Butter Cow 09

We went to the Utah State Fair for Family Home Evening (as is our tradition every year) so we could see Mom's butter cow and enjoy free ice cream night. Yummmmmm. It was rainy this year so there weren't a lot of people there that night. Which made it fun for us. But I didn't realize how much walking we do. It's never felt like much in the past, but in my current 7+ months pregnant body it pretty much wiped me out.

As luck would have it, Peter Breinholt happened to be playing for free tonight! And you know me, never one to pass up a good Peter B concert (now that I don't live on his street anymore I just can't stalk him the way I used to... I'm really going through withdrawls). Ha, ha, just kidding, Adam (he thinks I stalk Peter B. But you can't stalk someone you're legitimately friends with.. well, facebook friends). Actually it was the rest of the fam that decided to sit in on the concert in the rain and I'm not one to pass up a chair these days.

Now, Peter B is great and all, but look who we would've seen had we come on Friday!! Livin big, Boys! Way to play the Utah State Fair... keepin the dream alive.

Cute mom in her "got butter?" shirt with spooked out dad.

Flirting, texting, suspicious-ing, enjoying.

And finally, I give you the Butter Cow. This year's theme was "It Takes Two to Tango." I love the movement and personality in this sculpture. One of our best friends Matt actually was Mom's partner this year (well for the last couple of years) and I love seeing how both of their talent come out in the sculpture.

I love this little kid asking for Mom's autograph! That's my mom!

Well done Mom and Matt! Thanks for the great night, fam!

To see pictures of all the previous butter cows (Mom's been doing this for 13 years--ever since they first started doing one in Utah!) go to this website: http://www.utahdairycouncil.com/Butter-Cow-History.html and click on "Butter Cow History" on the left.

Mom and Matt were also on the news and I have the video but I can't figure out how to upload it in the new editor (love how much easier it is to upload pictures and make changes now though! Not using the new editor yet? Click here for instructions on how to change it: http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?answer=156829 as well as tips on how to do things in the new editor. Did I already say I love it? Cause I do. Besides not knowing how to make the video work. But I'll keep trying).
