When dads away. . .

Sunday night, the girls and I deceided to go see Gnomeo & Juliet! It was a pretty cute movie, I wasn't real thrilled to go, but I promised Emma I would take her to the movie. Jeremy left on Saturday night to do a job in Jenny Lew, West Virginia for a week or so. We have been so fortunate to have work when a lot of people don't. We are also very fortunate that I can be a stay-at-home mother to our 3 daughters.
I want to remember the things that Jascyn has been telling me since he left:
*Everytime she hears a truck drive past the house she runs to me and says "my dad home!"
*She tells me "my dad at work in Tooele"
*She also says "my dad is workin' at the high school"
When Jeremy calls at night and Emma is talking Jacs can't wait for her turn, but as soon as Emma hands her the phone, she says a mumbles a few things, tells her dad I lub you, here's Madi.

Cowboy Prom

Chad Watterson, Shayla Goode, Madi & Josh Frost

So sweet! Dad is helping Madi put her boots on.

Madi all ready to go

The second weekend of the Dixie 6 rodeos, they held "Cowboy Prom". Cowboy prom is a formal dance for high school rodeo contestants. A boy asks a girl and then after the Friday rodeo the kids gets dressed in there formal attire and attend a dance, but before the dance they go to dinner. Madi got asked to the prom, by Josh Frost a kid from here in the Basin. She was real nervous to go on her first "date" and her dad refused to refer to the event as a "date".
We decided to get a hotel room instead of stay in the horse trailer, so Madi could have a real shower after the rodeo and have room to get ready. We stayed at the Holiday Inn. Madi & Josh doubled with Chad Watterson & Shayla Goode. They went to dinner in St. George at a Brazillian Grill and than back to Hurricane to the dance. Madi's curfew was 11:30 pm, since there was a rodeo at 9:00 the next morning. Josh brought her back on time & she had a GREAT time!
