Mutton Bustin'

Clayton got to participate in the Tucson Rodeo-Mutton Bustin'. It was pretty cute to see a 5 year old boy trying to ride on a sheep & hold on as long as he could.

Here's the cute cowboy before his turn:

They gave him a bandana & spurs to keep for participating-here he is checking out his spurs:

Here is Laun & Clayton going over strategy techniques:

It was a great day at the rodeo & it was so fun to watch Clayton hold on to a running sheep.

relocating turkeys

Laun went with John Larsen today to help relocate turkeys. John works for the National Wildlife Turkey Federation and they were asked by Game and Fish to help relocate some turkeys. They picked up the turkeys between Patagonia and Sonoita and released them at Mount Lemmon, Rose Canyon Lake.

Show Low trip

We have been having a great time in Show Low at the Larsen’s house. We went to the Snowflake temple with John & Jennette & then out for dinner & pie. We also celebrated Jennette’s birthday with ribs & cheesecake.

Today we stopped by the Show Low cemetery. The headstone the boys are sitting on is Grandpa Mike’s & the rest are Cooper’s headstone.

bowling night

We met up with the Glauser’s tonight for some bowling.
