Montana

Last weekend I convinced my little sister Diane to make the drive with me up to Montana to see our darling new niece, oh and of course her parents. So we dropped the kids off at school Friday morning and then headed north. We made good time and got there in time for dinner! We held the baby and visited. Saturday we took our time getting ready and went back to hold the baby and do more visiting. There is SO much to do in the little town of Big Fork....we ended up walking down Main street, stopping in a few shops and getting an ice cream cone. Then we went back and held that cute baby. My brother made us a Fabulous dinner that night. Then Sunday we got ready said our good-byes and drove back home. It was a lot of driving, but it was fun to just talk and eat lots of treats. Who'd have thought my big brother would have chosen a Gorgeous place to live and now he has two beautiful girls to take care of! Thanks Mike and Angie for letting us crash your weekend. It was so nice to visit and see you all! Also, thanks Diane for being my buddy and to Erin and Mom and Dad for taking care of the other kids.

Project time

The kids have had various projects going on lately. Brayden had a haunted house competition in his grade. He came up with the plan on how to decorate, and I just helped execute. Reflections were due today and Emma and Alex wanted to participate, so they each did their thing. I think I have said before that I do not like these extra activities, but this time around they didn't bother me so much. Maybe these things get easier as kids get older? Oh, there is a crazy hair day in there too!

TOUCH DOWN!

Brayden made a touchdown! Today was the final football game of the season! He plays left tackle, and the coaches told them if they got ahead enough they would let the line have turns getting the ball. Well, the team was way ahead and B got the handoff and ran it in for a TD! He was much more reserved than I thought he would be! It was the best way to end his first football season! We really have enjoyed watching him play and learn the game! We are proud of you buddy!
