Spanish Fork Rodeo

We had a great 24th of July this year. We just kinda hung out in the morning and did stuff around the house, and then my mom and dad came over and we all had a b.b.q. The food was absolutely delicious. Steak, ribs, grilled zucchini, salad, and Reeses peanut butter chocolate cookies that I made. We ate a ton, and were ready to head over to the rodeo. We had so much fun at the rodeo. It was super super windy and rained a little at the beginning, but once that blew over, it was perfect. Summer nights in Utah are one of my favorite things.

Here are Nic and I with the arena behind us. Little story....our seats were on the very top bleacher. I grabbed my phone, sent a text, and as I went to put my phone back in the diaper bag, I missed the pocket and it fell all the way to the ground. I was not a happy camper at that moment. Oh well right. What do you do?!? So I was without a phone for a little while, but my husband, being the handy man that he is, fixed it last night. YAY!!! I was so happy. I feel like I'm disconnected from the world without my phone. HAHA! And that's my story.
Here's Daddy and Nixon. SO cute!!!

And mommy and Nixon. I have no idea why he has his mouth open in both of these pictures. HAHA!! He's a crazy little boy.




Ok so these two pictures are of the entertainment they had in between events. This guy came riding out on these two oxen. It was amazing. We have never seen anything like it. He had them totally trained. He did this whole skit on the oxen and pioneers and it was so fitting for that day. It was truly amazing. He had these HUGE oxen standing on little platforms, laying down and playing dead, crawling on their knees and jumping through rings of fire. It was really really cool.

Here we are again. I was looking at all my pictures and decided that we don't take very many of the two of us. HAHA. So I'm trying to be better at that.

Grandma with Nixon. She absolutely LOVES to hold and cuddle with him. And check out the huge, pretty blue eyes. I LOVE them!!!
And my dad and Nic.
It was such a fun day. We had great company, good food, and fun entertainment. Thank you mom and dad for such a fun day. Love you guys!!
