Well, here it goes, wish me good fortune in my efforts to be better about updating our blog. Above is a picture of the gnarly tree outside our west facing window. Below is a picture of the window of our house through which the tree can be viewed.



Well, that darn moose is kind-of in the way. Our neighbors took these pictures of a cow and her calf last week, hanging out by the hot-springs:





This place really is blessed with beauty. Keep an eye out for more updates! Love to friends and family from Damon and Kiera.

Ella's Baptism 8/9/09

Here's a slideshow from Ella's baptism. She has changed so much since our last visit. Reagan Mae, you are getting so big too! Can't wait to spend more time with these precious babies!

Frank Butler & Annie Oakley

The ranch has two new barn kitties, Frank & Annie. Frank is all white with orange stripes on his tail and the tips of his ears. Annie is gray with white spots. They are so small (8wks.) that they are members of the Gibbons household for a couple of weeks. Red has taken to them, and is a good surrogate daddy. He shares his bed and gives them baths. In return they let him eat all their food when Damon & I aren't looking!

Visit w/ ReaMae & EllaK

Caleb and I drove up to Laramie to meet Ella & Reagan Mae (Me for the first time!) It was a great visit with family, See Amanda preggers (So Cute!) and awesome to see everyone, especially Shelly!

Wagon Train April 09

What a great experience, we had a great time with Papa too! We didn't get many pics on our camera, so I am waiting for another wagoneer to send a CD with bunches of photos, and I'll post 'em then. :) Our prayers have been with Peter, Cassie & Ella, who was born on Good Friday (April 10th) at 5lb. 4oz. We can't wait to come visit our newest niece!

Pair of Jacks Wedding

On March 28, 2009, My mom and Jack were married. It was a beautiful wedding, a beautiful day, and just beautiful to have all the family together. They were married on our one year anniversary, so it was extra special for Damon & I. :)

Visit with Cassie & Peter

This past weekend, Damon, Red & I drove up to Laramie to spend time with Cassie & Peter. We stopped in Ft. Collins and had lunch with Jennifer. On Saturday, we spent some time at Vedauwoo, and then did a small photo shoot so y'all can see cute lil prego Cassie :). Thanks for a fun weekend you two!
