It's a great day to be alive...

Owen loves to be outside!!! Here are a few precious moments...

~Life on the ranch~

Living on the ranch for the past year

has brought me new perspective on life

and I have enjoyed seeing new life

spring from all the beautiful animals!

Here are a few scenes we get to see daily...

~Ducks and cows gather at the pond~

~Antelope jumping away~

~Cow and her calf at feeding time~

Life's stages...

Owen turned 5 months recently and decided it was time to try new things, like...

...sit & swing with great-grandpa...

...drink from a cup...

...eat rice ceral (I think he wants to feed himself!)...

...go fishing...

...& sit up!

It sure is a lot of fun for us to watch Owen grow up!

Getting to know you...

Cousins Mason and Owen have been able to get to know

 each other a little bit. Owen has been able to learn from

 Mason and Owen has enjoyed having a friend closer to his size! 

These two have also been lucky enough to spend time with 

Grandma and Grandpa from Wyoming:-)

Growing up...

Owen is 4 1/2 months now and is looking quite boyish!

He loves to roll over and over and over again...

...and his personality is just shining!

Beautiful view...

Recently, we have had a lot of snowfall where we live.

See that white house on the right side of this first

picture? That is our home:) The other pictures

are the mountains by our home. Isn't it beautiful?

Spending time with cousins...

Ken, Owen, & I went to Utah recently

and Owen was able to finally meet some of his cousins!
