Aunt Nikii took on the task of cutting Reid's hair. it was easier than we expected considering how much he likes to move!!!! A sucker and the freedom of spinning on the table seemed to work.

Reid had some beautiful curls but he was starting to look "girly" so it was time for them to go....

Handsome!!!!! The haircut grew on me after a while and he is cuter than ever!!!

That's a calfs tail I have in my hands.....so it won't kick me because I'm shoving it in the butt to go through the shoot to get branded and have shots.......I'm so mean!!!! It really was a lot of fun. However, I wouldn't want to make a job out of it!!!!

The mud hole on branding day.....lots of fun!!! and splashes

working in the yard for Grandma....

A lap full of love for Grampa....Amelia seems to be opening up to the idea that Grampa's belly comes in handy for a pillow sometimes!!

A couch full of FUN.....

Aunt Nikii entertaining Reid with lots of bubbles!!!!

We have temporarily left the land of northern lights, snow forts, antler hunting and cross country skiing. Now we are making mud pies, riding bikes and branding calves. Idaho is great as always. Amelia is really enjoying her three cousins and Reid got his first good taste of dirt today......he didn't seem to like it as much as the sand in Hawaii......The grass is getting green and I picked a handful of yellow daffadils today on the 5 mile walk with Grampa. Will keep you all posted on the happenings!!!!

Driving tractor with Aunt Nikii

Amelia and a REAL COWBOY....Uncle Aaron!!!!

Amelia and Ty riding the trailer of hay bales while we went along to feed the cows yesterday......It was fun to watch her expression as the cows were running along eating the hay right out of the bales next to her.

Amelia hugging Austin with Aunt Nikii (Lance's sister). She won't let go of Austin when he is around and he's not quite sure what to do about that......

Amelia sandwiched between Ty and Michael. they are both accepting all of her hugs and kisses quite well. Ty is going to be 6 years old next week and they get along great. He is here at Grandma's all day on Tuesday and Thursday.
