4th of July!!!

For the last two weeks we have been celebrating the 4th of July in our family! The 4th is the biggest time of the year for rodeo. It was none stop for Clint for two weeks, and Austin and I were able to meet up with him at some rodeos. Thanks to my Dad, Austin and I got to be with Clint during the 4th of July weekend. It only took two drivers, lots of stops, and a rocking dvd player to play every disney movie ever made!!! My Dad helped drive a rig out to Prescot, Arizona with me and Austin. Clint had to fly in from Cody, Wyoming and we picked him up in Pheonix just in time for his rodeo in Prescot. It was nice to be with family at a rodeo on the 4th, its just tradition in both the Arave and Brower family. I wish my mom could have come but she was having fun with my grandma in Montana. All and all the week was rough on luck for both me and Clint but there is always another one!!!!!!!!!

Hogul Zoo!

We all decided in June to go to the Hogul Zoo!!! It was crazy fun!!! Hey we all decided that maybe the Arave family has to many kids!!!! ha ha! Just kidden but we are a big bunch and at times it can get rowdy!!!! We piled into two cars meaning every seat was takin and we were packed. Thank goodness for BIG VEHICLES!!!!! But we all went and the kids loved it so much. It's funny how much a kid can love any animal!!!!! We had a lot of fun even though it sprinkled on us a couple of times!!!! Oh yeah it was Ledges birthday that day, and it was a great way to celebrate!!!

Oh Canada!!!!

Clint had a bunch of rodeos for about two weeks in Canada. So me and Austin were lucky and got to go with him!!!! It was a fun trip and Clint did really good those two weeks. We went to the Edmonton Mall, which is one of the largest malls ever built. It has a large water park and bunch of fun little shows throughout the mall. We went to the Sea Lion Show and watched the tricks of four different sea lions. Austin loved it, and to be honest so did Clint and I. Austin's favorite Sea Lion was named Oliver and he was huge. I loved him to, he had a lot of personality. Then we went to a Movie, which was The movie UP. We really enjoyed just sittin and relaxin, while we ate popcorn and drank POP (Austin's favorite!!!). Sad I know, I blame it all on his father!!!!! Then we went and had Horton's Donouts, (Clints favorite thing about Canada) and watched kids ice skate in the middle of the mall. It was so big that I don't think we even went through it all. It was a fun two weeks, and Clint placed a lot so it was great!!! Oh by the way we went to the Nothern part of Canada, just outside of the Northern territories the first couple of days!!!! I was sick when I saw signs that said Alaska!!! It still was a ways but I couldn't believe it!!! Yeah a lot of driving but a lot of good family time for us!!!!!!!

Austin's Birthday!!!

Austin turned 2 at the end of May!!! I cant believe I haven't posted all of my pictures so much has been going on. We pretty much celebrated his birthday all week long. We went to Riot Zone with the Araves and with the Browers we had a Birthday Barbeque!!! It was so much fun. We love Austin and he has been so much fun!!! All and all do to great friends and family Austin had a great 2nd Birthday!!!
