That had to hurt!

Pioneer Day Celebration has got to be one of my all time favorite holidays. I usually always try to make it to Snowflake for the Celebrations. This year Ryan was really old enough to enjoy all the activities. Friday night we went to the rodeo and Ryan was able to go out and chase the chickens. He was upset that he did not catch one but is enthusiastic to try again next year. Alex did the grocery race with Choc and Mickey. They were doing really well but fell off right at the end. Saturday we went to the Parade and then to the park to see all the fun things at the booths ( I did see a cute hat that I had to buy for Abbigail) Then Saturday night we went to the Rodeo and I was a little nervous about the fireworks because they always scared Ryan until this year but Abbi did really well sleeping through the whole show and Ryan kept telling me how pretty they were. Then Sunday I was able to go to church with my parents and listen to the speakers. They talked about our Pioneer ancestors and shared some stories of their ancestors. I always get really emotional and love talking about our pioneer ancestors because it always reminds me of what they went through so that I could have the gospel in my life. I always have to question how I am living my life as well. Am I living up to the legacy they left me? I always have a new determination to live my life in a way that would make them proud, and to show them how thankful I am of the sacrifices they made for me.

50 years and going strong

My Grandparents who I love dearly just had their 50th Wedding Anniversary a few weeks ago. We had a dinner for them that turned out wonderful. I hope they know how happy I was to be able to be their and enjoy that moment with them. Sitting there it was so amazing to think that most of us there would not be if this two people had not gotten together so many years ago. How thankful we all are for that choice they made so many years ago and the love they have shared ever sense. I love you both!!!
