4th of July Weekend

For the second year in a row we went out to Tabiona for the 4th of July weekend. We had so much fun last year we decided to try it again and this year we had just as much fun. We went out for the rodeo and jackpot team roping and camped right at the arena with a bunch of our friends.

It was a little weird not having Peyton there this year but I know she is having a lot of fun with my mom. We traded her for my brother which was nice to be able to spend some time with him. We didn't have Houston too much either since my Grandma Carolyn wanted to have him over for a sleepover and wanted him to play at her house.

While there Bradyn was entered in the team roping at the rodeo but wasn't up until the slack after the Friday night performance so it made for a late night. Saturday morning all the girls took all the kids to the parade in town then went back and watched the guys in the jackpot. That night we watched our friends in the rodeo, then after watched the town fireworks and lit some fireworks of our own. Houston was pretty scared of them at first but towards the end would just sit and say ewww after each one.

Last night we decided to light a few fireworks at home in our backyard to celebrate the 4th of July thinking that maybe Houston was used to them and wouldn't be so scared. Well wrong we were and here are the pictures to prove it:


He was trembling with fear right here


You can see the fear in his eyes in the one

He thought he was tough here after all the fireworks were dead on the ground
