Ok, so the 24th of July was a few weeks ago...but I still wanted to post some pics of the family & the holidays. There are a lot of birthdays around the 24th, including John-o's, Ashley's, and Landino's! Oh, and Landon won the mutton busting competition at the big Fiesta Days Spanish Fork Rodeo! the trophy was almost as big as he is, and it had 3 sheep on top of it. The Rodeo Clown asked Landon (he is my 7 year old nephew) what he thought about winning the mutton bustin', to which he replied, "Um....uh.....I just always get the fastest sheep!" It was sooo funny, & the crowd really loved him. I think there was about 2-3,000 people there, and they rebroadcasted it on Spanish Fork TV a bunch of times. That was fun for him, he was like a rock star that night!
Ashley is my sis-in-law, and John-o is her husband (for those who don't know). They came out for the 24th from Tulsa, OK where John-o is in law school. It was fun to have them here and see their little girl Allison. She still knows that I am her favorite aunt! I was pretty excited about that! We also got to see Melissa & Clint's family, Mike & Brandi's family, and Brian & Chelsea & Brianna (who also knows that I am her favorite aunt). I have to start early to convince these little ones that I am their favorite. I don't think I got to Melissa's kids in time, but some of Mike's kids know, especially Kandalyn. Ha ha! I love being an aunt!
We also got to go to Park City for a night & tried to spend some time together as one big family. That was a good time, until we tried to eat dinner @ Ruby Tuesday's. The service was soooo bad, we waited for 1 1/2 hrs for our food! We got to spend some time at the outlet stores, and all that shopping helped me forget about the night before. =0)
Here are some pics of the nieces/nephews & some of the family...its not all inclusive and certainly not in any specific order.....Enjoy!
