My name is Keri Brooks and am 33, UGH.  I am married to Rookie and we have 2 daughters - Kylee (12) and Grayson aka Gracie (4 months)  We live in Stephenville have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 3 miniature donkeys and some goats.  My daughter does junior rodes and some barrel races.  My husband is retired from bullriding and bullfighting.  He does some roping but always makes comments that the rigging bag is so much easier to haul around than horses.  (if I attached the pictures right one is of Gracie and one is of Kylee and her friend after winning their buckles this summer.)  ok looks like I picked the wrong pic of Kylee.  Just her but still at the finals and carrying off some of her winnings.

My name is Leigh Williams and I live in Alvarado, Texas.  I will be married 11 years in December and I have 2 kids (boy/girl) 4 dogs, 1 cat, 1 miniature donkey, 5 horses, and goldfish.  I have pretty much rodeoed all of my life, mostly roped and tied goats.  We took on the project of adding on to our house this last year and it has been fun, challenging and a long process.  We have done most ourselves.  My husband can basically do anything so that has been nice.  I am fortunate enough to be able to work part-time for an attorney and I do social studies for adoptions on the side.  I attend the Cowboy Way Church and I feel blessed to live in the good ole USA.   <|:)

This cracks me up..you didn't even forget about the goldfish.... Thats Great
