We love Aunt Tess!

On our way to the Dr. we stopped

in Lovel to see Aunt Tess.

She came down from Powell

(about 15 miles or so)

It was so beautiful

out. No wind!!!

Ford didn't think much of the slide.

Ford isn't smiling..
but if he were you could
see the cute dimples he has like
Aunt Tess.

Just pick me up....

Ford loved the "real grass".

Look at me!

Midvale Round-Up

It was the most beautiful day

to start Midvale Round-Up.

The guys started about 7:00am

and we went out about

noon. It was 50 or so and no wind!!!

There they come.
All of the snow has melted and you would
never know that we had over a foot just
a week ago.
The foothills behind us
(Wind Rivers) still have tons.

Linc relaxing after getting to the final cut
at Winchesters.

Madi on Gabby.

Grandpa took a break from riding

and he is doing his yelling from the truck.

Ford thought it was great to yell

at the cows as long

as he wasn't too close.

Lincoln on Madi's horse Gabby.

Linc's horse is too jumpy at the moment.

He needs along pack trip to calm down.

Lincoln heading up the heard.

Madi and Ford waited for the guys to

bring the cows over the ridge.

He just watched and watched.

I know someday he will want to ride just like

Lincoln.

Curls and more Curls

For those of you who know

my crazy hair,

you can now see it in Ford's.

He still has us all

"one-up"
for his hair color,

but not for the CURL!!

Curly... Curly... Curly!

Let me say it one more time.....
Curly... Curly... Curly!

Now... look on top.

This is my bed head, right after I get up.

I have to eat before I even

think about getting a

bath.

WHAT WE DO WHEN IT SNOWS

When it snows we can find all kind of things to do.

The day starts off with Grandpa taking us for a ride in

the ranger to check all the farm critters.

As you can see, Ford didn't make it too far.

Ford loves to ride the 4wheelers, no matter
who is driving.
Everyone fights over riding with Mike and
Elle.
Elle was one of our Boarder Coley Pups.

Mom and Ford...and Fancy

behind Mike.
If only Weston was here to see all

the snow. He hates missing the first big snow.

His sled is waiting for him.....

Lincoln riding Madi's 4wheeler.

All the kids... and the kids up the road

came out for a spin on the sleds.

Mike, Matt and Wes took turns taking everyone

around the pasture.

Madi is finishing up her snowman.

Madi and Tierra starting to make

a snowman.

More snow!

Well after 2 1/2 we have a total of

13 inches of snow!

It has been forever since

we have had this much snow in October.

We do need it and it will put

a lot of moisture into the

ground before the big freeze.

Fancy had a hard time too!
Wyoming Snow Blower

This is my huge Lilac tree in my

front yard.

There was so much snow, that the

branches were touching

the ground.

Front yard after 2 1/2 days of snow.

Back yard

SNOW!

Ford is looking out the big window

and pointing at the snow.

This is the first time he

has seen it (well... that he knows of).

He really doesn't know what to think of it.

Madi is in the background

getting the sleds out.

Lincoln is out in the shed getting the

4wheeler to pull Madi behind.

Back yard to the West.

Over night it snowed!

Last night(10-10-08) about 6:30.
Just a little snow, enough to see.
Front yard.

Fall is Here and Almost Gone

We have spent the last few weekends

up on the mountains moving cows and

this is what we look at.

We are so lucky to look out at

the range and see nothing but

beautiful colors.

Rock Creek

Madi hanging out by the cabin.

Ford waking up in the Ranger.

Ford loved riding around in the Ranger.
We put his car-seat in and off

we went.

It was so nice to have my hands free

and Ford safe.

Oh..Oh...Oreo

I finally decided that it was okay to introduce

Oreo's to Ford, even tho he has no teeth.
Ford loved them....as you can see.

His little fat fingers had a hard time holding them,

so he had to use his entire hand. Make that

both hands!
