MT part 2

I know I'm being brief and this is kind of our trip in a nutshell but I'm just glad to be posting and update...

Justin and Papa mowing the lawn

Funny faces

Jeff telling Chad to go scoop some dog poop

Always an obedient son

Justin's little Heaven

My sisters boyfriend has a contracting business and we took Justin down to his shop to see all the trucks. No one was there and Justin loved running around to see them all (and he could name most of them) Riki and I got him to get in the dump truck after much persuasion. He was scared it would start and be loud silly boy. Right before we were going to leave Rich, Levi's dad, showed up and asked Justin if he wanted to run a load with him....no hesitation off he went...he has never even met Rich before...He LOVED it!!! Thanks Rich

You can see his little head in the black truck

LOGGER DAYS

So our little town is mainly a logging town and Logger days is our annual celebration of all those Loggers we love (thats even our high school mascot)

Justin at the Carnival

My brother such a good sport...taking Justin on the slide

Now this is pure entertainment...the most looked forward to event....Bull/Bullette of the Woods. Basically it 2 people up on the huge log boxing. You have to knock the opponet off 2 times...no pushing and no stepping over the line... best bet is straight for the face.....

My brother finishing the 10K run...great job Josh...

At the Lake

2 WEEKS and 2 DAYS

After a 22 hr car drive with a sick baby and a husband who had self-diagnosed larangytis...I'm sure he just didn't want me talking for 22 hrs straight and thought it was a good way to get out of it.....we made it back to MONTANA . Can't say that I loved the drive but after not having been back in a year adn a half I love the feeling of coming home. Although after Chad went back to AZ after only being here 1 week with us I (once again) realized that home for me is where we are when we are ALL TOGETHER as a FAMILY but MT will always hold a special place in my heart. But that is a whole other thing....so back to the green grass, trees, mountains, lakes, rivers, creeks....back to MONTANA

Playing in sand box at Papa and Nana's

(this was at 9:15 pm at night....stays light until 10:30...love/hate thing)

I went to Bozeman for my very best friend of 15+ years wedding. She was a beautiful bride and we had a great time. Hubby and kids came over 2 days later for the wedding. This was the Bach. party

TEAM BRIDE

The Bride and Groom to be


Wedding Day

ok so I have run out of time...post more later.

Chad, we love and miss you and hope you have a great time in Alaska....don't forget about us and please come back home! :)

MAKING OF A HOME

Words can not explain how much I needed grass....I think it added a couple more years to my living in Arizona.

I was laying in bed with Justin last night opened my eyes and he was looking at me smiling...

"Justin what are you doing?"

"I'm just smiling at you because I love you"

Because I Would Rather Be OUTSIDE

(the rest of my house is clean...as are these clothes...ugh!)

FOR TAMMY...

I LOVE a great deal and coupon shopping and my sister-in-law ...who got me started on it... shares the same excitement (obsession) with me. The picture does not do justice but I wanted to share with her what I got today.....

SWEET!!!

FIRST FATHER-SON CAMPOUT

Our church does an annual Father-Son camping trip and this is Justins first year going. It was such a small....but big...moment for me as they left. I know it is just an overnight trip but Chad has done these with his dad countless numbers of times...I even remember them going since we have been married...and my brother and dad too. Chad said he did great, played hard and slept good and of course woke up early. Chad didn't decide to go until that morning and I am so glad he did...he was needing a break from work and Justin was needing some time with his Daddy.
