We have been so excited for this week for such a long time! IT IS RODEO WEEK! We love the St. George Dixie Round Up and it is so funny because both Kason and I have been going since we were little kids. We could have been sitting next to each other and not even have known it. This is also a fun week because my birthday is on Friday, the 14th. On Wednesday we decided to go and check out the cattle that had arrived at the Sunbowl. Apparently Kas does this every year. He told me that when he was little he would purposely fake sick on the Wednesday before the rodeo because he knew his mom couldnt pick him up and so he would have to be sick at his Grandpa Popes house...who lives right by the Sunbowl. He is a gem I tell ya! So him and his grandpa would sneak over and see all the cattle and livestock waiting to be used in the rodeo. Thursday night was the first night of the rodeo and so we got all dressed up. I love wearing my rodeo clothes, and I LOVE LOVE seeing Kas in his. He is so sexy when he wears his cowboy hat! We sat in the seats that his family gets every year and it was fun to be with them all weekend. Friday was my birthday! I love birthdays and I think they should always be over done and over celebrated! I got so spoiled at school. My kids were so sweet to think of me on my special day. They gave me some of the cutest and most wonderful gifts. THEN THESE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS CAME! I literally think my heart stopped. Kason is so perfect! THEY ARE AMAZING! I cannot express how much they took my breath away! I have never in my life seen such perfect and pretty flowers! He sent me flowers last year on my birthday and we had just started dating. The flower place messed up on his card and wrote that it was from "anonymous lovers".. yes.. like plural. Which was so funny because all day I was like who the heck are these from! I didnt think Kason really because it made it sound like it was from more than one person. So I remember we laughed about it last year because he was so bummed they had messed up his cute card! So this year when he called the same flower place, he made sure the card said: from "ANONYMOUS LOVERS" ... I know it sounds silly but he is so perfect! Isnt that so sweet that he would remember and think to do that? I truly dont know why I am so lucky!

I got to leave school early on Friday and go home and get ready for the rodeo! I was so excited because my mom, dad, and Nat were going to come with us tonight. We decided we would go out to dinner with Kelt and Kelli as well and so we met at Olive Garden. It was so fun to be with every one, we always laugh and have so much fun! We headed to the rodeo and had the best time! I love being with my sweet family and I love being with his too. It was the most perfect birthday! Saturday we relaxed most of the day until it was time to go to the rodeo again. We were starting to get super bummed that our rodeo weekend was coming to an end and we would have to wait a whole year more! We had fun one last night at the rodeo. We got to see Kara which was so nice. We sure do miss seeing her and wish we saw her more often! More of Kasons family came with us to the rodeo on Saturday so it was a little squishy but super fun to have everyone there. We missed the McDonald family though. Kiley is going to have her cute new baby any day now and so she wasnt able to leave Las Vegas to come down for the weekend. It was one year ago that night that I had met her at the rodeo the previous year. I adore her and her sweet family so much and so we missed having them there with us! The rodeo ended and I thought I was going to have to drag Kas out. He is such a cute fella. We had the most wonderful rodeo weekend and we cant wait until next year!
