Monticello so far

It has been so great to be back! And I have to admit, I think I could live here. Yeah, there is one grocery store, one stop light, and I think only one gas station, but there is a certain feeling to country life that I find I enjoy.Triton has found one of his favorite things is to run with the laundry around the clothes line. Have you ever noticed how clothes dried on the line smell better than those dried in the dryer?

I guess its just the smell of clean air that can't be duplicated.

Triton has also decided that its pretty funny to wear his shirt like this.

One of the best things about Monticello is that it is situated right against the Abajo or Blue Mountains. This is one of my favorite places called Dalton Springs. This is the Monticello, UT temple. It is the first of the smaller temples our church built. I am happy to say I was present at the dedication, actually inside the temple, and it is still noted as one of my favorite experiences. And then of course, there is our farm. Yes, I am a farmer's daughter. This is a shot from our place looking toward the mountain. Triton and I in the wheatBeing attacked in the wheat

Deciding I'd had enough and leaving him alone in the wheatAnd at last, he's happy.

Here is my brother Craig giving Triton his first taste of raw wheat. Which he willingly tried because uncle "diddy" which I think is supposed to be Craigy, gave it to him. Raw wheat is actually really great. This time it was particularly good becuase it was still in the chewy phase before it dries out.

Triton's favorite thing is riding the tractor. Which because Craig can drive the tractor, has made him Triton's favorite person. And upon closer inspection,

Im pretty sure that Craig thinks Triton is pretty awesome too.

Of course, life wouldn't be complete without trying to get a group shot with the arm extended trick. Finally, I think we got it.
