Weston has basically been MIA this summer, he is taking a class in Pocatello on Saturdays from 8-5 (crappy), he studies in the morning before work and at least 2-3 hours after work. Lucky for him he is not alone in this misery and has a friend doing the same thing so they study together. Un-Lucky for me is that he has no time to manage his irrigating so this has become my duty. We rent a piece of ground about a mile down the road for pasture for some of our cows, it is all flood irrigated. Usually once a day sometimes twice I drag a couple neighbor kids with me to change the water. The pasture runs right along the river and it is gorgeous, we almost always see wildlife including deer, moose, rockchucks and a bald eagle that has a big nest. Usually this is a good experience for all minus a few times when we got stuck, couldn't stop a massive flow of water, just minor mishaps like that. One day we found a turtle it was super cool and pretty big for what we have around here. We brought it home and kept it in a bucket for a few days to show off to all our friends. (P.S. That tiny blue bucket is not what we kept it in it had a much larger home.)
Cole really liked the turtle and was concerned that it was hungry, one morning before he woke up I had put some old lettuce in the bucket to see if the turtle would eat it. When Cole went out to check on his turtle he came in the house and said "Mom, thank you for making a salad for my turtle". What a cute boy!!

Ummm....will you please do all of us Salt Lake residents a favor, and let us know when you are down here driving on the freeway next time! Yikes! ;-) Or I would be happy to be your chauffeur to save hundreds of lives. =) Glad to see the update! Can't believe how big your kids are getting. What cuties!
