Same OLD, Same OLD...
Life is about the same here. Every day is pretty quiet on my end, sometimes endless days and long evenings with only a cell phone to hear another person's voice...but I keep busy and I find life pretty enjoyable (lonely, yes, but still enjoyable). On Brent's end, endless days of work and then more work...but I told him the other day that this is what will keep him young. If he stops, he'll just age and then get old.
Speaking of old...Yes, it's true...even the best get old! My son in law was the first to tease me about being old...but I thought he was just kidding...cause you know, I don't feel old. But the other day when we were out driving and we snapped a picture of the two of us together (rare occasion, I know) I thought, "Who are those old folks in the picture!" So ya, I guess we are getting old, but you're only as old as you act or feel, so I guess that makes us young!
Ok, so I switched pictures...cause I think that one made us look older than we really are...so, I chose these!

Weekend...
On General Conference Weekend in October, our friends Troy and Jennifer Dye just LOVE to go to our cabin! It has become a tradition since way back when Jacob was a young teenager. They plan the trip and are good enough to invite us along! They bring their motorcycles along and have fun on them and it is always fun to go see all the beautiful leaves that are turning and feel the cool crisp air! We also had some other good friends up there camping just down from our cabin, Dennis and Jerrilee Brower and their family, who happen to be good friends with the Dyes also, so it was a fun weekend!

Mammoth Hot Springs
On Sunday, we took a drive up to Mammoth Hot Springs to see the Elk. It is their mating season and the big bulls are in the rutt, and they all come right down into the town and take over! They are everywhere and it is so interesting to see, as well as the hot springs themselves!

There are signs all over and Park Rangers abundantly, to make sure you don't get too close to the Elk.
How would you like this bull's harem in your back yard?
This guy was about 10 feet from the road, and no Park Rangers around!
They are on the roads, in the parks, near the homes, just everywhere!
These were on the front sidewalk of the Elementary School...and yes, the droppings you see are also EVERYWHERE in the town...it is covered in poop!

House Pics...
This is mostly for Grandma and Tess who ask about the house and aren't able to see it upon completion. I know Clint and Katie have been way too busy to get some pictures posted, so hope it's all right if I post them here. (I guess since Brent and I do a lot of the work too, they can't mind!) Here are the promised updated house pics. It changes daily, but as of last night....
