As promised, rodeo week! The week in between was spent racing about to school visits, radio interviews, and making sure everything was ready to roll. I was so incredibly excited to share my rodeo not only with Rachelle, whom I had watched be crowned, but also Miss Rodeo California, Rachel, who I traveled with earlier […]
It is May? Seriously I cannot believe it is May. I am officially no longer a rodeo queen. I’m what we affectionately call a has-been. But before I can get into that, I have to tell you about the last month! Following the wedding in true Reba style I managed to kill my truck, like […]
It is almost May… I can’t believe it’s almost May. So much has happened that I have forgotten half it. But let me tell you it’s been so worth it. We survived millions of ticket turn-ins, realized each and every one of these girls are my new family and traveled to several rodeos. One of […]
At Motherlode we have a very unique (ok yea like half what we do is weird and different) tradition. Coyote Sam and his band of bandits (read this as a bunch of the Posse guys dressed in costumes) hijack downtown, ride horses up the street with cars, shoot black powder guns and steal something that […]
With March the wintery weather does not seem to be leaving anytime soon. But that doesn’t stop this traveling gypsy. February brought yet another year at the Ripon Almond Blossom Parade.

This year I did something wild, wacky and different, I as the Mother Lode […]
For those not framiliar with the rodeo world, being a rodeo queen is an amazingly unique job in so many ways. One of the largest of these is the way that we compete; girls prepare for months and sometimes years, for a singular shot at a title. In many states pageants are few and far […]
With the Mother Lode Round-Up we have something that is kinda out in left field, maybe even down right crazy in the queen world, well all of the world honestly. We have a 3 month long contest. Yep you read that right, for 3 months a group of girls joins together for the singular purpose […]
Wow it has been pedal to the metal the past few months I realize that I haven’t updated my blog very much OK well maybe not at all. But here is my chance to redeem myself I hope y’all aren’t too mad at me or haven’t forgotten about me! After Grand National my schedule shifted […]
I have written and re written this blog post because Blogger keeps eating it, so I am literally the worst posting this so late. We just finished one of my favorite, yea I know I say that about them all! But pretty sure it is actually true, the big one the one that started it […]
