Rustyn & Alex Photo Shoot | August 2011
EagarDaze Weekend 2011
Friday before all the craziness I DJed a dance in Saint Johns for the Dance Festival. It was a really good time and the turn out was great. What a fun way to end the summer for all the youth that are going back to school this week.
Amidst all the rain we caught a break and had our foot rodeo that the RV Rodeo Club Extravaganza puts on every year for EagarDaze. Among many other events that are going on we have all sorts of racing, roping, and riding events for both cowboys and cowgirls and those just participating in the weekend’s festivities. The unfortunate thing about running the event is that you don’t get very many pictures of what’s going on. After the foot rodeo Mylea went over and jumped on the trampoling/rubberband dealio.
On Sunday after church we went over and saw Gwen. We ate some dinner outside, and had a fun time just relaxing on the grass. I don’t remember the last time I just laid on the ground and looked up at the clouds. It was a great ending to a really fun weekend.
Fruita/Salt Lake Weekend
A friend of mine got sealed in Salt Lake and invited us to be at the sealing. We decided to head up to Fruita to see Amanda’s brother and family, and then run up to Salt Lake for the sealing. We hung out at the pool, and Rustyn had a blast once again in the water. While we were up in Salt Lake Chad and Mindy watched the kids, THANKS, and they had a great time. We actually went and watched a movie, ate at the Roof with a great view, listened to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir practice, and then got a great night sleep. The next morning we went to a session before the sealing and had such a great experience that I don’t think either of us will ever forget. Thanks Dare’s for the fun weekend.
Craig Choate’s Blessing Dinner
Criag, Andra’s son, had a dinner and party at the Rhoton’s house and invited Rustyn and Alex. The food was amazing and so was the company. Alex and Craig even shared a chair when they decided they had enough fun for the evening.
Riding Rustyn’s horse “Alligator”
We went out and rode for the first time in too long. Rustyn rode for the first time all by himself on “his” horse Leaf Getter, which he calls Alligator. It was also Alex’s first ride. We headed out and had a good time just getting to unplug for a few minutes. The sunset wasn’t that bad either.
Daddy’s Little DJ
Alex came with us to DJ a Stake dance a few weeks ago, and when the dance got started we turned up the music. Alex has a pair of noise-canceling headphones that her and mommy share when daddy gets a little excited with the volume.
Memorial Day Weekend 2011
We had some fun over the holiday weekend. Rustyn had Grandpa fix his bike so he could reach the handle bars, but we still need to tape some blocks on to the pedals so he can really ride it. Amanda’s MTC companion Char and her husband Brian came to visit so Rustyn and his new friend Kai watched shows, rode the fourwheeler, and played at the park with Cordell. Alex even made a new friend too. On Monday we went to Cassey’s graduation party and visited Gwen. Rustyn pushed Mylea around in Gwen’s chair most of the time.
