24th of July Weekend

We had a busy 24th of July Weekend. On Friday we went to the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo. Kylie was riding in the grand entry and doing barrels. I would get a nice shot of the pole... ;)
The kids' favorite parts were the cotton candy, watching Kylie and the motorcycles at the end. We got the best seats in the house with the sun shining right in our face for the first hour in the blistering heat.

Aiden was mesmerized by all the horses at first, but the novelty wore off after a while.

Kylie made the Coca-Cola team for junior posse and competed in the barrels. I obviously need to work on my fast action shots. I blame it on the short lens... :)

On Sunday we celebrated Jeff's last birthday of his relative youth - 39. I sure hope he takes turning 40 better than he did 30. I remember him telling me, "I feel like the best years of my life are over." Especially heartwarming since we had only been married for 2 years and had basically just started our life together! He's such a sweet talker...

We had dinner at Jeff's parents' house. I love that Makele is in the background "helping" him blow out the candles.
On Monday we went to the 2 hour-long (emphasis on long) parade in Ogden.
Great. Just great. Aiden is becoming his older brother in pictures. Goofballs...
The kids were excited to see Kylie ride by (in the green in the middle).

We had a fun weekend and were glad that we got to spend it with family.
