldwell, and was pumped up and ready to go.  He got ready, got on, and then he turned out his sheep.  BUT, he got some new hardware, and some prize money.  He hung on to his money all night long.  It would have probably been easier for him if the weather would have been a little better, but he still enjoyed it. And was NOT ready to leave.

The cowboys were amazing. This was a group of well raised cowboys, and cowgirls. This is how everyday life should be. They were all there to compete against the livestock and help each other out, and cheer each other on.  Lastnight's rodeo was a TYRS Rodeo Event. Good Luck to all who competed lastnight that will return today.  Thank you all for making Tynan's night as perfect as he would allow.  For the experience he may not have had otherwise, for the prayers, and for your generosity. Anyone at the rodeo who knew about Tynan, had just heard of him within a week's time.  It still melts my heart to see so many people open their hearts to our family.  The donations that we have received are greatly appreciated and extremley generous.  God Bless each and every one of you.

A visit from Blake Dornak

Tynan's cowboy friend & PRCA Bareback rider, Blake Dornak, came to visit last night. As bas as his headache was, he smiled & gave him "five" when Blake gave Tynan this gift.

Thanks Blake for making MY cowboy smile through the pain!
