As a member of the St. George Exchange Club, Ryan has been involved in a lot of service activities for the community over the last couple of years. One thing the club does every year is "Give A Kid A Flag To Wave", were they give a flag to every kid at the Dixie Round Up Children's Parade. This is the first time I have taken the kids to the parade since he has been doing this. The kids loved the parade and especially loved seeing Daddy in the parade!
I am not sure what it was - but something about my manly husband walking down the parade route, wearing that ridiculous yellow t-shirt,sweating like crazy, and making sure every kid watching the parade was given a flag...I just couldn't keep the tears from coming. It was such a sweet site for me to see. 
And what could be sweeter than this? Not much. The Rodeo
We have never taken our kids to the rodeo, we always talk about it and never do it, but this year Pierson came home from school after the "Rodeo Assembly" and couldn't stop talking about wanting to go to the "radio." (I kept correcting him, but it was just cracking me up every time he called it the "radio.") So we decided since it started so late, Ryan would just take Pierson and just the boys could go to the rodeo. Pierson was super excited about going with Dad!
The boys ready for their exciting night out
When you are 6 you can get away with wearing a hat like this to the rodeo and people still think you look cute.
Pierson got to ride around the arena before the rodeo started with Dr. Gooch
Pierce had such a fun night! He made it through the whole thing and loved every minute of it. He was completely exhausted when they got home so late. The next morning he told me ALL about the rodeo and even acted it all out for me! He was a bucking bronco all morning and what entertainment it was for me!

What a fun post! Pierson looked so cute at the "radio" (classic!). And that picture of Maddie with the flag was so precious. All of your pictures look great Josie!
How fun! I thought it was pretty funny that he called it radio, because Jaedon may be a rodeo clown for halloween, and he calls it radio clown as well. Too cute!
I love the cowboy hat! He looks so adorable in it. I haven't taken my kids to the rodeo yet and every year we talk about it. Hopefully next year when Bentley is a little older, we can go and enjoy it too!! Cute pictures. You take some really cute shots!
Jos, I loved reading this! You and Ryan are so good to provide such fun and special experiences for your kids. Madi - precious, and Pierce - what a handsome little cowboy. Sure love you all!!
Love that flag pic of Madi! And Pierson and Ryan looked like they had so much fun! I'll have to make sure grant gets the chance to go next year!
How cute, what a good time they must of had. Your cinnamon rolls look so GOOD! I would love to taste one. :)
I loved reading this. I could see why you would be touched by Ryan's generosity. What a neat thing to experience. Your children are so sweet Josie. I love seeing pictures of them. Your camera is great. I need to get me one!
How fun. We took Chandler last year and he LOVED it. He talked about the cowboys and horses for six months after. We missed it this year though. Darn. We should take all the kids next year together. That would be fun. Hope you guys are doing well. Miss you!
