Elle the Disciplinarian and Home


Uh oh, somebody's in trouble. I came into the bathroom, and found Elle's animals in the corner....I asked her and she said, they were being so bad. They have to have time out! Then she said they were being nice again and happily posed with them.







Here are Audrey and Reese tonight, Audrey was already in her p.j.s, They are both looking so grown up to me!



So in the title, when I said home, this is what I meant. Last night Sam and I watched " A River Runs Through It " It's pretty much my favorite movie, not only because the fly fishing reminds me of my Grandpa, Dad and Brothers, but because the movie is filmed in Missoula Montana on the Blackfoot River. This movie almost always makes me cry a little, not just because of the sad ending but because seeing the area that's near my home tugs my heart strings.... These are pictures of the Clark Fork River, which we cross about 15 times heading home, and the Blackfoot River, that we also follow a bit along the way through Montana.








This is my Grandpa Livingston, he was a Forrest Ranger and avid fly fisher. He passed away when I was only three. I know him only through stories and other's memories....



This is an aerial shot of a smaller part of the Coeurd'Alene River. On the bigger parts, we love to go floating and fishing.








This is a shot from Tubs Hill, it's a hiking trail that juts out above Lake Coeurd'Alene. It's right downtown and we always loved to go and jump off the rocks in the summertime. Sometimes I'm not sure how I can last in (Utah) this dry place!
