Days of '47 RoDeO

 So we got a great deal on tickets for the Days of '47 Rodeo this year.  We hadn't taken the kids yet so we thought it would be fun.  They absolutely loved it.  They also had some motocross stunt guys come out during the intermission and do tricks.
 I went and found the boys these cute cowboy hats and I must say they make pretty cute cowboys!!! Those things are expensive though so we will be taking good care of those babies.

We went to the rodeo with Grandma and Grandpa Jolley and the Jared and Megan and kids.  They always have a great time together.  So much fun to have close cousins to make great memories!!!

1st Pet

 A couple of weeks ago I took Kaya with me to IFA to buy some plants.  While we were there she saw the rabbits and didn't want to leave without one.  I told her that a rabbit costs a lot of money and takes work to take care of.  I told her if she earned enough money to buy one on her own then we would consider it.
 Little did I know she would do just that.  She took it one step further though and got on KSL.com to look at the classifieds for people selling animals.  She found one that she wanted that came with a cage for $20.  She did a bunch of research on rabbits and made a list of why we should get one and what she would do if we let her.  She then went to her brothers to get them to pool their money together to have enough to pay for everything.
Well as you can see by the pictures, she won.  We went and picked up Oreo.  The kids are loving her.  She is a funny rabbit and is actually potty trained just like a cat.  They love to put a leash on her to take her outside.  She's still a little nervous and likes to hide so we'll see how she does.  The kids are just excited to finally have a pet.
