24th of July

Rylee's buddy Lucas

Cohen and Maddie


Rylee's first time on a horse. She was nervous at first and thought the horse was going to "get me" but loved it after she got going.


My boys are over being led by someone. Ammon asked if he could ride by himself because he wanted to go faster.

In our church we celebrate the 24th of July. It's a day we remember the pioneers who forged their way to Utah through harsh conditions to be able to worship in peace instead of constant persecution. The Santa Rosa Stake (we are in Windsor this weekend) had a big Hoe Down in honor of that trek, the pioneers made. It was a very fun evening, especially for the kids. They had pony rides, a petting zoo, three-legged races, sack races, food, blackberry picking, a mini fair and also broke a Guinness Book record for the most people dancing in a dance called the Virgina Reel. It was great to see good friends and be outside in beautiful Sonoma County.

Oh how cute! What a fun day. I loved Cohen's long hair but he looks just as cute with his little mohawk! He looks like a different kid.

How fun. I love that the boys wanted to do it by them selves so they could go faster.
