I love Utah because we get an extra holiday...
Pioneer day, which is today, July 24th.
It's a pretty big "cowboy" day as well.
Some of you might not know this, because it isn't very apparent in my lifestyle of living, but I do have some
cowboy blood.
My dad grew up on a farm and was a little cowboy himself...and still professes to be one to this day! I have cousins that are huge cowboys and rodeo, it's fun to watch them.
We attended the rodeo tonight in Ogden, Utah.
We walked into the arena and Tanner immediately said
"all the horses are farting,
it stinks bad in here!"
It was hilarious!!!!!
We had a great time.
We had VIP status because my dad works at WellsFargo and got awesome tickets.
They fed us dinner before
and we got shaded seats right above the stalls. It was awesome to see the cowboys gear up for their bull and horseback riding.
my cousin Cody
my cousin Chrisandrea who does the rodeo pageants...
she won 1st runner up tonight!
We sat right next to Governor Huntsman and his family too.
lucky us
the rodeo clown was pretty hilarious...He kind of heckled me and then came up to get our section cheering and gave Tanner a Hi-5.
Fun times!

Awww. I miss the pioneer day celebrations! My family went to the Ogden Rodeo EVERY YEAR! Thanks for bringing me a little reminder! I for sure want to be there next year! :)
ohmygosh. Now I have really missed out on all the fun. I am so jealous. No fair. The rodeo looked awesome, and to watch Cody & Chrisandrea too! Awesome for you.
A rodeo? Thats not fair! How fun! Tell Tanner he's right though- I never thought of it that way, but thats exactly what it smells like! ;-) Great pictures! You guys have been busy lately.
That looks like so much fun! How cool that you have family who do the rodeo thing! Tanner is so funny--what a funny comment. I can see why he'd say that about the smelly arena! He's so cute.
We have a lot to do with rodeo stuff in our house--my husband was a team roper and still does some for fun.
I'm glad you're all having a blast in UT!!
Looks like you are having a blast! Enjoy your time while here! I'm sad I am missing convention. Can't wait to hear all about it. THanks for all the $$$ saving tips!
It is a nice holiday. I love it too. Looks like you guys had a blast!!!
Hey, Jill! Thanks for stopping by. It was fun to meet your sister. I didn't make that connection before. How fun!
We had a great pioneer day as well. Nothing like Utah for Pioneer Day. It's just soooo fun!!!
Looks like you've been as busy as we have. It's funny how much you can accomplish in Utah when you go home in the summer. I don't know about you, but I'm worn out. I love all the pix.
how cool is that?! Spending July in Utah is the best! I've been to that SAME rodeo in Ogden (not with VIP status tho--and sitting by the gov.--wow). Tanner's comment is so funny. Looks like you're still having a blast!
I'm such a party pooper. I didn't take my kids to do anything for the 24th!!
