Celebration

We had another successful year at the Celebration.  It is pretty much the same thing every year - the kids just a year older.  I could put my pictures of when I was a kid on here and they would be the same things.  The kids Love it!!!

Here is Kaylee ready to take off for her race at the rodeo.

 Tylinn ready to run.

 Rhett Man!

 Tylinn and Austin ready to run the stick horse keg race.

 They announced the keg race for all the racers to go over there.  Then they announced the 8 and under first.  Tylinn and Austin were already sitting down and didn't hear that.  Part way through the race they found that out but it was too late.  Tylinn and Austin are 2 of the sweetest kids around so I know it was total innocence.

 They were the winners!  The last couple they competed against were bigger then they were so I guess it ended up being OK. They got Flake Rodeo t-shirts.  On the back it says "This Ain't no Ordinary Rodeo"
Rhett and Taylor ran it and got 2nd.  Dustin did it with Porter then the older group with Brigham.  Dustin and Porter did really good too.  Dustin and Brigham were doing really good!  Brigham tripped and Dustin fell over him so they got out.  They should have taken it easy!

 Tylinn and Tye

 Tylinn did the ribbon roping with Shawn mugging and Reed roping.  Reed caught and did great.  Tylinn grabbed the ribbon

 and took off running.  It was pretty good.  Shawn had a hard time getting the rope off the calf.  Tylinn wouldn't have won anyway because there were a couple that were faster.  She has fun doing this every year! It was one hot dusty dirty year this year.  It was hotter then I ever remember it being for the Flake Rodeo.

 Kids anticipating candy at the parade.

 A bunch of family men were in a Mormon Batallion Float.  Grandpa was on of the officers on the side closest to the kids.

 Bruce is carrying the American Flag.

 Here are some more of the men and boys.

 We decided this year to not do the races at the Main Street Church Saturday morning.  There are tons of people and the kids run 1 short race and they are done.  We did them at Grandma and Grandpa's this year with cousins Saturday afternoon.

 The moms even had a race.  It was all good until Holli tripped and Jill fell over her!  Guess mom's must be too old to run these little races!

It was fun going to the town rodeo and the rain.  It is the best sitting on the lawn visiting!
