This summer has been superb with family gatherings at every turn. We enjoyed another great weekend of family fun over the 24th of July weekend, starting with a boot-stompin', yee-hawin' rodeo at the Days of 47 celebration. We met the Rose's and the Nate Lamb family downtown for a great night of wild-cow milking, buckin' broncos, roping, and of course, bull riding. Arden, Susan, and Emma (she was staying with us while Rob and Lisa were at Lake Powell) had a great time with the festivities and this hat made my whole night. She totally has the hair for a future rodeo queen, don't you think? She wouldn't even need the hairpiece.





Maddie to Nicole: "Isn't it crazy how much Arden and Susan just love me?" You are so cute Maddie.

The next night, we got to see everyone at a BBQ at Scott and Suzanne's and fireworks at Steve and Ali's - thanks guys for a yummy meal and fun night. We love our family!





The party continued with a day at the pool at Nate and Chelsea's condo in Park City. Thanks so much for inviting us guys - that is such a fun tradition.


Arden and Emma had a ball together all week. We loved having her here.

And here's one of the queen in her throne of course. She loved all the action.
