Round up

Memorial Day weekend was a fun one!
Every year Jon's family goes down to Nephi to help with the cattle drive.
Two years ago, when we were dating I went with his family.
Wasn't my most favorite experience.
I didn't mind the hours on the back of the horse, it was mostly the fact that I couldn't go to the bathroom.
Let me clarify.
We were camping, so there were not toilets.
I'm from Chicago.
Lack of toilets has never been an issure.
Long story short, I held it for 2 days.

But this year I've grown up a bit I guess. It was a much more... relieving.. trip.
Too much info?
Oh well.

I was way excited to go this year. So was Rusty.

 So we left our house and met at his parents. Rusty reunited with his brother Gunner for the first time since they were tiny pups.

 It was adorable. Rusty is still a bully.

We got on our horses and headed out to go find some cows!

 Rusty was thrilled. This was his first time doing something like this. He was leading us all!

 By the end of the ride he was pretty tired.

 Branding is always nice to watch...I won't go into too much detail about what else goes on here...

 Awkward.

Turns out the boys subconciously think they're models..
Maybe not totally subconciously..

 Hahahahaahha Jake might not be too happy about this one...

 Anyway, after we got home we went to see my family. Of course we went bowling. And of course Jon won.

Johnny brought us more goats.

 The crazy-eyed one is Frodo, and the other is Bambi.
I hate both of them.

 But I still love the rooster, even though he crows at 5am every morning. He loves me too and lets me feed him.

All in all it was an eventful, fun, tiring week.


Took a lot out of some of us.


Quotes from Jon: We were talking about our future kids, and I jokingly said I hope we have all girls and a son who loves theater and looks like me. He responded with, "They need to look at least as manly as me. Like, they need to have hair on their chest by the time they're two."

And then there was this..

Jon: "I hate places like these..."
Me: "...neighborhoods?"
Jon: "Yeah."


Love you alll!
