I didn't say that it was car/truck traffic. I think it is so funny to look out the windows and see all of these random things moving up and down the highway. Yes I live on a highway and these are the things you see. Isn't it great to live in the country!!!
So all the dogs came home. Oakley (our female pup) didn't have a mark on her. Lucy (the big dog) had bites on her butt, back, and head. We assume she must have taken the brunt of a coyote attack to protect the puppies. We are glad we found Shotgun because Oakley and Lucy came from a different direction than where we found him. If they would have come home before we found him we never would have looked in the right spot. We are all thankful they are home and safe and hope they won't run off again (ya right). Anyway they are home.
i was thinking the other day that I wanted to write down the funny things the kids do so I won't forget. So these are Jacob's quotable quotes
Everything happened either "esserday" or "essernight" his time references are right now esserday or tomorrow. Oh and lately we will do everything "next week". When you ask him if he wants something like
Me: "Jacob do you want chicken nuggets" he replies
Jacob: "Sure if I want too"
He calls onions yunyuns. He used to refer to Bonnie and Craig as drampa drampa when talking about them together. He likes to sing. he is afraid of fish and does not want them to flop on his feet. He loves helmets. He loves to take pics (like his mommy). Orange is his favorite color. He loves to eat chicken nuggets, noodles, elk, corn dogs, quesadillas, eggs, and fruit. He doesn't play with toys very good. He prefers to be outside. He calls our razr "the vehicle" He can't wait for it to snow enough that he can ride his snowmoblie. He loves books especially "Llama Llama red pajama" He seems to have an incredible memory and remembers stuff I would never dream he would remember. He still doesn't sleep through the night very often. Would prefer to sleep with me always. He potty trained incredibly easy just after he turned 2. He is far too rough with his little brother. Has an extremely sensitive nose.
Justin started walking on his first birthday. He is a curious little boy that likes to get in to stufff. He likes to take things apart like... The heater vent covers out of the floor, the knowbs off of cupboards, dressers, etc... the lids off of bottles and put them back on, open and shut things, he won't say a dang word except momma when he is whining and occasionally he says yum. He knows what a dog says, can growl with the best of them, clicks his tongue better than most adults (and has since he was about 5 mos old) He knows how to turn around to get off the couch and bed. He loves toys. He eats all day long and there are not many things he doesn't like. He has a totally infectious smile that lights up his whole face. He has a temper and throws things and hits. He dances anytime anything even remotely resembling music comes on.
That about all I can think of right now, so you will have to excuse these random postings, but I don't want to forget these things.
So every day when I let our pups out of their pen they stick around for a while and then head across the field to play with Lucy(Craig and Bonnie's dog). Every once in a while Lucy takes off with them. Yesterday was one of those times. We called and called and called but the dogs never came home. We heard some barking across the road down by the river when we were calling last night, so this morning Bonnie went over there to have a look. She found one puppy. He was wet and cold and scared and alone. We haven't found the other two. bonnie has been looking all day and there is no sign of them. We are hoping they are OK and happy Shotgun is home.
So after a month and a half of hunting, this week our luck has finally changed. Cheyenne and I started hunting elk opening day of bow season (sept 1) On Sun (Oct 12) Chey got his elk. Yesterday when he got home from work I decided I would look in the spotting scope to see if I could see any elk and there they were. I said to Chey "there's the elk" He says "ya right" (as he's grabbing the binoculars, still he can't see them) I say "look right here in the scope" he looks, runs to the phone and says "dad we have the elk spotted, this time for REAL" (we've spotted a couple of elk rocks). Anyway we threw on the camo jumped on the wheelers and the race was on. I am not sure if when Chey sees elk his common sense shuts off or if he is the worlds toughest man, but I think he could run a marathon with no prior training if there were elk standing at the end of it. After a mile up hill and almost killing his dad and I we are getting closer, Cheyenne looks down a finds a deer shed (now I know our luck is changing) we drop down into this bottom and Chey heads to the sage brush to stash his deer shed when his dad points and says elk. These were not the elk we had spotted these were much closer and easier to get to so yay Craig for spotting them there were 2 bulls and some cows and calves in the bunch we took the two bulls. Stacy I totally agree with Jason only the coolest blogs have pictures of elk on them!
Yesterday was Jacob's birthday! We tried to make it a big deal and let hime know that it was his special day. He picked what kind of cake he wanted and what he wanted for dinner (Fried Shrimp) yum. This was the first time he has reall been excited about presents. It was so fun to watch him open them. He saw one in the back of the car before his birthday so he knew what it was but was still so excited when he opened it. On Sat I asked him if he knew what tomorrow was and he said "yeah yeah I get to wear my birthday helmet" This is the present that he saw. Anyway it was a fun day. We are so blessed to have two such beautiful little boys. Jacob is a ton of fun (a little moody) but a ton of fun none the less. Happy birthday Jacob we love you!
One last note Cheyenne got his elk last night YAY! Three more to go for the Scharf's and we're done!
Okay all you Pinedale ladies. I need some advice on a pediatrician. The situation in Rock Springs has gotten rediculous and I am thinking about going to Jackson. If anyone has a Dr they love for their little ones I would love to know the names. Thanks so much
My sister was here last week. It was so nice to spend time with her. We had a blast and so did the kids. I wish she could come more often there is so much that we plan to do and just don't get it done. Our kids played and played and we were sad to see her go. We miss you Sally, Keagan, and Ella. Come back soon!
