Tyler and the Near Miss


Tyler Making a Tackle Against Worland

Number 70, Tyler is making a great tackle after the coaches switched him to playing defense.  He did well with two tackles and a near miss.  I only got one tackle on tapes.

Labor Day in Burlington





Tyler is currently playing tackle football with the Greybull Recreation District.  So far he loves it and I think he will do well.  The middle pictures were taken east of Greybull out near the Dinosaur Tracks.  Julia knew of an abandoned ant hill where the ants had brought up small fossilized starfish along with the pebbles (middle pictures).  
We also caught, photographed and released a little horn toad I haven't seen one of these in many years.  The kids really wanted to make a pet out of it.  
And finally, the bottom picture is of Tyler's first rabbit.  We were out plinking a few miles from the house when he spotted the rabbit about forty yards across the canal.  The first shot went high but the second met its mark.

Kissing a Deer Last Night


Tyler and I were just leaving Cody on our way back to Burlington when a doe and a fawn decided to walk right into our lane while we were going 60 mph.  I hit the breaks and tried to go between both of them just clipping the back end of the doe.  Fortunately for us, we didn't hit her head on.  Returning to the seen, the doe was no where to be found. 

The second photo I took just out of Worland Wyoming this morning on the way to work.  In time we as a family may be moving to this area.  From where I took the picture you could see two corn fields, an alfalfa field, and some sugar beets.

Out With The Old, In With The New


Recently we had to move into our new abode the (trailer house) in the first picture from the gray house in the bottom picture.  Going from a 4 bedroom 1 bath house to a 2 bedroom 1 bath has required a bit of downsizing but we did it.  Renting a portable storage container became a necessity because the closest mini storage is 25 miles from Burlington.  Even though the new abode is small, we are happy.  Rentals are hard to come by in the area.

And That's The Way They Became The Bean Field Bunch





Starting in mid July, Sheila, Julia, and Tyler went to work weeding bean fields here in Burlington Wyoming.  In a couple of weeks they cleared at least 40 acres of beans within two miles of the house.  As for me, I have worked in the fields a little due to the fact that I have been working for Aflac over the past three weeks.
