Moooooo. As you can see, Cambria was ecstatic to meet her first cow up close. Hey look, her little hand would fit right inside the cow's nostril! So this was a couple weeks ago on July 31 when Jake and the baby and I took a day trip with Brittney and her baby, and Bree and Cassity to Grace, Idaho. It was a lovely time! We all packed in Britt's mini van, drove to Logan and stopped for a yummy lunch at the Bluebird, and then arrived at the Toone Dairy Farm that afternoon. We had just enough time to visit with Uncle Sherm and Aunt Peggy and cousins, and take a walk around the farm to see what's new. You can't visit the farm without stopping by the milk room to see how the udder-emptying process is going...
This is where the magic happens. When I walked in there to say hi to a cow, one of the mechanical milking machines started squirting milk my way, but it stopped long enough for Jake to get in a picture.
This is the maternity pen, where that new little baby calf behind me was born that morning. Awww double mother daughter picture. (Actually I don't know if it was a girl calf, but we'll pretend). 
"Scuse me, Dad...we're gonna be late for the wedding if we don't get inside and get changed. I've seen enough cows for one day."So the whole reason for driving up to Idaho that day was because my cousin, Eric was getting married. It was a nice time for our whole family to get together and visit, to dress up the babies, and to enjoy a nice wedding by the lake.
Notice Cambria's arm, extended straight out at Ariana's face. They sure looked cute!
Here's some of the fam, waiting for the ceremony to start. It was by a lake in Soda Springs, and the bride quietly rode in on a motor boat, which was a first for me to see!
There was one person that wasn't watching, though. She was fast asleep when the wedding started...
And then she suddenly awoke. "Where AM I and who are these people??"
We took a little family photo during the reception. It was such a beautiful evening!
The moms posed with their babies....me and Cam, my cousin Claire and little Spencer, and Britt and Ari. They're all within weeks of each other.
Cambria decided that standing isn't so bad, and might just start walking before we're ready for her! (We still have time, thank goodness).
She chatted with Ari while Bree and Cassity were holding them. Oh look, they're all matching! 
Anyways, it was a fun trip, and we arrived safely home that night after stopping in Preston for a raspberry shake at Big J's...the very one that Napoleon Dynamite frequented. :)
