4 Day Weekend

The boys had Thursday and Friday off from school, so we had a busy, fun weekend. The temperatures all week has been close to 60 so most of the snow was melted. We still had enough to go sledding on Thursday though. We found a new sledding hill on the ranch and had a blast. Half way down the hill there is a little ditch that added some extra air. It was fun but I realized that it is getting harder to get up after I crash than it used to be!
On Friday we went to the NILE which is a livestock show that lasts all week. Brian's brother, Jeremy was in a horse trainers challenge and did really well. Then we entered Colton in the stick horse rodeo and he won a trophy for "bull riding". Dylan was a little bummed because he was too old to do it this year, and Logan was too young and he wanted to take a turn too. We finished off the night going to the real rodeo with Holly, Travis, and my parents.
On Saturday we saddled up the horses and went riding. You can see that all the snow is already melted only a week after we had 3 feet! The boys are all getting to be such good riders. We only had one little mishap....Colton got shook off of Peaches. I'm so proud of him though because he shook it off and got right back on. Logan has been watching big brothers ride and thinks he should be able to do it himself now too. He was so cute telling the horse "whoa boy" or hollering at the cows. Anyways, we had a great weekend and just thought I'd share some pictures from it.

I still can't believe you guys got that much snow. I was in Well/Elko all last week with my Mom and Sister Rachael. I passed your old house a couple of times and thought of you. Your cowboys are so cute.
