Rodeo Weekend

This weekend was alot of fun. It was the "Little Buckaroo Rodeo" Weekend and we Loved it. We were lucky enough to also have Tate's sister Shanna and family to join us for the weekend and we had alot of fun. Friday night we took them on the tour of Hitt street and the Mall before the rodeo:) We got home and had dinner then got ready for the rodeo. Kasen did the ribbon pull and his cousin Hannah did the goat rope. Friday night was suppose to be the low key not so busy night, but it was still pretty much packed in their little arena. Saturday morning we went to the parade and got a nice haul of candy and then took a nice drive up the mountain to the lodge to show Kory and Shanna where Tate will be living the next 3 months:) It was fun to show them around and have them see why Tate loves it so much. I unfortunately got car sick on the way up, I think it was a mixture of sitting in the back being bounced around, Kasen and Hannah arguring, and watching Spongebob Squarepants!! So I was wasn't much fun for a few hours but snapped right out of it as soon as I could! I have gotten car sick maybe 3 times including Saturday so it was a bit wierd! Anyway, we saw a few elk and that is always fun to see when you go up to the lodge! Came home and waited for the husbands to make us dinner, of yummy Cafe Rio, so Shanna and I just visited while we waited for them to get back from the store:) It is always fun to visit with Shanna and Kory we sure do love those guys! It was a fun filled weekend. Now it's nice to be home relaxing enjoying Sunday. WE also had to give talks today in church, which I am glad is over with.

Oh...it must have slipped my mind that Tate got his elk mounted and that he put it on our wall in our living room. Look how happy they are....It's hard to complain about something that makes those boys so giddy and happy.

Kasen had to run up to the goat and pull one of the ribbons off of it...then run to the clown where he was reward a tootsie roll. He didn't dare reach down and pull it off, so after Tate pulled it off, Kasen took off and ran really good to the clown.

When we were at Tate's house last weekend, we brought home his old belt that he use to wear when he was a tiny tot!!! It's the cutest little thing in the whole world. Kasen got a belt buckle for participating in the rodeo so he got to wear his new belt and his new belt buckle and was in 7th heaven all night. He loved watching the sheep riding and now pretends to ride the totes (sheep) and gets bucked off quite alot!

Waiting at the parade...I didn't get any good shots of Kasen getting the candy and let's be honest, I was more excited about it all than I think he was..I finally calmed down after Tate told me too relax, which hurt my pride only for a second, but it was probably for the best.

And me 30 weeks pregnant! Whew...I sure have grown!
