Summer time weather has finally arrived in Utah, and its been nice to not have to wear a sweatshirt everywhere. We went to a rodeo in the middle of June and it was seriously cold. Then we went to another rodeo over the 4th of July and it was warm. Yipee!!! This is Cy and Ayden checking out the action. Ayden loved the first Rodeo he kept saying he wanted to go back. Cy bought him a Sprite, cotton candy and he was thrilled. He lasted until 10pm when it was almost over. This rodeo wasn't quite as exciting for him so he wanted to leave an hour after we got there. However Ayden did enjoy the Mutton bustn'. Next year maybe? I don't know if I can get him to ride a sheep backwards but heck its worth a try...
Elaine and Todd were down from Alaska and Ayden got to play with his cousin Huxley briefly. We went up to Logan and he saw Huxley for the first time since he was a baby, baby and Ayden held him on the grass (sitting down), I tried to get a picture but Hux fell over on his head in the grass and needless to say we didn't get a good picture after that. So they came down to visit before they headed back to Alaska and we got a picture in the love sac. Not the greatest of pic but hey least they are together. :)
Ayden and Grandpa,Ayden loves both of his sets of grandparents and he doesn't realize what a lucky boy he is to have them around to love on and they both live so close to us. He is one lucky boy, he loves to go over to 'Papa's' house and make popcorn, help him check is sugar levels and wake him up by running in screaming into the room (we thought he was going to have a heart attack).
Every 9 days at our new house Cy gets to irrigate our pasture, our orchard and water the lawn with the 30 gallons a minute of water that we get. This was our first day time irrigation and Ayden had a blast running and playing in the water. Its pretty fun to see how much water runs down our driveway and how much fills up the pasture. We get the water for 8 hours and Cy pumps it all up onto the grass. It saves us lots of money in our cullinary water bill but Cy has to put a lot of time into running pipes and hoses, and when we get our water turn at night, well he is up from 8pm to 4 am watering the lawn. Slight down side. But its all good!!

Hahaha way cute picture!! They kind of look alike! Family??!
Holy cow! What a guy he is to stay up all night! I'll bet it does save you some major money on your water bill though. You guys have such a huge yard I can't even imagine what it would cost to water everything. I need to come see your house now when it's NOT covered in snow.
