Jones Family Reunion to Bear Lake::

This past weekend was the Jones Family Reunion (my mom's, mom's side) I always love our family reunions because we get together with 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd cousins! It's a blast to be with everyone that we only see at the reunions. We have cousins, aunts, uncles come from from New York, Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho. We all met up at Bear Lake this year and had a blast. It was my first time going to Bear Lake and I loved it. (freezing cold water, but fun)
....**here we are on our way to this wonderful reunion**

Happy (late) Birthday Heidster! July 7th

Heidi "Fairy" Lamb Stoddard~

Dear Heidi, I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You're scum between my toes! Love, Shandi.

HA HA HA HA HA Yeah right...Love you my Heidi!

So my Bestest Friend Heidi turned 24 on July 7th! Whoop Whoop! I can't believe she is 24! We became friends when I was 13. Time goes by so fast. We have had some HILARIOUS times together over the years. When we get together we still act like we are 13. =0)

The other day we were able to go watch Heidi dance at "Arts in the Park" in Lehi. It was all the past Miss Lehi's and they were to preform their talent for everyone. It's always fun to watch Heidi dance. She is AMAZING!!!!! Here are a few of my favorites from that night..and ALL the glorious pictures are in the slideshow. It's worth watching!!

Happy 4th of July Weekend::Friday Night::Oakley Rodeo::

My family always goes to the Oakley Rodeo every year for the 4th of July. I love the tradition and hope we keep going for many more years! (This was our 4th rodeo in 2 weeks...we can't get enough. ha.) We went to my cousins cabin before the rodeo and had a BBQ. mmm mmm good! The rodeo, like always, was so-o good. They also always have killer fireworks after. YEEEEHAAAAWWW! .........on our way to the rodeo..........

Lehi Rodeo::

The Lehi Round-Up is one of my favorite times of the year. Daniel and I always go to all three nights of the rodeo and always have a blast! Daniel took tickets at one of the gates and I handed out programs all 3 nights. It's a blast to help, plus we get to see a lot more people as they are walking in. I didn't end up taking my camera to Thursday night's rodeo but did remember to take it on Friday and Saturday. Everyone should know by now that I get carried away with pictures so here are some I took at the Lehi Rodeo!!!

Friday night was SO cold and SO wet! We stayed through all the rain and we were soaked by the end of the night. There was no way we were going to go home. Next year if we see clouds I'm for sure bringing more blankets and an umbrella. :) (Thanks to my dad for having some warmer coats in his truck he lent out to everyone in our group...he was a life saver.) My Aunt Lynn, Uncle Cory, cousins Tabatha and Jake also came on Friday night. It's so much fun to share the rodeo experience with family. =0) They wished it was better weather though. haha.

Saturday was so fun and a lot warmer! Even though the jokes are the same all 3 nights it's still a blast and never gets old. I still laugh every time.
