Leamerado Days

Did I even spell that right?! I meant to ask all weekend why it got named that. Anyway, I have officially experienced my first Labor Day in Leamington. We had a really fun weekend with Robert's family. It started of course with softball. Robert played with Jonathan and Brandt's softball team in a tournament in Payson. They didn't exactly win....but it was still fun. I was reminded to not mess with Robert in moments of frustration (that is a whole other entry that I shall probably never write!! :) ) Saturday was also Mother Lovell's birthday so after the games she took all of us to dinner (is that backward to anyone else?) Anyway, we were glad to be able to spend the day with her. We love her and are grateful for her and all she does for us and hope she had a great day! We ended the night with birthday cake and games. Even Dad played and we all laughed plenty!





The rest of the weekend was packed full of more games, home videos, cows, and fun Labor Day festivities. Amy, David, Robert and I woke up and ran the 5K race that Robert actually took 2nd at and David took 3rd! Good job boys!! Amy's little girls danced in the program that unfortunately we missed due to a cattle expedition. He heard they did great though and we can't wait to see the video. We finished the day off with a wonderful lunch, kids games and races, and the rodeo. The grandkids all had fun riding sheep (good job Ashlee and Jaxon) and chasing the money calf and Robert has promised me that next year he will do the hide race...I hear he puts on quite of show so for anyone interested in seeing if Robert can redeem himself or continue to make a fool out of himself, tune in for the next Leamerado Days coming Labor Day 2009! :) Robert also left with a new 22 that he won in the raffle-the lucky boy! It was a very good weekend with fun had by all!!
