Hyrum loves his GUMMY SNACKS. I bite them in half and stick them somewhere on his face. He finds them and has his yummy treat.

Our Valentine's Date
Our VALENTINE'S day was an unexpectedly fun day. It was so windy and stormy that Evan didn't have to work outside all day. So, Evan got to play with Hyrum, tie rope halters and watch "Buck Brannaman" videos about training horses. I made sugar cookies in the meantime. By the afternoon, it had cleared up so we climbed in the pickup and went to see the brand new baby calves. Hyrum LOVED watching the little calves bucking around their mothers. We did a few other chores, delivered some cookies and came back. Evan needed to milk the cow, so I asked if I could come. We dropped Buzzy off at the Humphries' and I fulfilled one of my dreams....I got to drive the Ranger (a little ATV machine).
Here I am milking the Jersey cow. Right after this picture was taken, the cow stepped forward and knocked half the milk out of the bucket.
My SWEETHEART milking the cow. He doesn't remember starting to milk the cow but at age 4, he had a little bucket that he filled for his little puppies--how sweet it that? Evan won't let me throw away his crusty, gross chore hat--but it looks like the one my Grandpa Johnson used to wear, so there is a part of me that doesn't want to throw it away. And that hat is SO Evan.

This is Evan's new passion....training stock dogs. I think his dream in life would be to have some well-trained cowdogs, jump on his perfectly trained donkey, park his truck and trailer at the bottom of some mountain, and bring a herd of wild cows in the mountain and put them in the trailer. And while doing this he would wear his "English derby hat" and have it video-taped or have an audience of Nevada buckaroos. I don't understand my husband's dreams...but it's one of the things I love about him!

Stuck in Idaho
Monster Party
In kindergarten two weeks ago our theme was "monsters." So, we had a "monster party." We had the kids come over in their pj's and had a delicious dinner of monster mac n' cheese, monster snack ramen, monster kool-aid and made monster cookies. Then we watched Monster's Inc. In the above pic, you see me, Hyrum, Bryson, Amanda and Ashley.
Here are the kids making their cookies- Brooke is the one giving her smile and Austin is next to her.
We had a blast and are considering a "Cars" party next....
