The boys started a tradition when they were very small. Bringing their famous - Lil Smokies, cheese and Olives on a tooth pick to Gramma McBride for Thanksgiving every year. The catch is you can't buy the fixings until you get to Safford and you have to put them together on the way to her house. It was always funny using the back seat as a prep kitchen for their ordurve's. here they are with My, putting on the finishing touches. HAPPY TURKEY DAY

National Christmas Trees from the White Mountains
They wheeled the Tree into the Rodeo Grounds Arena and had a little program before the Tree headed for D.C. It was really quite a big deal for ole' R.V. Mylea received a seedling from the Forest Service and has a twig from the Tree.

Super Bowl for NAYFL Football
I sometimes wonder why I say "YES". Mylea decided to cheer for the NAYFL Youth Football league. I ended up coaching and the Peewees made it ot the Super Bowl. The girls had a good time and yelled their hearts out but we got beat!

A RODEO, RAFFLE, ROPING AND A TALENT SHOW....wheeew thats hard work!
What a day this October 10th was. OurRodeo Club hosted a benefit for the Rory Finch Family. Wow was this an amazing experience . Witnessing the whole community and all our Rodeo Families rally together in support of our Friends in their time of need. Over 90 contestants competed in the Rodeo and then donated their winnings back to the Finch Family. Community businesses donated all of the concession supplies that were sold in the concession stands and over 800 tickets were sold in the Motorcycle vs. Horse Challenge Raffle. I love this Valley and the examples of selflessness charity when our neighbors gather to support a good cause.
After a very long Rodeo day and well in to the night, Mylea still had to go to the local Talent Show. What would a family do without an Aunt Dez. She took her to the house helped Mylea wash off the Rodeo dirt, rehearsed the song and spiffed up her hair. Mylea had a great experience singing "Our Song" she did not win the contest but I am perty sure her grandpa Marlen was peekin' down a watchin' her with a big smile on his face. GREAT JOB MYLEA! We are sure proud of you!
