Christmas in Montana

This year we made the 13 hour drive to spend Christmas with Mom and Ken in Roundup, Montana. For weeks I watched the weather and road cams from here to there and as the day we were scheduled to leave I gre nervous that we might not make it! But luckily there was a break in between storms and that's when we made a break for it! We left on Saturday morning and made our way to Missoula (the half way point)! We stayed the night and finished our road trip the next day, arriving safe and sound at Mom's place which had a foot or more snow on the ground! YIPEE!!! What a wonderful Christmas we had, Mom made munchies just like she did when I was growing up. Although the temperature was subzero for several days we still found time to venture out briefly to make sure the deer and turkey got their fill! Happy New Year!! Enjoy the pictures, can't wait to go back!!!

Happy Holidays!

It's that time of year again, time to remember family and friends! I don't think you ever truly enjoy the holidays until you can see it through the eyes of a child. Connor is fascinated by the lights on the house and tree, Morgan gets SO excited when she hears Santa is visiting a store and McKenna, who still believes, is a joy to hear her explain to Morgan how Santa does what he does! (Some of the explanantion is thanks to "The Santa Clause" with Tim Allen) Happy Holidays from our family to yous!!

McKenna Turns 9!!

We had a bowling birthday party for McKenna this year and a surprise ride to get there! McKenna and her friends all thought we were going to let them ride in the back of the truck (yeah right!) when really her Grandpa Bob was having a antique fire truck come to the house to take them for a ride and ultimately to the bowling alley! She was SO surprised and Morgan was even MORE excited then McKenna was! Poor Connor got stuck riding in the truck with me! I still can't believe she is 9 years old already!

Bigger By the Day

It has been 4 1/2 months since Connor made his way into our lives! And man has he grown!!! October 28th he weighed in at 16 pounds, 5 ounces and was 25 1/2" long. (Look out Morgan he's closing in on you fast, almost four years old, weighs 29 lbs. and is 37" tall). It's amazing how fast the time is going

Halloween & Pumpkin Pictures!

Okay so we carved pumpkins the night before Halloween, a little late, but at least they didn't look all shriveled! LOL And this was the first year McKenna didn't want to be something cute and sweet, have to the love that child! Morgan on the other hand was hoping and praying that everyone who trick or treated downtown would wear a princess costume so they didn't scare her! Sorry sweetie no so such luck! BUT she did make it about half way through before pooping out and insisting on sitting in the stroller. Connor made it less than half way before he fell asleep in Daddy's arms! This was McKenna's first year to go to an ACTUAL Halloween party! She partyed the night away at her friend Cami's, they do dance class together! I picked up the party animal at 9 pm, good thing it wasn't a school night! Well enjoy the pictures, it was a night of firsts!
