In front of the Nauvoo Temple. It is only a 100 miles away. It too has such a special feeling. I was even able to help clean it last month.

Just more pictures of our cute little boy! Doesn't he have his moms blue eyes!

So while we were in Louisville for the Ironman. We got to stay w/ Nate & Sarah. Well as you you can tell from other blogs, our familys have shared alot of things, but perhaps one of the best was that Sarah actually went into labor early just so we could be there to share that w/ them!! Thanks Sarah!! Little Cooper Wells came into the world so he could meet his friend Lucas and Uncle Jory and Aunt Betsy!! How thoughtful Cooper. It was such a treat.

These are pictures of our trip to Louisville, KY to watch our good friend Cathy do a FULL IRONMAN!! It was so awesome. Lucas was her Cheetah mascot. Cathy did awesome and it was so inspiring to be there. Thanks Cathy!!! Your our hero!!

So several of our professors had mustaches and we nicknamed them Oseostaches. So in honor of them we had an Osteostache contest. I decided to get creative and shave KCOM in my whiskers. At least I will be remembered for something here at KCOM. Here is the documentary that was made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvC68okX1u0 also for your viewing pleasure a video was made for orientation for the incoming class. You would all be glad you watched it so please do. This is really life in Kirksville http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcCEnxRAm3o

So this is when our little boy first started eating real foods. He has been eating real food for several months now. But for some reason blogging just seemed like a big effort. Isn't he so dang cute. You can see that we didn't have a high chair so we had to feed him in what ever he could sit in. Now we have a high chair and it is much easier.

My brother Chad and his family w/ Betsy and I. We hiked to Bucking Mule falls up in the bighorns. The falls were alot bigger than the picture looks. Either way we had a lot of fun. I even got to carry Wyatt back most of the way. It sure is good to be around family isn't it?

This is my dad and my little niece. We went up to the Bighorns for a few days w/ some of my family over the summer. It was alot of fun to be w/ them and it was beautiful as always. We saw a black bear and several elk and moose. It was great to be back west in the mtns. We love it in Missouri, but there aren't any mtns. Dad sure makes a good jungle gym doesn't he?

Grama Wyoming enjoying some time w/ her little grandson. It was so much fun getting to see everyones love for our little guy. Grama is so good w/ him and hopefully w/ our move back to Logan, they will be able to play more together.

So I am putting tons of pictures up today so I quit getting so much crap from everyone for not keeping our blog up to date. He sure brings a lot of love and happiness into our life. It is so much fun to have a little buddy to play w/. Betsy and I are always in need of more people to play w/.

It was so much fun to see my nephews (Logan & Wyatt) and niece (Braidy sp?) w/ our little Lucas. It was so fun being up there in Gillette for a few days over the summer. We had a ton of fun and Lucas is so loved. He loved being read to by his cousins

So this is when we went through Kemmerer, WY and got to see our good friends, Harv and Linda, and Nona and Josh. It was good to catch up w/ them. It will be fun to be closer to them again.

The beginning of a great ride. Yes you may notice that Nate and I have the same bikes, we have the same road bikes too and are proud of it. We look really cute when we're riding down the trail/road on matching bikes.

Nate and Betsy playing in the water. I guess we all let our hair down when we get together. This trail was up Alpine Canyon (I think). It was fantastic. I think we did this in mid June. Is it a wonder we wanted to go back to UT for a couple years?
