4th of July

My favorite holiday is always the 4th of July because I am a big fan of traditions and I love our tradition on the 4th! This was the first year without Matt and his family and our friends the Verno's so it was a little different but still really fun. I absolutely love rodeos, parades, the kids rodeo, and hanging out at the cabin four wheeling.

Ready for the rodeo night 1

I can't believe how big Nixon is getting! Mom and Landon
The first rodeo we went with my aunt Janeal and her family.

My cousin Ariel parked her car in this field and after the rodeo we were debating if she was going to be stuck. Sure enough she was so her two brothers went and were pushing the car while mud was covering them. Come to find out her emergency break was on the whole time haha.

The Oakley parade with my dad's brother Roland and his wife and my cousin Katie and her kids.

My patriotic glitter toes

I love the Oakley parade because not only do they throw out candy but they hand out pizza, drinks, frisbees, toothbrushes, water bottles, popcorn, etc. I also love it because we were in it most years when we were younger and can't wait for the nephews and neice to be in it in a couple years.

The pooper scoopers

This girl had a pet pig.. her lucky mom

The kids rodeo

Chasing the chickens while Erin is praying her kids don't get one.

The rest of the pictures are on my moms camera so they will be coming later :)

Drew's cousin Austin had his mission farewell in Jerome so we headed up to Idaho for the weekend back in June. On the way home we stopped by Shoshone falls.

At Landon's baseball game hanging out with Brynley.

Trip to Arizona/ Matt's Graduation

My brother was graduating from Midwestern University in Arizona. He told us he was speaking and when we asked why he said he didn't know. He was keeping the big secret that he was graduating first in his class from medical school! When my dad spilled the secret we decided we couldn't miss it. Erin and I decided we wanted to surprise him so before he left Utah we both told him we were really sorry we couldn't make it. Drew and I drove down to Phoenix with Erin and Jason and got there at about 11pm. We went to surprise Matt while he was sleeping but he told us his figured we were coming the whole time. So much for the surprise at least we tried. After surprising him we went over to Apple Bees then to the hotel. Matt gave a perfect talk during graduation and we all went to Olive Garden after. From Olive Garden we drove home.. it was a ton of driving but so worth it and fun to say goodbye for a second time. His family is now moved to PA and I'm excited I get to visit next week!

Brayden digging for gold haha

Matt giving his speech. So proud to call him my brother! I am forsure missing

him and his family already.

Love his cute boys!

I'm sure my dad is going to miss seeing Matt's family all the time. He had bussiness customers in Arizona so he flew probably once a month and drove Matt's family back and forth countless times. My parents are always our biggest fans.
