The Rodeo

The blessed Famous Night Rodeo/parade/carnival came to town again!!!! I really do look forward to this every year! its  a fun tradition we have.. and to make it even better Penny and Calem came back from France just in time!!!! its been a long 10 months with out them here and we were so excited to see them and the soon to be new nephew Penny's got in her tummy (she didn't tell anyone, just came home with a belly) Kyli and Kenzi joined in the fun and hung out with us at the parade before they headed to the rodeo and Penny and i braved the Thursday night parade crowd with 3 little kids... Friday we went to the rodeo and were lucky enough to have Krista, Kyli, and Colton come to.

Dallins blessing

We were lucky enough to have my entire family up this past weekend and since that hasn't happened in 5 years we tried to cram as much as we could in the short time we were all together. we started off with family pictures and Added a every special double blessing of Dallin and Kase.
Ben and Derek did amazing and gave the boys the sweetest blessings. Both those boys are lucky to have the dads they do. we had lots of people come to support us ans share our special day and i can't thank them enough. We even had a few drive up from down south...

Dallin was a little stinker and cried through his whole blessing (flash back to Hadley:) but still the spirit was there. We even got to hear an amazing testimony from my brother in law brent... We have a great family

i slacked on pictures, i actually handed the camera to lisa so i could visit, i was so busy talking i didn't even get to eat any of our yummy food:(
