Lehi Round up days

Marlee was in the parade Friday night. Elisabeth was the only one to come, and she was on the opposite side of us, so we got NO pictures!! I was so upset! She was so good on the trailer all the way thru and as soon as we got off she was hungry. This is Saturday mornings parade, we literally rolled out of bed, threw some clothes on and came upstairs just in time to see the beginning. Which by the way I think is retarded!! We dont like cops, so why do they stick them and their annoying loud sirens at the beginning of all parades?? hmm?? I HATE that. All it does is make the babies cry and everyone cover their ears. DUMB! anyway this is Mar watching the parade, her favorite parts are the bands or anything with music.



David still cant take a normal picture.



One of the cute floats, we werent too big on taking pics of the floats this year.



A cute little bee guy



HA so the theme for the floats was If I could I would......and this one was go sky diving at age 92 or something like that and they have this cute little old lady :)



A mascot guy, David was jealous he didnt come shake his hand

Right after the parade we headed to the museum. Its free the whole week of Rodeo days. This is what we saw......

When we first walked in neither of us noticed this little guy, he scared the poop out of us when we did see him.

Us in the teepee


I put this on facebook and said were home! but my little brother wrote back and said Navajos dont live in teepees they live in wigwhams so I cant say that now.


After this we went home and had breakfast, there was a small kid carnival at the park but we had no money so we didnt go. We took naps, then headed to my grandmas for a BBQ. My moms boyfriend threw the party, it was supposed to be a meet the new family (my older brothers in laws) but it turned into a hoe down redneck drinkin beer n spittin seeds typa party. They had old country blasted on the radio and a bucket of beer. SO not my family but Jimmy was throwing the party so he really showed what he is all about I guess. If you cant tell I dont get a long with him too well. The food wasnt cooked all the way so I guess I embarassed him by announcing the hamburgers were still pink. Oh well, I was hungry!
Then we dropped Marlee off at my aunts house to go to the Rodeo!! We went with Eric and his new girlfriend Hillary. She is awesome! We love going out with those two. I love going to the Rodeo!! When I was little my grandpa would work in the stands and sneak us hamburgers and pepsi. Hillary has all the pics of the Rodeo so when I get them from her I will post them.

Goodbye Gramma Cardon

My grandmother on my dads side passed away June 22. She had heart surgery the week before and just struggled to recover. The last time I saw her as herself was on Saturday at Vienas baby shower. She seemed to be at peace with what was to come, like she knew. I knew too. I tried to spend as much time with her as I could, I told her everything I needed to. I thought her death would have been easier to bear that way, I was wrong. I saw her after her surgery all plugged up to those machines breathing for her. She was so swollen I couldnt even recognize her. I saw her a few times in that week at the hospital, but didnt want to remember her that way so I didnt stay too long. My dad called me each morning to update me on her status, and when the day finally came I thought I was prepared for it. I almost didnt go to the hospital. Zack and Viena wanted to go so we all got in the car and headed down. We were 20 min late, she was already gone by the time we got there. The entire family was in the room, tears on everyones faces. I couldnt even look at her, just hugged my aunt Anita, then my grampa and made my way thru the room. After about 3 min my grampa said I gotta get out of here and left, that made my heart sink. It almost wasnt real.
The funeral was that Friday. There was a viewing Thrs night (which was also Daylons bday party) I actually made it on time to family prayer this time. I didnt with my grampas. I almost made it thru the funeral without bawling like a baby until my cousin sang a song called Grandmother, it goes like this

You give me a kiss. You give me a hug. You smile when you see me too. I wish every child in the whole wide world could have a grandmother like you.
You read me a book. You sing me a song. You whisper you love me too. I wish every child in the whold wide world could have a grandmother like you.
Ill try to be good. Ill do as I should. Ill whisper I love you too. I wish every child in the whole wide world could have a grandmother just like you.

I will miss her everyday, but I know she is where she wants to be. I know she is happy, and that is all I need to know.


Putting the flower on her grave.



My aunt Anita
