On Friday night this gal (my costume party soul sister) and I had a blast throwing an end of summer ho-down!
We spent most of last week gathering decor and planning the night. Finally the time came and boy oh boy did we have a blast....
Here we are with our hot cowboys!
When the guests arrived, they posed for pictures at the "Kissing Booth"....
Some really did kiss....while others...
had a shoot out!!
ahhh, that's better!
More cute couples....
I LOVED everyone's costumes... but this Barbie cowgirl and her wrangler wearing date with his wolf shirt about did me in! SUCH a crack up!!
AND DON'T even get me started with this Rodeo Queen's fancy get-up! I couldn't stop screaming when she walked in!!!
All the "single ladies" of the night
(a huge shout out to their husbands who stayed home with the youngin's)
We had our fingers crossed that we'd be welcoming a little cowgirl by the time the party was over... but to no avail. Still waiting. 
After we took pictures and mingled... it was time to chow down on some cowboy grub..
on the menu: Pulled Pork Sandwiches, cole slaw, corn bread, baked beans, yummy dessert (thanks to all who helped with the food)
minglin'
Some of the cowgirls 
and a few of the cowboys
Next it was time for a little showdown....
One of the lines was "put those guns down... my man's got to DANCE" and then the boys (bryant and Aaron) had a dance off to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia!" (i'll try and get the video of the skit up soon. these boys cracked me UP)!!
Once the little skit was over, the music was pumped up and the boot scootin' began.....
Ashley taught the group a fun line dance and after that we spent the rest of the evening dancing until some of us were soaking wet from sweat. 
good thing this little lady had a paper fan to help keep her cool!
good thing this little lady had a paper fan to help keep her cool! We also have to give this cowgirl a shout out for letting us use her home.... once again! Thanks mom!
These three couldn't resist singing along to Kenny Rogers "The Gambler". 
We took a short break from dancing to give some awards out...
Here are a few of the lucky winners receiving their sheriff badge star
Then we danced a little more....

Best "hoe" down ever. We had a blast and needed to soak our feet after that dancin' Loved the pulled pork and all the decorations...it makes it! Some people can really DANCE :)
"There's a tear in by beer 'cause I'm cryin' for you dear" So sad that I missed it. You are are the rootinest tootinest cutest Sarah! It looked great and I want to hear all about it. The Devil went down to Georgia is my favorite country song, BTW.
Had a blast! Can't wait for the next one!!
oops, that was Kendall
Can I just put a link on my blog to yours? I'm really just dreading downloading all of these pics. There are way too many to narrow down. I love your picture collages.
For now...I'm hittin' the hay! (pun intended!)
Okay so I just need to know, who just has those kind of clothes in the closet, or did you guys spend forever finding them? So cut and looks so fun!
What a fun bunch you are!! One of these days I AM going to come to one of your great parties!!! Looks like it was a great!
First of all...after one day in your ward I have something planned every evening this week. No wonder Bryant is a pro-babysitter...it's a preistood calling that comes with being a member of the Atherton Ward.
Second...I am dying over every single hoedown picture. I have tears from laughing and tears of sorrow b/c I couldn't go!!!
Third...you are KILLING me with that last Fall post!!!
WoW! I am speechless..Looks like you guys had a blast!
Shawna is out of control!!
Always love looking at your party pictures. Lets me live vicariously through looking and reading about them.
I think one of my favorite pics is the one with Emileah and Richie and Angie and Tyler. Emileah looks ready to pop and the pose is so fun!
Great job girls....another theme party down, and on to more brain storming.
This looked like one of the funnest and wildest theme parties yet!! I wish we had been there. I LOVED all the hilarious outfits and the line dancing is just too much! SO fun!!!!
Where was the "real cowboy?" (Your dad?)
Oh, don't worry, Natalie, that the "real" cowboy was at a youth activity helping out. He "loves" parties as you know...any excuse to get out of one! (;
But, Steve got to wear Randy's real cowboy stuff: Grandpa Rex's leather gun belt, with real gun, and Randy's suspenders and cowboy hat and boots, so in a way Randy was there!
So sad we missed another fun party. I need to put your party on my calendar a year in advance so nothing will stop us next year!
No one throws a themed party quite like the Hulls! SO much fun! It looks like so much fun (and so much work) but so worth it! You are so darling, Sarah!
