Me and mi familia at the rodeo
I don't know why, but for some reason I thought the two pick-ups, one pink and one red, staring into each-other's headlights would make a cool pic
Oliver and I worked hard, and stood in a line forever, to get that funnel cake. Even missed the beginning of the show!! The least he could do is smile when he gets it, but noooo...
First thing that happens in the annual rodeo show is a bunch of cowgirls riding around in formation and waving at the crowd. (Fighters from the US airforce flew over and saluted too, but my camera was
Next thing up, mounted shooting. Three competitors race around, all the while shooting at balloons with their colt handguns
Turns out the world champion of this particular cowboy sport is... a lady. WTF!!! A lady champion in a sport involving shooting things!!! No offense, all you women out there, but can't you just play c
Members of the mounted army unit... Didn't know they still existed, but I guess money is better spent on training soldiers to trot and gallop, than keeping a bunch of people in Iraq. The world would b
Notice the mountains in the background. They are there as a constant reminder of the great place I'm living in! Yeehaw!
A typical bull ride. First the cowboy tries to stay on there for as many seconds as possible.
Then they try to get the big living piece of beef into the pen, without someone getting too seriously injured by the angry critter
This guy ended up having a really bad day. *Angry commentator says to bull:* "Your mom's a cow! Your sister's a heifer!! And your dad's a wallet!"
Not a safe place to be...
You'll notice that what makes the bull so angry is a cord tied across his groin! If some shit-head did that to me, I'd also get pissed off! Wouldn't you?
Bareback bucking horse riding
And of course... Lamb-back riding for the smallest cowboys... I mean you've gotta start somewhere!
And the cow-milking contest... Lasso a cow and milk her before the other team!! Not very polite from the cow's point of view perhaps... But what gives
Here I am with my beloved guitar. <3 I've loosened this babe's G-string many times. xD
Ok, jag erkänner att jag vänstrar med en slank, vacker elgitarr när min bebis vänder ryggen till
Yeah babe. Maybe we should get a room
Giving Oliver reading lessons while playing guitar... the best way :)
If reinkarnation were true, why not come back as a mountain?
Colorado, the land of the free. Forever my home

Vessels for Honor Rafting Co. This is where we rented our rafting gear
Lydia and the rafts
Making my cousing a little taller
Trying to get my brother a little more excited about the rafting... Didn't work very well for some reason...
SHIT!! A house I can afford. MINE!
Our instructor. Demonstrating what we should do, should we fall in the water. Or is it aerobics?
Me and my bro
The winning team
At a time like this there's just one thing to say... Yeeeehaaaaw! "You wanna know how I feel about the river? Well... the river is a beautiful woman. It has all the qualities of a human being, especi
I look psycho, but that's half the fun :)
And these were the small rapids xD
In case you didn't realize. This is really kick-ass fun
When entering a rapid, the rules are simple...
Aim away from sharp rocks that could potentially smash you into little bits of shish kebab...
Row like hell...
Stay in the boat...
Row some more
Hold your breath
Close your eyes
And get drenched
Driving back from the river
Not for the faint of heart
Alright. Get out of the car, give me the keys, and nobody gets hurt, ok?!
On the road to fatness
Sunset on the mountain
The Sand Dunes Mia, remember the night we met on top of one of those dunes? Memory for life <3
