Where are we?

While we have been absent from blogging, we have not been absent from everything else! I don't even know where to pick up to give you an update, so I will just do random posts of things we have been doing lately.

Last Sat. night we road-tripped to Edgemont. Annie, Ris, Randen, I and the guys went down to watch our cousins Justin and JR in a ranch rodeo. They did really awesome! We have lots more pictures of the night, including Justin in the wild ride! We had a great time catching up with the Colorado Smiths! It had been years since we saw Justin.

Justin lived with us in the summers when he was in high school. We were pesky little grade-school kiddos that followed him around non-stop and tried to "help" him. He slaved away in the hayfield, fixed fence, chased cows, fixed stuff, watched Mary Poppins with us, teased us, and patiently played Junk Poker with us. (Junk Poker was a poker game that we came up with when we were little. The pot consisted of useless crap we no longer wanted anymore.)
Justin is married to one of the sweetest, cutest women you will ever meet. He and Brenda have three awesome kids and live in Colorado. They run yearlings and chase the kids.

Here is a picture of Justin winning the Top Hand award at the ranch rodeo.

Here is a family picture of us after the rodeo. From left to right: Uncle Steve, Aunt Roxie, Joe, Ris, Matt, Lindsey, Justin, Brenda, Randen, Annie, Zach, and our cousin JR.

We had a blast seeing everyone!
