Weekend in Pinetop

The weekend prior to the 4th of July we headed up to my parent's house in Pinetop. We hadn't been to visit them there in about a year...now that I live in cool weather and mountains we just haven't gone to visit as much. Sarah, Chance and McKai were going to come up too, but my sister was close to having her baby and was told that the high altitude would surely put her into labor, so her and McKai stayed home and my mom drove down to hang out with them. So, Brett and Chance did a little golfing Friday morning and then Brett and I took the kids to see "Brave" that afternoon. It was such a cute movie and I just loved how perfectly they portrayed a mother-daughter relationship...it felt so familiar:) That night we headed down to the Show Low rodeo grounds to say hi to our friend, Homer, who was calf roping. Raylee absolutely fell in love with his horse, Gator. I have extreme anxiety around horses...they are so big and they can so easily step on you or kick you, but they certainly don't seem to phase the kids at all. Brett, Chance and my dad were in an archery tournament all day Saturday and then that night we went to the Taylor 4th of July Rodeo. We had a fun time watching Homer calf rope again and watching the fun fireworks. My Mom came back up to Pinetop that evening too and she brought my cousins Kaitlin and Jordan, so they could hang out with their dad who is living at my parents house right now. Raylee just fell in love with Uncle Kelly and it was hard trying to pry her off his lap. It was a fun, relaxing weekend and probably one of our last in Pinetop before my parents sell their house and move.
