London Visit

Here are some shots from Grandma and Grandpa London's visit:

Gunnar and Daddy for their first Father's Day:
Nick and his Dad fabricated a gate for our garden so now we are able to let the chickens and goats graze the newly replanted pasture:
Here is Nick and Darnelle at the Resort At The Mountain golf course. During their stay they manage to get in 3 outings and a good time was had by all:

It was a wonderful visit and we very much look forward to the day they are in-state.

Up for air

Things have been busy as ever at Londonacres. The Tulsa Londons are wrapping up a wonderful visit with the new grandbaby. We cannot thank them enough for all the sunshine that seems to have followed them out here. I have been super busy with the kiddo but promise to upload some pics soon of their trip.

In the meantime..here is a shot of me and Gunnar hiking last week. Please note I use the term "hiking" loosely. There are some new trails on the BLM land near our house but we mainly stuck to the granny loop and lower walk abouts.


Here is a shot of Gunnar waking from a nap on Monday. I think that is when he is the most precious...

Home on the range

Yesterday Nick went to visit Cascade Buffalo Ranch, meet the rancher and pick out a bison for us. In our attempt to eat better and more responsibly we have gone in with a couple of friends on half of a bison.

The ranch was beautiful and Nick brought home some steaks, blueberry summer sausage and ground patties to get us through until ours will be finished processing in July.

The rancher has an abandoned calf right now which Nick was able to actually pet!

Wind Down

My mom left yesterday to return to Tulsa. Here is a great pics I snapped Tues evening. It is like everyone knew she was leaving. Lap space at a premium!


Here was the big man relaxing on Tuesday:

Notice the leg fat roll! I weighed him on the bathroom scale today and it was registering him at 7.5lbs. If he keeps this up he will be a linebacker in no time! I have yet to measure him yet but can tell he is continuing to sprout up as well.

Major milestone today - he is finally big enough for his cloth diapers! So much nicer to have cotton on his bum. We are currently trying the newborn GMD prefolds and Bummis from Green Mountain Diapers.

Also, in baby stuff we got a wipe warmer today - woo hoo! We use cloth wipes as well and were wasting so much water waiting for it to warm up each wipe. This is a much better solution.

Happiness Is...

Here is a pic of Gunnar napping this afternoon. You can tell he is getting so big, taking up much more of the moses basket:

Home Cookin'

The critters are LOVING having my mom in the kitchen full time spoiling us! Here is grandma and her entourage:

Rock and Roll

With Grandma Janice here to help with the kiddo Nick has had a chance to tackle some projects around the property.

With some of the river rock he rocked off the front "flower bed" area of the house:

And just for fun we now have a new rock stack by the driveway:
