Ute Stampede 2013

Kensie prepping for her "sell"... it started rain cats and dogs shortly after this.
The highlight of our Summer is always the Ute Stampede!  We love it and enjoy going every night and try to attend all the festivities.  Kensie has begged me all summer to let her have a "Sell" at the end of our street, but I don't feel good about her being out there by herself and with me being 6 months pregnant I haven't been in the mood to sit in the sun all day hoping someone would stop for a Otterpop.  I finally told her that we would do her sell during the parade assuming it would be 120 degrees, but unfortunately it was cold and rainy and so we didn't take them with us.  Our ward was scheduled to work the snack shack on Thursday so my Parents took the kids the first night.


We were lucky enough for Eric, Jen, and their kids to join us on Friday night!

The Red heads bonded during the Rodeo.

The six kids....yes Casey is considered a child!

It was so fun having the twins there!  Trip loved the rodeo and was laugh and clap at all the events, Krew on the other hand got really upset during the tie down roping and started crying when the calf was caught.  Eric insisted Jen let him hold Krew so he could "Cowboy up"!  We love the Taylor family and hope this tradition continues with them!
























I've said before that Kensie is my dare devil child and she proved it once more when she begged to go on the Ferris Wheel.  Luckily Jen was willing to take her since her parents are terrified of this ride!  You can tell by the smile on her face that she loved every minute.
