Livy did great in her carseat but we are ready for her to be facing forward, she's ready for more action. Notice she has E's old blue blanket. It's now hers and she grabs it anytime she is ready for sleep.

Livy awake at 1 am as we waited at the canyon junction in park for an accident to clear. It took over two hours. Poor Baby and poor mama. At one point she was crawling in the mini-van eating whatever she could scrap up.

Blake has started training them young. He wants them to know how to shoot.

Ellis was love all things cowboy. He grabs any cowboy hat he sees and runs around yelling "eew-haw" with a broom between his legs. He thinks he's a real cowboy.

This is how Livy sends most of her time. She is always strapped to me and she's cool with it as long as brother is doing something fun to watch.

We made a trip to Cody, WY and visited the Buffalo Bill Museum. This is a silhouette of him, which is about Blake's size but E has got a long way to go.

Probably our favorite night was at the Meadow Creek Rodeo when the Whole Brunt clan was together and we got to tag along. E was in heaven with all the running he got to do and the sucker he got from trying to grab the baby calf.

Enjoying the view of the rodeo with my little man.

Blake had to chase him he whole time. When it was Blake's turn to try and grab a cow, he came so close but ended up face planting in the mud and we all enjoyed the view.

*this is the night that E fell in the creek while I was busy dancing to the country singer. All I heard was Luke yelling, "He's in the water". I turned and ran and Ashley and Blake were pulling a wet little E out as he floated ( or was pulled by the current) down the cold creek on his back. Don't think for a minute that once he was in dry clothes he didn't try to get in again. What a memory.

E loved the lake and playing with the big boys. They were all so nice with him and made him feel included. I guess all boys just want to get dirty and that crosses all age barriers.

They did this almost everyday.

Idaho, we love you. We will long for you all year, until we get to see you again. Thanks for the beautiful company, scenery, and fun memories. You always fill our canteen of happiness and recharge us for whatever the upcoming year brings.
