sanpete county fun

cody and some friends joined barclay mechanicals annual golf tournament down in manti. us wives decided this was a good excuse to head down that way for some fun with john, markell and kaydence. as liz, the kids, meg, britt and i entered moroni we learned that john suggested going boating and they were all in swim suits (some even sewn to size) ready to go. we went and got boat ready at walmart and headed for gunnison res. i learned a great lesson from this trip...always come prepared for anything fun (snowmobiling, wakeboarding, jeep jumping, etc.) when you get on the road towards johns house.

we had a great time on the boat including a big surprise wave getting liz and her family, who were on thier way to a family reunion, soaked. i even got to wakeboard for the first time in a few years which was fun. cody still can land a 3 and jeff stuck a raley which is always exciting. we got cleaned up at john and markells recently updated house and ready for the nephi ute stampede rodeo.

here is our first attempt at whole milk at john and markells.

and this shows how much she liked it. i should have known not to offer it with her favorite pinwheel. after some corndogs and nachosoff to the rodeo. we had a great time watching calfs get roped, cowboys bucked, clowns ramed, barrels tipped and dirt bikers lives at danger. we learned the night before at codys softball tournament, which cody hit the final triple that won the game, that maddie has a thing for fenses. she would shake the fense and scream it was adorable (even all of the players thought so). this fense didn't have as much give but she still enjoyed it for a while.

the straw was fun at first. luckily britt was there to save the day and give maddie a break from cody and i.

that is one happy baby with her happy daddy
