Fiesta Days!!

This week was Fiesta Days in Spanish Fork and we had a ball! We started out at the Rodeo on Wednesday, just Steven and I. Then, on Thursday we went to the rodeo with his family. McClain loved it. She clapped along and danced to the music and loved seeing the horses. The next day was the parade, she also loved dancing to the music there. We took her to the carnival for a while. She and Steven went down the big slide and she laughed the whole way down. That night was the fireworks. She didn't like them, so her and I stayed inside and had a rootbeer float. On Saturday, we went back down the carnival and let her ride the big slide again. The guy there got such a kick out of her that he let her go down about 4 more times without tickets. Then, she rode the boats and the Merry-go-Round with her friend Taylee. Later that night we had tickets that Steven's dad had given us, so we went back to the rodeo. She didn't like it so much this time. They were really close to the chutes and I think it was just a little too much and she had already has a long day. So, Mac and I spent most the rodeo watching from under the bleachers!! It was fun though, and we're sad to see Fiesta Days go, but they'll be back next year and we'll be ready!!

Grandma's Party and the 4th of July!!

Recently we had a birthday party for my grandma who turned 80. We ate at the Maddox Lodge in Brigham City. It was fun to have everybody get together in honor of my grandma. I think she had fun seeing most of her family gathered together. It's been far too long. And, then for the 4th, we spent the day in Goshen at my parents house. My brother was up from St. George with his cute little family and my sister came with her family. The kids had fun running through the sprinklers and lighting sparklers. After dinner, we roasted marshmellows in my parents fire pit.
My giant family took up an entire room, and we weren't even all there!!
My mom's siblings and their spouses, and my grandma. Aren't my parents cute? (Lower left)
