I realized not too long ago that it has been way too long since I have gone through and backed up my photos. So I just went through a whole bunch of pictures and found this one that I absolutely love, and thought I'd share with everyone. Back in August, the girls decided they wanted to do Mutton Bustin' at the rodeo. For those of you who don't know what that is, (I didn't until I met The Father) kids ride on the back of a sheep for as long as they can. Yes, that's all, but apparently it is a lot more difficult than it looks. I think the thing was rigged. My girls got sheep that ran into the shute (the big yellow fence behind them) and didn't get a re-ride. Lame. They had a blast, though and both got participation trophies. I love participation trophies...Make everyone feel good about themselves...(can you hear my sarcasm?)
So I'm a day late (and probably a dollar short, I'm not sure I haven't looked at our checking account lately) but I was busy over the weekend. The girls came home (2 days early) and I was in Utah running the Wasatch Back. And I pretty much missed Father's Day. I got home at 7:30 last night and Colby had made the girls dinner, cleaned up, and started the dishwasher. They were watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Had it been Mother's Day, he never would have lived it down, but he hasn't said a word (maybe that's not a good thing). He's a great dad. As I get teary just sitting down writing this, knowing he will never see/read it, he's amazing. He's a hard worker and does it all for the girls and me. He doesn't (usually) complain about anything and does what needs to be done. He loves the kids and probably missed them as much as I did while they were gone. I don't give him enough credit for having emotions about anything, but ...
