East, West, Hame's best!

Last wednesday we headed east to Dickinson for Special Meetings. What a wonderful day! On the way we pass Roosevelt National Park which has wild horses and bisen. We saw horses, but I wasn't quick enough on the draw with my camera. We saw about 35 of them and we saw about 100 bisen. Evidently they had done a round up to get numbers, which made for a great sight! This lonely large beastie was my favorite.

Here is another sight I always mean to get a snap of and finally did. It's an old barn just in the middle of no where with just sky to look over it.

Then, on Thursday I did an about turn! Grandma and Grandpa were missing their baby, so mommy and baby came home for a couple weeks. This was daddy's last snuggle for two weeks.

I love this photo. Daddy and daughter photos just get me every time. Nothing so sweet as a little girl adoring her daddy and him wrapped around her little finger!

Snuggles with Grandma Mary.

We have helped feed cows, move cows, milk cows, doctor cows, bottle feed calves and feed chickens. We have eaten grandma's yummy food, found excellent thrift finds (oh fun!) and hung out.

Grandpa Doug is teaching Zaiya how to bid on cows. She caught on quick!

Nap time with Grandpa.

Zaiya loves the mountains. In fact best way to keep her occupied is to put her near a window where she can see the trees. So much the better if the wind is moving them a bit because she just watches and watches! It's the best babysitter ever.

Uncle Tony is alright too though! In fact she will only laugh and giggle for her daddy and Uncle Tony.

She's been a sick little love. She is teething and often that comes with a cold. Mom is glad she's near grandma because she is a panicking with every snurffle and snort and gasp. They say this is normal for a first time mommy with the first time sick baby..... it's so scary.

 Other than that, we love being home! I think this cat is looking for a careless mouse....

Grandma getting Zaiya to strengthen her legs, and distracting her from her stuffy nose and rattly cough.

Aunt Jewel to the rescue and with food! Looks like she's reaching for it :)

Our Little Love.
