June 2012

Dinner in Cody--We took this picture and were enjoying sitting outside for just a few minutes and then a terrible storm rolled through. We had to hurry and grab our drinks and get inside! It was crazy, but it was over quickly.
Sitting on the Bull. Total rip off! You pay $10 for the kids to sit on him and then you have to take the pictures yourself! No enthusiasm. 
Wilson's face cracks me up! Whitney is starting to warm up for pictures.
A little more (feigned) excitement!
New trick!
Beautiful kids at the temple

June was full of festivities! We went to Cody with my family and enjoyed mexican food, watched the TERRIBLE gun fighters show (definitely do not recommend it. we kept hoping it would get better, but it didn't) and then went to the famous Cody Night Rodeo. The kids were brave and went out to try to get the ribbon from the calves, but they didn't win. They were brave enough also to sit on the bull and take a picture, but they were pretty nervous the whole time. Can't say I blame them!

Mike ran in the Ragnar race in Utah Father's day weekend. He had a great time running with friends, but was so sore when he came home! I wouldn't say that he loved the running part, but riding in the vans and the experience were worth it. While he was gone, I took the kids to Billings and took some pictures of them at the temple. Definitely not professional pictures, but it was nice to get some cute ones!
 
We had our annual town celebration in June too. We had fun attending the follies, family fun night and the parade. I stayed really busy for the couple of months before Mustang Days as I was in charge of both the Dollies and Rockettes. It was pretty stressful, but I was happy with the performances of both groups. After the parade on Saturday, Mike, Bryan, Chelsey and I went on a long Rzr ride up to the ice cave. It was my first time up there and we had fun, but got super dirty! We got back in time to get a shower and load the kids up to go out to the fireworks. We had a great day!
