One of the highlights of every summer is the Ute Stampede in Nephi!!! Of course, this year was fun like always. (truthfully, it was way better as a kid but I still love it...) I get to see a lot of my family from both sides and usually a lot of my friends. I didn't get to see very many this year which was disappointing. Russ likes it because he gets to dust off his "ute stampede hat" and wear it along with the tightest jeans he can find in his closet and wear them to the rodeo.
Every Saturday of the stampede my Grandma Zoma has a get together for all the girls (all the pics are on my mom's camera though). This year was pajamas and thin pancakes. It was a blast.
We also entered the Mammoth parade which is on Friday for my Grandpa's Sinclair business. He is the Grandpa that passed away this past year and we did a cool float in memory of him. They drove his big green gas truck along with the new gas truck and all the grandkids and great-grandkids were on the float throwing candy and popsicles. My sister Michelle, cousin Janelle and I, RAN the entire parade and gave out balloons and pens. It was really fun and also very neat because SO many people stood up along the parade route as we passed and yelled things like "we miss him" and "we love Forrest" and even put their hands over their hearts.
All in all it was a kickin classic time and now I get to look forward to next year when the second weekend in July comes and it's time for the next annual UtE sTaMpEde! Yeeeehaw!

Baylor modeling his new jeans that were WAY too big and he couldn't wear. The picture doesn't really show you exactly how big they were, but they were huge :)

Fun!! hah Russ always likes to dress up doesn't he! =) Baylor looks so much like Russ I think. We still need to get our babies together. Is he crawling? Makayla just started crawling last week. They are growing so dang fast!
So cute. I love that your husband busts out the cowboy hat. That makes him a little cooler than my husband, because he doesn't do that for Labor Day in Parowan. Looks fun. I'm glad we were somewhat able to catch up with you guys!!

Good ole cowboy Rusty!! I love it. We didn't get to make it to the Ute Stampede this year. I was pretty upset. Baylor looks so cute.
Oh my gosh! Baylor is so cute! I love all the pics! Looks so fun. I love that you were able to do a float for you Grandpa! How special!
Baylor is so darling. It was fun to get to see you at Cole's baptism this weekend. It was such a nice day. It was great to see your dad with Cole. Such special memories! Enjoy this time with Baylor while he is small. They grow much too fast.
