Our Fun Trip

Hello everyone! We've made it back from our 3 week vacation. It was wonderful and relaxing! The first week I spent with all you lovely people in beautiful California. Apparantly Trayton and Tustin did perfectly well without me. Never cried or whined for me or "dad". I wonder, is that good or bad?? :) I enjoyed going to the beach-- although I got an awful sunburn on my legs.

I went to the movies with Mom and Dad twice! I felt so loved being pampered by my dear mother everyday! I went to the temple with Ezra, Mom and Dad. Getting my fill of temple trips before little Tacker/Trekker arrives.

Then on Wednesday, Tiff and I went to Mary's "music makers." And hung out all day with Debbie. We had a lot of fun talking and watching the kids.
I also had the neat opportunity to see little Hannah be blessed. I had so much fun getting to know all my little nieces and nephews and spending time with them.

Every morning Mom and I went walking and enjoyed the views of Via Monserate. Since I've left, Timmy has taken on the walking routine with Mom, so I've heard! :)


So, sadly I had to leave, but I was very anxious to see my little ones again!! I don't think I could have been one more day without them. I drove straight to Salmon from Salt Lake. I know where I'm supposed to be- I'm a mother. So, they never really whined or cried for me, so they must have been doing just fine. Adam (Travis' youngest brother) later told me that Trayton and Tustin woke up early one morning, found a jar of peanut butter and spread it all over the living room furniture!! Oy, that must've been frustrating. I'm kind of glad I wasn't there!! Hehe.

We went "branding" which is the act of branding cattle with a hot iron. A few people get on horse back and rope the little calves to the "branding area" and then someone holds them down while they are clipped (in the ear), branded and then given shots- like a vaccine (no Trayton is not giving the shot in this picture!). There was a fire going and some marshmallows. So Trayton kept burning the marshmallows and giving them to grampa Kevin. He must of burnt half a bag of marshmallows!
And here's one more picture of these cute Keller kids.

Love the pictures of the boys Nettie. They are so cute! I like the Keller family picture. It is so pretty there. Hopefully you and Travis will move there someday so you'll be close enough to visit more often. (We'd come see you!) I'm excited for you to have the new baby soon!

I've heard it's really beautiful in Alaska too and it's just as easy for you to come visit us from Alaska as from Idaho. Idaho might be a little bit warmer though!
