OVERLOAD, again....

yep, this is pretty much what it's been like......Don't you just love Tucker's face watching his silly little girl cousins?!

The only difference between big boys and little boys is the size of their feet and the size of their toys.  

(hee hee)

 Naia teaching the class - we filled up the room with the sounds of the ABC song...so fun!

 The Old Glory with only 48 stars.....

 Then it was time for the rodeo - the 4th in Taylor is a really big deal...Grandpa and Grandma worked at the Temple that morning so we missed the Patriotic Program, but Michon and her family attended and said it was "Fabulous"  - the Jenning's Band was as glorious as usual.  Sprinkled for quite a while at the beginning of the rodeo - thank goodness for some "cool."  Ellie, Tyanne holding Haylee, Ella, and Jade..

 Tarrik, Dillion, Tucker, Eathan and T.R. -  Workman Cousins...

 Lighting the anvil....

 Makes a huge "boom"  - black powder between two anvils - light it on fire, stand back and WOW.
