One of the things I love most about our new town is that it's literally called "Bar Nunn." How awesome is that? If I get the right angle I can capture the entire "city" in one picture. We don't even have a grocery store. The neighborhood we live in is small, pretty new, and quiet. We're close enough to Casper that the furthest we'd have to drive to get anywhere in town is 15 minutes, but "far" enough away that I get to say things like, "I'm going into town today, need me to pick anything up?" Also we just really love how underrated and quiet it is out here on our edge of the prairie. Jared's coworkers always make fun of Bar Nunn, but we're just like, "Sweet, the more people make fun of Bar Nunn, the less people will come crowd it up." I would make a seriously awesome hermit/crotchety old person. (For real though.)

There's not really a point to this post. Just a random post to put some random pictures. Some are of walks through our prairie, and some are fun moments in our home.

 ^^4th of July church outfits. Jack was 4 months old and somehow this outfit of his passed as both pjs and church clothes. Basically the maxi dress of babywear.
 ^^Jared's first day of work as a doctor! I love that his scrubs have a fishing fly as the logo. The North Platte is the river that runs through Casper, and it's got great fly fishing. In case you haven't guessed, our child is full of personality.
 ^^Cowboy Jack!
 ^^Our neighborhood park. It's a perfect 5-minute walk from us and they're putting in a splash pad next summer!
 ^^Impromptu family pictures! We don't really have any formal family pictures yet. Jared's schedule until the end of the year is pretttttty rough (like leaving before Jack wakes up and getting home after he's down for the night rough), so when he got home 20 minutes before the sun disappeared and Jack was still awake one evening, we booked it to the prairie and did a couple self-timer pictures.
^^And last but not least, Jack in his Harry Potter outfit. He hates having the glasses on his face and knocks them off immediately, so that last picture is the hilarious only shot I could snag with them on.

Here in Casper we are lucky enough to have a cute lil' mountain--Casper Mountain! It's not quite the same as being surrounded by rockies with never-ending trails, but we're so glad it's here. 
Last month when the weather was still consistently nice, we went for a family hike on the Bridle Trail. It exceeded all my Casper Mountain expectations. It had a couple great overlooks, a babbling creek you have to cross, a variety of trees, and a cool little tunnel.

Jack has just about outgrown his little Infantino baby carrier. When he falls asleep his head flops over the side. Must be time to start using our Ergo carrier.
 ^^The best picture to ever exist.
The more time Jack spends outside, the happier he is. Unless it's been longer than 2 hours. Then he turns into a dinosaur and ugly screams all the way home. This hike was just a little longer than homeboi can handle at this age. I think it was like 4 miles round trip? I had to feed him once on the trail and he took one backpack nap, but the last mile was a bit rough as he just wanted out of his pack and into his crib.
Look at that perfect little baby face! Jack has the best blue eyes. Hopefully we'll get to go hiking once or twice more before the weather completely quits on us this year. Jared's schedule is pretty horrendous for the next 3 months but I'm hopeful.
