Happy 4th

The weekend is only 1/2 over and we're already exhausted from the celebrating. We started off early Saturday morning with a parade in Liberty. Dylan was really excited because he got to ride a horse in it. (no pictures, my hands were full) From there we were off to Tooele to spend the day with cousins. I've decided that one of the advantages to having 2 kids is so you can dress them alike because it's so cute. But you will not find a picture of them together. A few families in their neighborhood rented an inflatable slide that was sheer chaos.DVS only felt brave enough to ride once most of the bigger kids went home.After that he was going down yelling, "rock and roll!"Once some of the kids started to get tired the grown ups had a turn. It was really fun if you jumped, then you bounced as you slid, hit your heels to end with a tumble and crash. My head was spinning for a while since I did that over and over. Tons of fun though. Not my kid but I really love Canyon's face in this one. I showed it to him, then he wanted me to take more of him, and had to check with me after every time he went down to see if I got a good one of him. I've got to put my favorite sis-in-law Melissa on here because she held my baby the whole time and she's super hot. You would all be so lucky to be related to someone so awesome.

Then time for the rodeo. To me a rodeo is about as American as it gets. I cry at the opening of every rodeo where they acknowledge all the armed forces and sing the national anthem. I wish I were awesome enough to compete in a rodeo(doing what, I don't know), but maybe I would just settle on being the girl that rides around with the flags. It's closer to my skill level. Evan and Whitney joined us for the rodeo. I would like to say we ended this crazy day with the beautiful sunset followed by fireworks.But no, we don't know when to quit. We went back to Matt and Melissa's to watch the UFC fights. Or at least the parts I could unglue my eyelids for. Happy Birthday America!
