About this listen
My First Rodeo is a heartwarming collection of stories that reveal the ups, downs, and delights of being a family man, from a guy who never dreamed of being one.
Happily unmarried with no desire for a change in status, Stoney Stamper met a beautiful lady with two daughters and to his surprise fell head over boots in love. At the encouragement of family and friends, he decided to chronicle his new life and created the popular blog The Daddy Diaries.
My First Rodeo will inspire those just starting out with families to hang in there, they can do it. And for those well beyond the child-raising years, it will be a poignant reminder of the enduring goodness of family.

“What a tremendous collection of thoughts, lessons learned, and heartwarming stories about life and parenthood! Parents, grandparents, and even adolescent kiddos will find something in My First Rodeo just for them. For fathers in particular, Stoney brings a clever perspective on the trials, tribulations, and comedies of learning to be a modern-day dad. From life-changing stories that will water the eyes to laugh-out-loud adventures that will bring even more tears, Stoney’s first book is a great read!” (T. M. “Roe” Patterson, author of the book Crude Blessings and president and CEO of Basic Energy Services Inc.)
“From pineapple ‘I love yous’ to a map to heaven, My First Rodeo is a relatable book for dads or any parents doing their best in today’s complexity. A father of five myself, I place my title of Dad as my most sacred calling. Stoney gives insight into dad-hood in the best way possible: from the heart. Fatherhood is not biology; it is not words. It is actions. Three cheers for dads, and thank you, Stoney, for sharing your story!” (Shane D. Plummer, international horseman and an all-time leading breeder)
“Stoney Stamper not only makes me wish I’d grown up on a farm; he makes me want to grab each and every person in my family and give them a great big hug. With colorful stories that include finding love, raising stepdaughters, and saving chickens, each chapter will leave you with either a smile on your face or a tear in your eye. And I challenge you to finish the entire book without breaking into a full-on sob!” (Kellie Rasberry Evans, cohost of the Kidd Kraddick Morning Show and cohost of A Sandwich and Some Lovin’ podcast)
