PBR

Santa brought us tickets to the Professional Bull Riders competition at Arco for this past weekend. It was the first time that the boys had ever been to any sort of rodeo type event and they absolutely loved it. The rides were fun to watch and the clowns, one in particular, were absolutely hysterical! The Bakers, Joey and Mary Beth, also got tickets so we were lucky enough to have good friends with us. It was a very fun evening. We'll have to plan to get a group together for next year's event.

This bull was hysterical! He decided to have a little stand off with one of the clowns complete with throwing dirt up into the stands. Too funny!

Adorable Mary Beth Baker enjoying her ice cream!

And of course, equally adorable Sammy enjoying his!

The rides were fun to watch. Eight seconds must seem like forever for those poor cowboys. Some of them were so young (some only 18 or 19) and were winning some huge sums of money for their rides. Very cool to watch.

Mahlon & Sammy's Basketball Game

Mahlon and Sammy had their first game of the season this last weekend, too. This was actually Sam's first official basketball game and he did great. They both did great! They don't keep score at this age but of course if you were to ask them they surely won!!

Oh you can so tell that he's the youngest of three boys! Look at him fight to hang onto that ball! Too funny!

"I'm open!" Go Sammy! He actually scored a basket this game! Yeah!

Mahlon in action! He had a great game and a lot of fun which is the most important part!! Mahlon and Bailey Foster were guarding one another throughout the majority of the game and were a great match. Very fun to watch!

Basketball Has Begun!!

Connor had a great game! They won 33 to 28 and they all played great! He'd taken a year off of sports to concentrate on schoolwork(even though he was on honor roll all last year) so it was a lot of fun to watch him back out there and he's really enjoying it again!

And of course, the all important snack!!

Connor's getting so tall!

I've got to figure to figure out how to work my camera better. All of my action shots came out awful. There must be some sort of indoor sports button but who knows!
