A few snapshots of our recent days....

I may live in Wyoming but my heart will always be with the beautiful mountains I grew up surrounded by. Here is a view we cought of Ben Lomond peak on Christmas morning.

Johnny wanted to play camera man one day while I was at work so Tom set up the tripod and let him go at it. These are some of my favorites. Look and those guns!! Love ya babe!

Johnny FINALLY modeling the robe I made him for Christmas. It took about a month before he would even lets us try it on him. Now he likes it and will bring it to us to help put it on. He is still working on learning how to tie the sash.

So for all who may not have heard, we had another fussy visitor in our home.

This litte (maybe not so little) squirel some how found its way into our home a couple of weeks ago. This is the second one to get in in the last year. We thought we knew how the first one get in but we have no clue how this one got in. I called the animal control and laughed with the officer as she remembered coming to get the first one.

I waited for an hour before I decided I didn't want him in our house any longer. While trying to devise a plan on how to get him out I looked around our storage room and realized the windows in that room don't have screens. So it was as simple as opening a window and tapping him with the end of the broom and he was gone....for now.

And the Little Stinker Strikes again. Danny loves to pull the TP off the roll! Here is my favorite "caught red handed" picture. Notice the piece in his mouth... he was eating it when I found him. Guess I should learn to keep the bathroom door closed.

Danny's other favorite thing is the vaccum! He will chase it around, stopping to sit right in front of it or grabing the cord so I can't get very far.

With the chilly Wyoming winds we decided we should make sure we know how to use our fireplace in case of emergency. Tom showed us how to warm up the chimney before starting the fire. And then we got to enjoy. There is something comfortable about a fire. We are hoping that with our tax returns we can get some doors (to help keep out the smoke at the end of the fire and to keep the heat of the house from escaping when its not boing used) and put a new tile face on the fireplace.

One of the reasons that prompted the use of the fireplace. We woke one cold morning to find frost on the inside of our kitchen window. We hope to replace it soon too.
