Milo learning to walk

Milo and Cubby the cat on an August evening.

June 2011

"Gramps" - he can do a bit of everything!!

Milo and Grandma Lu sharing a moment...

 The Farm at sunset.

May Update

The bathroom project is finally finished!

A big thank you to all who helped (you know who you are)!

Before

 We replaced the shower unit with a tub/shower combo.

 After

It didn't take long for Milo to discover the toilet paper :)

Corn planting...Milo enjoyed all the buttons!

 Grandma Lu with two of her boys...Koral came for a week long visit. 

Milo was able to catch up with his cousins, Jasper and Lincoln.

 First time to lick off the beaters...

Unfortunately the old "grease trap" was smack-dab under the concrete pad in

front of the garage...we had to tear it up to re-do the septic system.  

We poured concrete when it wasn't raining (which seems a rare occurrence these days). 

  A double rainbow...the most brilliant one we've seen yet!!

Our little helper...

Funny video

First attempt at a video post...  Milo was getting a kick out of this song but it was about the tenth time through and he was starting to look for the next big thing.

April 2011

Here's the latest!  Milo has aged another three months and a few other things have happened.  April marked the end of calving and the beginning of spring.  Here are some picture of this year's calf crop being branded.  It was a great crew and the weather was good.  This year there were enough ropers that we were able to leave the rope on the heals and only had to hold the head.

Brock holds the head while Duane brands.  Shot givers here are Jordana Nesvog and Hana Klosterman.

The coffee break crew!  Front to back: Hattie Lerwick, Kosha Lerwick, Megan Lerwick and Carol Johnson.

Four at a time!  The ropers were showing their stuff at this point.  R-L wrestlers are Landon Lerwick, John Miller and Brock.  Mike Klosterman (father of Hana) is between John and Brock.  Stuart Hoar's daughter Riata is the roper against the gate.  Stuart has been roping at our branding for almost ten years now and is a big reason why we went back to roping.

6 months old

Goodbye Berniece!  We'll miss you.

New moves...

Now he's able to stand and look out the bedroom window!

First attempt with 'solids'....

Happy again in the ExerSaucer :)

New shoes...

Kristy let us borrow some of Coen's cool clothes...check out these shoes!

I think he'll have outgrown them by the time he can walk - he'll enjoy them in the ExerSaucer tho!

January 2011

A Sunday afternoon nap.

Visiting Berneice

Milo was in the living room under the rain forest -
this was the grin I got when I peeked in to check on him.  He's enjoying "tummy time" more these days.
