Happy 6th Birthday Bailey!!

Yes, our sweet Bailey is a Hallowiener

Weekend in Wyoming

Last weekend we went to Wyoming to visit with Ron's brother Brian and his family and to help with their new house Brian is building. When we got there, Brian had decided he was taking the weekend off and didn't want to work on the house. Ron did talk him into helping him with a few small things he could not do alone.
This is the view from the front porch of Brian's existing house. (This picture does not do it justice-it is a totally breathtaking sight.) It will be the same view from the new house as he is building it right next door.

This is the moose we saw in the river along the road between Idaho Falls and Alpine. He turned to leave by the time I got close enough to get a decent picture.

We had a good time although it was too short. The boys love spending time with cousins and were only in the house for meals and when we made them come in for bed. It is nice to spend time with Brian now that we live closer, but his wife, Kim, was gone for the weekend so I only got to visit with her for about an hour before we left.

I Want My Mommy!!!

Do you ever have days where you just "want your mommy"? I talked with my mom this morning and I just wanted to reach through the phone and be with her. It's been a rough year to not live by my parents and I wish like anything I could be with them to help them through these difficult days.
