Ryon and Matt had a great day planned for the families on the Fourth of July.... an all-day roping. I think Allison and I were pretty good sports to pack up the kids, some snacks, and the cameras and head out to Spanish Springs to cheer on our men!
We all had a great time, the guys were excited about how they roped, and the kids loved it. I'm not sure if we're ready to make it an annual event, but if it were up to the guys I think we'd do this every year!
The boys waiting patiently for their turn
Ryon and Annie - when Ryon asked why I didn't get any "action shots" of he and Matt roping I politely reminded him that I was also working the video camera. He got some great footage of the roping, but no still shots. I guess I need a few more arms!!
Posing for a picture after placing fourth out of 80 teams. Not bad boys...not bad!
"I Love You Man" (sniff...sniff)
Hoyt enjoyed riding Annie when Ryon had a little "down time"
He rides all by himself while dad leads Annie. However, he has to be reminded pretty often to "hold on with BOTH hands"!
The kids getting a bird's eye view of the festivities!
After the roping we got to spend a little time with Grandma Hoyt, Aunt Marissa and Aunt Tarsus
Even though the guys didn't get home until about 8:00 the night of the Fourth, we managed to take Hoyt out and catch a few fireworks. He loved them...
as you can clearly see!!

That was a great day! We'll have to carry on the tradition, only in Idaho or Utah! (maybe we can switch off years:)
