Muttin Bustin Cowgirl!!





Here in Spanish Fork, the 24th of July is big. Good old Fiesta day. We have Rodeos, carnivals and of course the parade. We love the rodeo and try to go every year. This year Lauren decided she wanted to Muttin Bust. We bought her a cute pink cowboy hat, put her in her boots and she was ready to go. We got to the rodeo and she was excited, and then they called her to go get ready. Jeff said when she saw the sheep her heart was beating out of her chest. She got on the sheep and of course was only for about 3 seconds. When she fell off she actually plugged her nose thinking she was falling into water. She did so good and said she wanted to do it again next year. We had a great week. We love fiesta days.

Jeff and I are off to girls camp and scout camp. The kids are getting sent to gramps and grams in Rexburg. They are life savers. Aunt Michelle even volunteered to take them to there. Bless her heart.

Happy 4th !!!!!!!



We had a terrific 4th of July. We headed to Rexburg to spend it with my family. Everyone was able to come, but Meg and Joe. We sure did miss them. We took the kids to the good old Rexburg Parade. We had great seats thanks to Grandpa Cheney. The kids were loaded up with candy and I think Caden was on a sugar high before the parade was even over. After the parade we went back to the house for a good old BBQ. Mike cooked the best stakes, and the food my mom and dad make are always the best. We played human battleship with water balloons and it was a blast. Of course we had to play backyard baseball and it is always a classic. We decided to stay home and do our own fireworks show and it was fantastic. THe boys thought they were twelve again and lit of all sorts of fireworks. Big and Small. It was a great fourth of July.

Saturday we just relaxed. It was heaven. We were able to help my mom make Olivias blanket. It was definetly made with love. The boys went golfing and then we took the kids to Kung Foo Panda. Super cute show. That night we cooked hot dogs and smores over the fire and put the kids to bed early. We got to sit around and play games and eat party mix. It was a great weekend. Thanks mom and dad for letting us come home.
