Outlaw Day Arena Events

The little kids got in lots of stick horse rides, roping, and goat tying.

Claire was determined to ride a calf this year.  She was all suited up and ready but the calves were a no show so she didn’t get her chance.  Hopefully she will change her mind about trying next year, I hope.

I kept the sunscreen on everyone and was so worried watching this red face get more and more red.

He would not stop though, so he ran, and I chased.  Thankfully it was just a hot red face.  When we got home and cooled off he wasn’t sunburned at all.  Just so busy!

Ryan and Aaron got to rope together in the alumni team roping.  It didn’t go to well.  Ryan missed.

Emma getting ready for the hide race with Uncle Aaron’s help.

At the end of the day, hot, dirty, tired, and checking out the parade candy loot!  It was another successful Outlaw Day!

Outlaw Days Parade!

We always have a lovely short parade at Outlaw Days, so to make it longer, the whole thing makes a loop and comes back by again.  We love it!  It is a fun tradition in our little town!

We were there bright and early to catch some candy and see some horses and big truck trucks!

We came across a few friends to sit by too.

I always love the old cowboys bring down the flag first.

This man might be the oldest Resident of Richfield right now.

Here come the cheerleaders!

They were trying to make money selling cheese at the same time!  Multi taskers!

She just may be the cutest cheerleader EVER!

Wendell Johnson was there.

And Brother King, probably  the next oldest resident!

Summer Is Here!

We have been going and going, we aren’t going to let one summery day by with out living it to the fullest! 

Ashley and I got home from Yellowstone a few weeks ago, we had a blast!  I cant wait to go again with Emma, and then Justin, Claire, and then Rett!  It is a fantastic trip I’m glad our sixth grade teacher is willing to put it on for us!

Since then we have been enjoying our good weather.  I hope it sticks around!  The kids have already been sleeping outside.  We have been keeping the pipe moved and Ryan brought some cows over to munch it down.  They were getting a little to close to the sandbox for Rett!  The boys are in the sandbox from morning till night….. even after jammie time!

Ash has been busy with cheer, she has spent some time this week at a stunt camp.  It has been quite awesome, and eye opening for me. (and her)

We have also been running the girls to piano, and the boys went to story hour.  Rett LOVED the theme this time! 

Ryan has been around lately, which we love, we went out twice in one week!  It was great!  We went down to Western Days in Twin Falls and ran into this big fella.

We are so glad summer is here.  I would like to catch up the blog, but not sure its going to happen, maybe if it rains…..   But for now we are off to the pool!

Sunday Shots: Ryan’s Birthday

Ryan wanted his birthday to be celebrated in true Telford fashion,  which includes, spin the bottle, hand stands, donkey kicks, push ups, and lots of other crazy tumbling skills.   (that we don’t really posses)

The girls tried and tried, and have still been trying for weeks to get this handstand thing down.

 

Ryan won that competition by a long ways, he’s still got it!

Claire was super helper with the presents.

Heavy, heavy, hangover.

Emma still trying…..

 

Chocolates!

A spotting scope.

And partially eaten/destroyed birthday cake!

I wonder who the guilty party could be????

Ryan insists that I cant buy the kids “big things” like bikes unless its Christmas or their birthday.  Claire’s hand me down was not going to work for the summer so I thought we could get her a bike for Ryan’s birthday??!  I thought that was a clever idea.

Claire was definitely pleased!

Rett loves to ride anything anywhere anytime!

He is due for a new ride also!  Happy Birthday to Ryan!
