When we lived in CA I couldn't get Jameson to feed any of the animals at the barn that we use to go to, yesterday at the State Fair we couldn't get him to stop feeding and petting the animals. He got to feed the goats, touch a turtle, feed a pot belly pig, and watch Daddy get attacked by a camel! Peyton and Jameson had a great time!

Montana State Fair
We went to the Montana State Fair yesterday and had a blast! The first thing that we did was to go and see the horse races!! This was not only Jameson's first time to see the races but also mine! The horses were beautiful!

Housing Update
So after about 100 homes we finally found one that was reasonable priced and needed a little work, not a ton. For those of you that have never bought a house in MT let me tell you it is an experience that I wish on no one. After speaking to people who are from Great Falls we have figured this much out: everyone here feels that they can overprice their homes, that they will not negotiate a discount, to ask for 2% less than asking is, according to "my" real estate agent, a "kick in the teeth", that I act too much like I am trying to buy a used car and I need to be about the house and not the deal (another wonderful comment from "my" real estate agent), not one home under $200K does not need some kind of work and that people out here can't understand why there are so many homes (326 in just our price range of $140K to $175K) and none of them are selling!!!
With that said we did find a great home! We have a huge back yard, a master suite (which out here is an actual luxury!), and it just needs a new kitchen (we don't have a dishwasher!). I don't have pictures yet but I will soon!
We close a week from today (August 4th) and I can't wait!

Jameson's 1st friend in Montana
Jameson met a boy named Zander the other day in TLF! The two of them had so much fun the first day... ok Zander was hitting Jameson with a stick by the end of their play time, but boys will be boys! The next day Zander had his power wheel out and Jameson hopped a ride!

Vegas at Night
We spent a night at Freemont Street in Vegas. I was amazed at the amount of families that were there. We had so much fun. They had a live band/singer on every block and Jameson couldn't "cut a rug" fast enough.

Las Vegas... our second stop
Our first stop in Vegas was Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. Jameson at first wasn't sure of the waves from the boats but then we couldn't get him out of the water! We took a boat ride from one side of Lake Mead to the Hoover Dam. Peyton and I had a nice time but it was too hot for Jameson! One of the views of the area surrounding Lake Mead! I could have taken pictures all day of the area. It was so different- sometime you would see the red color and sometimes the rocks were white or even black.
We finally had to take Jameson inside and get him a snack! I absolutely love this picture of him!

Raspberry Picking
For our last weekend in California Peyton and I took Jameson raspberry picking. We had so much! I think Jameson ate more than he put in the basket, but he enjoyed every minute of it! After we picked the raspberries we stopped and saw a bunch of minature ponies! Jameson had a blast checking them out! Notice the raspberries on his cheek!!

Corn on the cob
So I might have posted corn on the cob pictures before but lately if we want Jameson to eat a vegetable we normally turn to corn on the cob! He eats the whole thing and loves every minute of it!! He saw it on the counter the other day before it was even cooked and he wanted it!!

I don't think that I really need to say much! These pictures are probably my favorite from this summer so far!
