24th of July

Each year over the 24th of July is the Rigby family reunion in Fairview, UT. We keep very busy by the local activities held as well as our own. We brought up our 4-wheelers, but didn't seem to get any pictures of the boys on them. Let's just say that Ty sure enjoys his toys! Tage loved playing with his cousins, taking 4-wheel rides with grandpa, fishing, swimming, going to watch the parade, the demolition derby, and the rodeo!

Parade

Demolition Derby

Kids Rodeo

This year was Tage's first time in participating in the kids rodeo. He got $4 off the money calf! His cousins Ellie and Bridger caught a 4 day old calf and a pig! Glad we didn't have an animal we had to figure out what to do with! (Note: Ty did the video. You wouldn't want him as your videographer!)

Golfing

While the kids went fishing at the pond, Tyson, his brother Lance and I went golfing!

Of course my ball found the only water on the course!

Ty and Lances swings on the last hole. They were tied, so this was pressure!

Ty's winning putt

My last putt. Definitely didn't win!

Love my two Cowboys!

Fun Lunch

I got this idea of muffin tin lunchs from a friend. (Thanks Monique!) So I thought I would try it today. Tage thought it was so fun! I made him close his eyes while I got it all together and said I was doing something crazy with his lunch. When he opened his eyes, you should have seen his face! Thought is was the neatest thing in the world!

Monsoon Season

It's been very overcast and humid these last few days and each day we have had a down poor of rain. From June 15th- Sept. 30th is considered monsoon season here in Arizona.

Here is how it works.....

First, high winds and dust storms

lightning

then rain, and lots of it!

and of course, a rainbow!

4th of July

Day 1

The morning of the 4th of July we headed over to our ward breakfast. Our ward has a firetruck, so the excitement for the kids was when they sprayed out 500 gallons of water. Although, that only lasted all of 30 seconds! But the kids loved it! What a better way to cool off when the temperature is already 100 at 8:00AM! Then a ride on the fire truck of course! Tage thought the truck ride was the best.

After the boys went to the pool and had lunch we headed up to Prescott, AZ to spend the weekend with some of our friends and go to The Worlds Oldest Rodeo that night. We LOVE Rodeos! The weather in Prescott was so nice! So much cooler! It rained off and on that afternoon and of course at the rodeo that night, but we had covered seats so it was OK. I just felt bad for those cowboys sliding around in all that mud! It was a good rodeo though and we had fun!

Hotel the first night. Do not recommend staying here. I knew Hotel St. Michael was a historical place but didn't think it would be so small! You actually hit the bed when you opened the door. All the hotels in Prescott were booked weeks before, so this was my only option I could find 2 weeks in advance. Next time I will book sooner! Prescott is a happening place around the 4th!

Day 2

Breakfast at Hotel St. Michael Bistro. Then enjoyed the Prescott parade. It was actually a really long parade so we didn't last the whole time. But it was good. After a little sight seeing of the historical town we headed back over to Tom and Romney Randa's to hang out. It rained again while the boys were playing outside. Then they were having a blast playing in the mud.

Boys will be Boys

After a yummy BBQ and talking around the fire, we hit the sack. This time in a much nicer hotel.......the Randa's RV!!!

Thanks Randa's for a great weekend! Count us in for next year! :)

Happy Birthday America!

Happy fourth to everyone!

God Bless the USA!

Thank you to all who have served and given their lives for our country so we could have the freedom we have today!
