Mom broke her ankle.

Here she is before surgery to pin her ankle. She was helping trim their apple tree and pick up apples off the ground and she slipped on an apple and got this stupid broken ankle. I thought I would gross everyone out and show you just how her poor toes looked. Ouch!!

Here is Mom after surgery, it took about an hour and a half and she did just great. Mom you are a trooper! Dad stayed with her all day and Cindy and I were there as much as possible that day. She had quite a bit of pain and they kept her overnight. All went really well and she was able to come home the next afternoon. Look at that beautiful smile even after all she had been through. We love you, mama!

September Vegis..

A friend let us raid her garden and I thought the vegis looked so pretty I thought I would post a pic.

Back to school

finally, I am posting the first day of school pic, school started Aug 27 and Cedar is in 2nd this year and Oakley is a 4th grader. They are getting way to grown up for me to believe. Both of them love their teachers and are having fun so far.

more Humming bird pics, I fell in love with them.

Okay, last thing, You won't believe this...

The camp host had some feeders set up for the Humming Birds, so we went to watch them and the kids were actually able to touch the birds. This was so amazing. I have rarely even seen them up close, because they are so dang fast.

Look at this....Man it was so cool.

This was something I had never experienced, the birds would just fly right up and buzz around us with no fear.

I love how serious Oakley looks here. They both had such a great time. Nature is so totally incredible!

Crazy Men!!!

Beautiful view....





Oakley found a new little friend.

You guys are the very Best Parents, EVER!

Dad and Mom take a Harley trip to come visit!

More of Scout...

We found so many caterpillars, isn't he cute?
















Good Night sleepy heads

Camping at Scout Mountain.

We finally got to go camping. We spent three nights and four days up on Scout. We had so much fun. The weather was great because it was raining down in the valley and we could watch the storms pass over Pocatello. This was our first time in our tent and it was nice. Perfect temperature to sleep and we didn't freeze our butts off. Oh yea! there weren't any bugs either yeah!!

Cedar needed some assistance while playing, and I think Dallas loved having to help her. We love you so much Uncle Dallas.

I love this pic with Cedar passed out in the background, and of course the great looking guys.

Archie, Montana and Smoke cooling off in the shade.
