Well September has come and gone!! Now for October!!! We have a pretty busy month ahead!! This weekend is Mommys first weekend off in practically forever! But she won't be able to spend any time with Me and Daddy, cuz she has to go on field trips for her classes. She's even going to be late for my friend Greg's birthday party on Saturday (he's turning 1!!). Then next weekend is the CSU Homecoming, and Mommy gets to BE IN the Parade!! She is walking with the other Rangers from Larimer County, and I can't wait to see her!! They are making a float and everything!! Then the weekend after that - WE GO TO INDY FOR A VISIT!!! I'm so happy!! I haven't seen Grandma Wilson and Aunt Anna in such a long time!! And I get to see Uncle Rodger too!! It's going to be so much fun!! Then not too long after that is Halloween!! We still haven't gotten me a costume yet. I think I'm going to be Yoda, but we'll have to see!!

Daddy's gone on his trip this week. Mommy and I miss him already!! It's lonely here in the evenings without him. But he'll be back on Friday, and maybe even early on Friday!! Come home soon Daddy!!

Oh yeah, and Mommy wants me to tell everyone that she's a firefighter now!! She got to put out her first wildfire last weekend. It was started by lightning on some property near the reservoir (ironically on one of our Ranger's land). It was only a brush fire about 20 or so yards in diameter, so her boss told her to get a shovel and put it out - so she did!! One of the supervisors helped her, and they had it about 50% contained by the time the Firefighters Brush Truck got there!! Yeah Mommy!! Here's some pictures of the Wildlands Fire Crew putting it out (after Mommy did all the work!! hehehe.

Hi there everyone!! Sorry for the delayed update!! We have been very busy the past couple of weeks. Daddy went on his trip, and made it back ok, and he only has 1 more trip to take this year!! Yeah!!! (well really it's 2 trips rolled into one, but oh well) He's going next week to LA for a day, and then directly to Branson Missouri for the rest of the week. Thank goodness this will be it!!
Grandma Wilson made it through her surgery just fine, and everything seems to be working according to plan!! Also, Mommy is still working at Horsetooth. They liked her so much they asked her to stay all winter!!! She said that it would only be on weekends, and mostly she would be working in the gatehouse. But she wanted to spend more time with me and Daddy, so they agreed to let her work only every other weekend, and share the position with someone else. So it works out perfectly!!
Also, I got to meet some of my Mommy's family this week. I met my Great-Uncles Bud and PJ, and my Great-Aunts Elaine and Cindy!! They met us in Old Town last week for dinner, and this week Mommy and I went up to the cabin to see them. I had fun at the cabin, except for the part where I fell out the door and bonked my head!! But I got to play dominoes with Aunt Cindy, and play peek-a-boo out the window with Aunt Elaine. We took a hike to the waterfall, and ran into an angry nest of yellow jackets!! Poor Aunt Elaine and Uncle Bud got the worst of them!! Here's some pictures of our visit:
Uncle Bud, Aunt Cindy, Aunt Elaine and me at the falls
(hehe - I already have all the ladies' attention!!)
Me and Uncle PJ
(Mommy says I have to beat up on him now while I'm still little enough - cuz when I get older he's gonna get me!!)

And one more thing - a while ago Daddy took me and his friend Shane off-roading at Kelly Flats to attempt to conquer a tough section of trail called the chutes. Well, he did it, but forgot to take a camera or video camera to prove it!! So thankfully someone there got it on tape and finally sent it to Daddy. We put the video up for everyone to see, but be forewarned - it's not for the squeamish!! (oh, and don't worry, I was standing outside with Shane, not in the Jeep with Daddy!!)

Hey everyone, Just a quick note today, nothing big going on here! Mommy took me to see the lady that does her hair today, and she found my head!! (ha ha she just gave me a haircut!!) Mommy was getting frustrated with my hair, she said I was beginning to look like one of the Beatles!! You can decide - here's a before picture:
and here's the after:
Now my hair is shorter than Piper's, and it was longer than Mowgli's!! hehe!!
Not much else is going on. But I want everyone to pray for my Grandma Wilson - She's having some surgery done tomorrow. It's not anything really major, and she should be home by Friday, but keep her in you thoughts! I can't wait to see her next month!! Talk to ya all later!!

So the videos are up now!! It isn't all of the ones we took, but you can get an idea of what our trip was like!! Like I said they are all of our drive up Imogene pass, or of the train ride. And Mommy wants to say sorry for taping through a buggy windshield!!

I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend!! We did. Mommy had to work, so Daddy and I went with her!! haha, we hiked up to the top of Horsetooth Rock. Mommy was going to come too, but along the way she found someone breaking the rules and had to take care of him. But Daddy and I made it all the way to the top!! 2.5 miles, and almost 2,000 ft of elevation change!! I'm so proud of Daddy for carrying me all the way to the top!!

Not much else going on, Mommy says that I get to meet my Great-Aunt Elaine and Great-Uncle PJ, and maybe a bunch more family in a couple of weeks!! That would be so exciting!! I can't believe that there's still people out there that I don't know!! And next week Daddy's going on a work trip to Virginia. I will miss him a bunch, and so will Mommy. Well, have a fun weekend everyone, and don't forget to watch our videos!!
