Snow, snow, snow!

Okay...October 4th and the first snow of the season. This time Lily is way more interested. Her favorite thing is to lick it! She could hardly walk in it...so funny to watch. She thoroughly enjoyed herself, and so did we watching her! I will try to add a video later... 
 
 
 

Lily Lately

Sorry, we've been on a little hiatus... Here are some recent pics of Miss Lily. She has been keeping us busy lately. She is finally walking everywhere and can reach anything! Sometimes I think she has GO-GO-GADGET arms! And she wants to do everything herself these days. The other day, she reached the wipes box, pulled them ALL out and when I came around the corner she immediately started washing herself off like she meant to do that and was helping me out! Thanks Lil! Anyway, these pics are of her eating a milkshake (which she stole from me), eating yogurt her way, and helping me sweep the floor (her new favorite chore), and the last one is of her and sweet Mr. Howard. We help him and his wife, Vivian, on Wednesday nights with dinner and settling in. They are the parents of one of Zack's co-workers. They are from Georgia so we are kindred spirits. They lived 91 years in Georgia before moving here last year so their son could take care of them. And needless to say, they have really taken to Lily...I think she feels the same about them! 
 
 
 

Wyoming Wildlife

Here are some outdoor pics from the weekend...first, overlooking a canyon while elk hunting. Next (look carefully)...a cow elk I called in at 8 yards!!(from 350 yards). Lots of wild horses in Wyoming--here are a few. And last, a wierd looking antelope.

First Steps!!!

A Day in the Life...

This weekend was very eventful. We were housesitting for some friends of ours that live on a small farm about 45 minutes away. They were on vacation and invited us to come and stay and take care of the animals. Now you know I am not an animal person to say the least, but this turned out to be a lot of fun. Zack of course was in heaven, although I'm not sure he has what it takes to be a real farmer all the time. We took care of chickens, turkeys, geese, rabbits, cows, horses, goats and of course cats and a dog. There was also a fish that went to fish heaven on our watch...I wonder if the kids will notice the fish in the tank is a different color than when they left? Zack and I were quite freaked out by the chickens but I think they were Lily's favorite. She had a blast-the books I read her came to life! Although, she was plastered to us the whole time. She wanted to look from afar. We also jumped on the trampoline, skated and Lily actually took a few steps on her own while we were there! Very busy weekend, but very fun to experience yet another Wyoming first...enjoy the pics!

Loving Lily...

I absolutely love this little girl. Everyday with her is better than the last and I'm so thankful to have her. By the way, I think she's finally noticed me too-even when her daddy is around...
