Out of School

My visit to Mom's grave via my dad and siblings and niece.

Dan and I went running up Bates Canyon and found lots of sheep.  We couldn't find the "one" but we found all the other 99!  Elle handled herself in a very dignified manner and never chased after any of them although I think they expected she would.

Ryan clipping Wedges nails--good idea before he mates his rabbits this week :)

The boys all came to my clinic for a lunch time break last week.  I electrocuted all of them.

Nathan kept my colleague's son entertained, too.  He tried to fit in the box like Jacob had done but I'm happy to say Nathan has grown a bit and truly does not fit in the box.

Thursday we went down to Provo to visit Lukas--such a cute boy, and his parents.  Nate stayed for a few days.  Friday he sent me a text saying that this was the same weekend he stayed with Erik and Ashley last year.  They realized as they were collecting their free donut at Krispy Kreme for National Donut Day that they had done the same thing last year.

Grandma with her baby.

That same night we had a Trek family get together to hike up Bates Canyon.  We passed a much larger snake earlier in our hike but he/she was harmless but this little one is a timber rattler.  We moved on quickly :)

We painted Elle's nails blue then Dan decided they needed to be more specific so he painted BYU on them.  

We went for an evening walk and decided to share our school-spirited dog's nails with our staunch U of U fan neighbor (I think there are more U fans than Y fans in our neighborhood--at least they are more demonstrative).  Our UofU-sport-shirt-donned neighbor was a little distressed about the painted nails until he realized Elle is a girl.  After chatting a bit (by this I mean a long bit), he realized he hadn't shared any A&W mugs with us (his family use to own many A&W restaurants) so we walked home with several large mugs and a few small ones, too.  The boys were super excited because their favorite snack is dipping graham crackers in milk and my glasses are just not the right size.  Well A&W mugs are perfect!!!

One can even triple dip!!
