Catch Up!!

I've been pretty bad about blogging lately, but I guess its cuz we've been so busy having fun and working. Quite a few weeks ago, Riley's family hosted the Wanlass family reunion. We had a blast, even though it rained and was cold the whole weekend. The reunion was at fish lake this year, and I enjoyed getting to know Riley's Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. That reunion was on a friday and saturday, and then on sunday, we had the Coates family reunion. That reunion was a blast as well. I got to meet all of Riley's family in one weekend.

A few weekends after the reunions was the 4th of July. This year was a little different, but I still had fun. Riley had to work and everyone in my family (except my sister) was at lake powell. So my sis Callie and I went to the parade and park alone. Fortunately Riley got off work that night so we were able to go to Salina's Rodeo. This year was my first year that I didn't compete in it since I was probably 10 years old. Its definitely alot more fun to compete than watch.

Then last weekend Riley's cousin Lindsey and I decided to play match maker and set her brother and sister up on a date with my brother and sister. Lindsey, her husband Weston, Me, Riley, Riley's brother Jeff, and our brothers and sisters all went on a quadrouple date to the Ute Stampede Rodeo. I was not really looking forward to going because I hate watching Rodeos that I'm not competing in. But I 2 minutes into the Rodeo I was having a blast. The clown was hilarious and had some amazing stunts (he jumped his motorcycle over a truck and horse trailer). A bunch of friends that I used to high school rodeo with were also competing that night so it was also fun to watch them. We all had a blast and I can't wait to go again next year!! Maybe someday they will make my event a pro event and I can compete there - ha ha (wishful thinking)!! I unfortunately forgot my camera, so I only have pics of the reunions and 4th. So here they are......


Getting ready to watch the fire works!!
