Visit from RAM CARTER

Meemaw and Grandbill and Summer and Doug got a marvelous treat this week: A VISIT FROM RAM CARTER!  We picked him up in Provo last Saturday while CJ and family were at the Utah State track meet (CJ is a coach, and her team did great!).  We flew him home, reintroduced him to Doug (instant love), and have had a great time ever since.  He's been a perfect little man, and we've loved having him RUN around.  He just runs everywhere, and bounces up from his crashes, no prob.  Here are some pics:
Plane ride from SLC to DEN.  He loved it, and ESPECIALLY LOVED THE  TURBULENCE!  Laughed like an idiot.  Pure boy!

Here we are at Summer's Graduation.  He had sat through more than three hours of meetings by this time, but he was still a great trooper.  No crying, no problems!

He loves spaghetti (well, he loves most anything), but you'll see in the video that his favorite thing to eat is BEEF JERKY. A TRUE ROY OFFSPRING!  Get cooking Meemaw!  We need some more Man Food.

We deduced that this might be one of the few times Ram has had a bath by himself--he's usually piled in with  his sisters.  He LOVES bath time!

After the bath.  Nicely combed hairdo!

Summer's graduation with Grandpa and Grandma Norton.  Vickie had been up until midnight, and then up at 6:10 am trying to help Aunt Krista get to Tonga.  As of this writing, she made her Hawaii flight, and is not enroute to Guam, only about halfway there when she arrives!

After graduation.  Ram was a gem--not a squeak!

Outside the graduation ceremony at the World Arena.  Gorgeous day.  By the way, this was the same day and time of the USAFA graduation, and the Thunderbirds flew over not long after.  I graduated from there almost exactly 34 years ago.  Ram told me he would like to attend there if BYU Basketball coach Dave Rose doesn't recruit him . . . .

Summer the Graduate and Ram the future Graduate (far, far in the future).

Ram and Doug are fast friends.  A moment prior to this snap, they were nuzzling each other.

Afternoon snack.  Cheese is fine, but he wants BEEF JERKY!

Here is a video montage of some fun moments.  The video of Ram in the dark on the floor is during one of his "naps."  He just talks and sings--pretty content just to have some "quiet" time.  


We're having a RAMbunctious time in Colorado with the little man!

Love, Grandbill
