This weekend we drove down to Elko, NV for the Ellison Ranching Company's annual shareholders meeting at the PX Ranch. We left Friday afternoon and since my bro-in-law, Travis couldn't join us, drove in tandem with my sister Ann, her twin boys and our niece, Rachel and arrived just in time for dinner with my parents at The Nevada.
After dinner, we all went back to our rooms and hit the sack. Unfortunately, through the night, Rachel and my bro-in-law, Jared got really sick and Becky's whole family, except for Jonah, ended up driving back home Saturday morning and skipping the meeting.
The PX Ranch was recently acquired by the ERC, but used to be owned by Bing Crosby in the 1950's. A funny story I heard at the meeting was that Bing's wife had a drinking problem and he sent her to the PX along with her doctor to help her "dry out". When he came to check on her a few days later, both his wife and the doctor were drunk!

After the meeting Saturday morning, we had a nice lunch and then had to hit the road. Jonah was the helper on the way back, and after a few stops for all the babies, we all made it home that evening.
My parents brought all of Sam's books that we left at their house. He is in heaven! His favorite part of the day is storytime with Daddy just before bedtime.
We found Sam sleeping like this the other night. Now that he's figured how to get from lying on his back to sitting and crawling, we often find him sitting up in his crib when he should be sleeping. He must have worn himself out and then crashed! What a cutie!

I like that no fear look on his face while he's standing on Bill's hand. He's going to want something dangerous like a dirt bike for his second birthday.
