Cowboy Up

Thursday we made our annual trek to Nephi for the Ute Stampede.  My dad's extended family was from Nephi so we went to the celebrations a lot when I was a kid.  It kind of cracks me up that they still have a bathing beauty parade and a cattle drive through the main street of town.  The rodeo is always fun, entertainment both in and out of the arena.  This year it seemed especially loud, poor Luke wasn't sure what to think of all the noise but he did amazingly well and can add "First Rodeo" to his list of accomplishments.

The family that ropes together....

Cutest cowgirl ever!

Yep, even Luke wore a pair of boots,
Can't go wrong with the John Deere ropers.

Gavin's a modern "rocker cowboy".

Clearly everyone was super excited to be there.

Lately Luke drools/blows bubbles a lot,
Glad we caught that on camera.

By far my favorite shot of the night
Could they be any sweeter?
