defying gravity

last weekend i got some free tickets to the logan rodeo. i love rodeos and was super excited to go. we had extra tickets so we invited the moss's to join us. and lucky for me, they brought their gorgeous little girl, rachel. we had a great time at dinner and watching the rodeo. however, i have to admit, i was highly distracted by the young girls sitting a few rows in front of us...

seriously, what kind of animal was nested in her hair??! it was absolutely ridiculous and i had to be sneaky and quick trying to get a picture of such a work of art (and i'm not sure if the picture even does the hairstyle any justice). i understand that we girls like a little volume... but come on! that must have taken an entire bottle of aerosol hairspray to create. and then her friend...
seriously, the earrings she was wearing were the size of watermelons (and yes, she has 2 separate pair of earrings separate holes)! here they are resting on her shoulder, but when she was looking forward, the earrings were so heavy that they pulled her earlobes down in a way that looked so painful! i was in awe at how she still had holes in her earlobes and shocked that her skin hadn't succumbed to gravity and let them slip right on through.

we made sure to get some pictures of rachel enjoying the rodeo. she was such a good baby and sat on my lap watching the whole rodeo without making a peep!

this is what we'll look like with a child in about.... 5 years....
the cute parents, mike and michelle
josh and i also got invited from some friends of ours to go rock climbing up in logan canyon. josh took a rock climbing class this past semester and loved it and has been itching to go ever since school got out. i on the other hand had never rock climbed outside and i was a little nervous about it- but once i got going, i loved it! it was fun (and a great workout) and we're excited to go again. josh is doing everything he can to convince me that we need to buy all of our own gear so we can go whenever we want. i think we're going again this saturday so we'll see if i still like it enough to let josh get his way!
