I caught the twins and told Randy James to put his boots on. "Come on your going to be late for mutton busting." I told him. He pulled his boots on. "Can you walk your sister out to the truck while I wrangle Dallas into his jeans and boots?" I asked my six year old boy.

"Where's dad?" He asked. "Going to get Bella. He'll meet us there." I told him. He nodded and took Alaina's hand. Then led her outside. I grabbed Dallas and pulled his jeans off his head and stuck them on his hide before fasting his belt. "Dallas Cole Mauney you take this belt off and I'm going to wear you out with it." I told him.

I just grabbed his boots and hauled him out the door. Then buckled him into his car seat. "R.J you make sure your brother doesn't escape." I told him. He nodded and rebuckled Dallas.

Once we got to the fair and rodeo grounds J.B was already waiting. "Mom he took his seat belt and belt off." R.J said from the back seat. "James he's your child now." I told J.B as I got out. "Now he's taking his jeans off." R.J said.

"Yeah our youngest son doesn't like jeans today." I said helping Alaina out of the backseat. J.B went around to take control of the other three year old. R.J immediately held his sister's hand.

"You little rascal." "James Burton you were the same way when you were his age. Never wanted to wear pants." His mom said coming up. "How did you manage to make me keep mine on?" J.B asked his mom.

His dad came up with a package of zip ties. "Use one of these. If he has go to the bathroom cut it off and when he's done rezip tie it." His dad told him. "I'm not using one of those on him!" J.B said.

I grabbed one and stuck it through one of his belt loops and a punctured hole for the buckle. Then zipped it. He then tried to push them down getting aggravated.

I picked him up and carried him. "I'll take Alaina so J.B can help R.J." His mom said. "I don't think R.J is ready to let you." I said giggling. Dallas kicked and squirmed. I readjusted him. "You little turd." I said. "He's acting just like J.B did when he was three." His dad told me. "R.J never acted like this."

"I know he didn't." He said. We were up by the side watching as R.J got ready to go. For the past two years we've let him do this and he absolutely loves it. "I think we've got a J.B Mauney junior on our hands." I said.

"I think so too."
