The boy has decided that he loves to have his picture taken -

CAN YOU SAY HAMMMMM?!?

The Last of Summer Days

Oh, floating the Salt river is so much fun!  Sandy called and invited us to go with them - and my kids were so very excited to go!  Gotta do a few more fun summer things!

What a great summer thing to do!  The only problem is we didn't do it enough!  It is such great fun - we shoulda been smart and floated many times this summer.  Ah well --- there's always next year . . .

Family Ride

Kelly and Rae decided it would be a great idea to have a little family outing and go on a family horseback ride before the summer ends.  Fun stuff!  Grandpa Barry helped out and we had a fun little ride last Monday night.  

Even baby Bran was up for the adventure!  We didn't go very long - so he managed just fine.

The rain clouds were building all evening as we were riding, and we were hoping to avoid being rained on.  No such luck! 

We ended up getting a bit (well, maybe a lot) wet by the end of our ride - but we did have much fun - and survived it after all.

Princess Reese

I forgot to post these pictures of Reese - the fill-in princess!

During fair week, there were a few times when Rae was competing in an event, and also had to be handing out ribbons -- doing her princess-ly duties!  Step in Reese!  Yahoo!  She was a wonderful fill-in princess! 

She had a great time handing out ribbons for Rae on a couple of occasions.  The only requirement for a substitute was that they had to be responsible and look the part.  Check, check!  Good job Cowgirl Reese!

COWBOY

So you know that the boy didn't get the idea for this outfit from his parents- 

You know who the culprit is --- right?

Of course you know!  Sheesh!  What can a mom do?

Cutie

I haven't posted nearly enough Baby Brannen pictures lately - so here goes!

He's cute cute - ya better believe it!

Cousin Fun

Rylee, Gavin and Chase came to stay with us a while back, while Clint and Allison had a little get away camp out with her family.  The  cousins had fun!  I think the highlight of their stay was spending the night at Grandpa and Grandma Fullmers in the BIG tent.  Barry and Kelly set it up for them and they had a blast sleeping in it.

Brady the Golfer

Look here!  A post about Brady!  Awesome!  See - he does live here!  And he GOLFS!  ALOT!  Just ask poor Jeffrey  :  ).  Jeff is always calling to hang out with Brady - and the boy is always on the course.  Brady will even golf by himself - that's how you know that he is golf obsessed like his dad.

Brady had a tournament here not too long ago,  I took a few pictures, much to his dismay!

What a nice looking swing!

Keeping it real

Bran took them all for a spin.

Give Bran a few more years, and he'll be right there with Brady and Kelly.  Good times.

Bear Lake!

Oh how we love bear lake summer fun with friends! 
It is the bomb!

Silly Taylor!  Sorry cross - eyed girl!   I had to use the pic where we could see everyone!

We don't get over there as much as we need to - but we all have such a great day!

Cokeville Parade

After some swimming, we headed to Logan where we had a fun night with Clint and Allison.  We went to dinner with them and kiddos played and played.  The next morning we picked up Rae and her friend Jessie bright and early from EFY (where they had, "like, the best week of my life!" Squeeel!!!) and headed home– –with a small stop in Cokeville to watch Rae wave from horseback in yet ANOTHER parade!  Yes, this girl's life is busy and that keeps us (and Grandpa Barry - thanks again Grandpa!) busy.

The very tired crew.  Ready to wave though!

This is Rae's friend Jessica, who she spent the week with at EFY.  Jess was a big help and babysitter as I ran around and tried to help Rae and her horse get ready.  Thank you, Jessica!!  There are lots of little pieces involved in putting a princess together!  Sheesh!

Wow!  The leader of the parade, in the tiny town of Cokeville, was none other than L. Tom Perry!  Neat -O!  I didn't even snap a picture until he had passed us.  I said, hey --- wasn't that ? ? ?  Cool!

So here she is in PINK!  Awesome huh!  The girls especially loved the pink wranglers.  Funky! Apparently you can ride a horse with your eyes closed!  Talent!

 Ya know, I'm getting kinda used to it.  I actually think they look cool.  Cowboy clothes and all.  Amazing!
Okay - this next picture is totally funny!  We had to go back to Cokeville that night for the Rodeo (ya, I told ya she kept us busy) and Kelly was the good dad helping Rae get ready.  I said, honey - turn for a picture and this is what I got ----

He he he!  He looks like Rae's personal stalker or something!!  Nice Kelly, real nice. The creepy Guy at the rodeo!  And let me tell you, the rodeo doesn't need one more creepy guy!!

That's better - what a pair.  Sure do love those two.  Fun weekend - and a busy one!  Summer is flying by!
