Strawberry Days/Father's Day

This past week was a hectic one for us. I had a store inventory, a meeting, and some other issues at work and it was Justin's all time favorite part of Summer: Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days Rodeo. Every year on the 3rd week of June, you can expect to find us at the rodeo. In years past we have gone all four nights. The past couple of years though has not been that way. Last year Justin had his tonsils taken out that week and this year we were afraid it wouldn't hold Broc's interest all four nights. We went three nights instead. It was fun. Broc loved seeing all of the horses and cows and loved the clown. His name is Keith and he has been the clown for the past 3 years. He does a great job. Broc was flashing Keith his belly and Keith tried to get him to flash the camera so the arena could see but he got shy. It was funny. I never knew my kid was the shy type. Saturday night we tried to get Broc to mutton bust. For any of you that don't know, Mutton busting is the riding of a sheep. They call it the only legalized form of child abuse in Utah County. Justin had him all vested up and on the sheep, but Broc wasn't going to have any of it. Poor kid. I asked him if he was a wuss and he replied yes. Broc did get a cool shirt at least. Oh well. Maybe next year. Bad picture of me. Thats's Jen and Shellie with me.
Sunday for Father's Day, we went to church and then went up to Ogden for dinner at my parents house. My grandparents got back from Arizona for the summer so they came over for dinner as well. It was fun and nice to relax for a minute.
I am so grateful for everything that my dad has taught me and for the example that he sets. I have learned so much from you. I am thankful to my father in law for the lessons he has taught my husband. Justin is a better man because of you. I am most thankful to Justin for the father that he is to Broc. I couldn't have asked for a better husband or father for my child and future children. Thanks babe. We love you!!
