Branding Cows!
A few times a year we go to Jim's folks place, with most of his family, and help brand the cows. Well, I should say he helps brand the cows, I usually just watch. I have been know to give a few shots, or pull the shoot, but mostly I just hang out and watch everyone else work. I can't ride the horses because I'm allergic to them. I think I'm allergic to the cows too. So I just don't touch any of them. It's just easier that way. So anyway, this last weekend just happened to be a branding weekend. Sage's first branding weekend, and her first nights away from home. I was anxious to see how she would handle it, and I'm sad to say that she didn't do too good. Too many new things, I think. She did ok, nothing terrible, but it wasn't her regular routine, and it has thrown her off quite a bit. She was quite a little stinker for her dad yesterday. I think he was wanting to quit his "daddy day care" job by the time i got home. It's funny how soon these little babies can get in a routine and used to their surroundings.

A Hard Day...
Monday was a hard day for me.
First of all, I had to go back to work. It was pretty hard to leave my little girl, but it helped knowing that she was staying home with daddy. They got along pretty well that first day, but the days seem to be getting harder as the week goes on. Hang in there honey! It will get better....I hope :)
Second thing, my daddy started his cancer treatments that same day. That was a sad thing to have to think about all day. I guess it really should be a good thing because it is helping him get better, but it dashed my spirits none the less. I've always thought of my dad as invincible, but sadly enough I have found that to not quite be true as the years go by. He's human just like anyone else. I remember the time he cut off parts of his fingers. You would think he had cut off his whole arm by the way I reacted. Anyway, he is doing fine so far. I know it will be harder for him as the weeks go on, but I know he will have lots of prayers going his way. Plus, he and mom are "living" in sunny St. George (well, actually Hurricane) so that's a bit of a plus, and he is getting to do lots of 4-wheeler riding with his brothers. I know he loves that. Hang in there dad - I love you!.....you too, mom!

Eight more babies....
As if a human baby isn't enough to deal with, Daisy has another litter of puppies last Saturday. I'm not nearly as excited about this litter as I was the last one. I wonder why :)
We started out with nine, but now are down to eight. We think she laid on one. There are four black ones - all female, and four yellow ones - two males, two females. So, if you know anyone who would like to buy an adorable little lab puppy, give us a call!

Growing and Sleeping!
Finally.....a few minutes to blog!
Sage had her one month check-up on Tuesday, and it went great. She is gaining weight like a champ - up to 9 lbs 6 oz. I was so happy given her previous history of losing, losing, and losing some more. The doctor said she is doing great, and is just perfect. (We already knew that, of course :) He said to stop waking her up to feed her, and I was very glad to hear that! So....the first night she only made it 4 hours, but the last two nights she has made it 7 hours!! Yeah for Sage, and yeah for mommy's sleep.
I am getting ready to go back to work - only one more week at home with her and daddy! She's going to have the best babysitter possible though - her dad! Unfortunately, he was laid off from his job last week, so he'll be hanging around here until he finds another job, or gets our side business going enough to allow him (and then me) to stay home full time.
Sage went to her first high school basketball game last night. She did great. The loud noises and cheering didn't bother her a bit, and she stayed awake for the entire second half. Congratulations to the Glenns Ferry High School basketball team on their win. (Jim's nephew, Justin Solosabal, plays on the team.) We're going back for another game tonight. Hope she does as well.
I can't believe she is already a month old. The time has gone by so fast. She is such a good girl, and we are so thankful for her. We love you, Sage!

Sage's Big Day!
A VERY HAPPY FAMILY!Sage was blessed today! and it was such a nice day. We had so many family members and friends in attendance. We sure thank everyone for traveling and sharing this special day with us. We figure there was about 70 people there for us :)
Me, Sage, and Grandma & Grandpa Munson
Three Munson Generations - Grandma Mavis, Mommy Katie, and little Sage.
Four Solosabal Generations - Great Grandma Ruth, Grandpa Rich, Daddy Jim, and SageSage meets Sailor
Sage & Sailor
Us and our girls
Oldest and youngest Munson grandchildrenSince my sister Julie wouldn't be able to come to Sage's baby blessing, she and her daughter Molly, and granddaughter Sailor came from Utah for a visit. We spent the evening together and introduced Sage and Sailor to each other. It was fun.
Molly is the oldest grandchild in my family, and now Sage is the youngest. There is 30 years difference between them! And it's strange to think that Molly has a baby older than Sage! I'm so excited that Molly and I had babies around the same time....along with a few other nieces in the family. It's so fun to see all the little girls.
