Montana Grizzly Encounter

There is this Montana Grizzly Encounter thing right off the freeway not far from Bozeman. We have all drove by it tons of times, but nobody I know had actually been inside. So Mom, Andrea, Cash and I went to check it out today. It's home to 5 grizzly bears that have been rescued from various situations. They have 2 cubs there that are 3 years old (they are the ones in the pictures) and also 2 adult females and 1 male Brutus that is apparently their claim to fame. He has been in many Discovery channel documentarys they said. They rotate the cubs and the adults out at different times during the day. We were there earlier in the day so the cubs were the ones out. We lunched in Livingston and walked around in the downtown they have then headed back to see the adult griz. There was road construction near the "encounter" so the adults had yet to be released. We did manage to convince Doris who was working the front gates (manually I may add...) to give us a rain check of sorts to allow us back in to see the famous Brutus. I will post those pictures when we go back. It was fun being tourists for the day!

Happy Birthday to BJ

Monday was BJ's Birthday. We had nut cake on Sunday at Mom and Dads. I didn't have candles so we improvised and he had a Yankee candle on top :) We were able to sneak out for a movie, Public Enemies last night. Mom and Dad came over to watch Cash.

8 Months

Where does the time go?? I know I say it every month...I can't believe how big he is getting!! Time goes way too fast for sure. Not too much to update in the last month. He is still trying to crawl, but no big movements yet. He is getting good at his yoga poses (like downward dog..) but hasn't quite figured out how to move his arms and legs at the same time. He is close to cutting his first tooth. It's right under the gums, and I am waiting for it to pop thru any day now.
He had his first ear infection last week. Poor guy was having a rough week between the teething and the ear infection. He is just finishing up his amoxicilian (not sure how to spell that!) and he is feeling lots better I can tell.

this is what you get when you ask Uncle Justin and BJ to watch Cash...

4th of July

We have been anticipating this holiday as being a little diffrent because this year the boys had joined the crew. Dad usually makes a few sparkler bombs that get lit off in the culvert at Mom and Dads house. We always go over and have fried chicken and ranch potato salad before fireworks. This year was more diffrent that we had all anticipated. Mom and Dad had to go down to California the week before because Grandpa Bob was not doing well. Sadly, he passed away on the 4th of July.

We all minus Mom and Dad met up at their house for the usual celebration. The boys did pretty well with staying up past bed times. We took lots of pictures for Mom and Dad to see when they get back into town. Hope everyone had a good 4th!
