September 2021

I've enjoyed my evening walks around the ranch with this silly boy.  He is always up for adventure and keeps me laughing!

Both girls had a great cross country season!  Gabi has improved so much since she was a 6th grader.  She had some great finishes this year.  Maya has also improved and was the repeat 7th grade district champion (Sheridan-Buffalo-Gillette)!  I love to watch them run.

The entire middle school cross country came out to run at the ranch one afternoon.  :)

Over Labor Day weekend, we went to Laramie to watch the UW football game and then continued on to Colorado to watch the Rockies play the Braves.  Fun time!

Maya made her Grammy's bread recipe for a school project.

The kids and I went over to Gillette on September 16th to run in remembrance of our 8 friends that were killed by a drunk driver 20 years ago.  It is always an emotional run, but it comforts me to know that our kids know the importance of honoring and carrying on the memory of our teammates.

Char and I made it the entire 8 miles! Love this girl!

We spent some post-race time with the other families who were teammates of ours at UW.  All the kids ran as well!

We did this really crazy thing and bought a cabin in the Big Horn Mountains!  Joe and I have been dreaming of this since before we were married!.  We finally found the one that fit the bill and are so excited to share the beauty of this place with our family for years to come!

This moose greeted us when we woke up the first morning we owned it!  He hung around the property the rest of the day.  We see moose nearly every time we go.

The girls kept busy re-painting birdhouses we found.

I think Hudson might like it even more than the kids!

Joe found a new favorite spot to relax and listen to the Cowboys games

We spent Gabi's birthday weekend at the cabin and had lots of fun!

FOURTEEN!

The ranch family came up to help us celebrate Gabi and check out the new digs!
