Washing his face

I heard some yelling in the living room. When I got there I asked what was going on and Becca told me she needed to wash David's face with a wipe!

Look at our Pumpkins!

While I was working my supervisor came over and showed me the cutest picture on her phone...wait it was David and Becca. She is friends with the daycare owner. They enjoy going to "school".

Weekend in Montana

We had a wonderful time in Montana this weekend. The weekend started off with a Barn Dance in Big Arm! Saturday we went to Missoula and visited a lot of good family friends and hit the tail end of Farmer's Market. Richard met a good friend from my high school/college days too. David and Becca had a great time playing with his daughter. Sunday we relaxed at their house and the kids played in Papa's new wood shed that is great as a stage!!! Monday we drove home. Busy weekend.

Adventure or Disaster?!

We took the kids camping a couple of weeks ago. I planned ahead and reserved a spot on the internet weeks in advance (I was excited to try camping with the kids). When we got there we found out our site was on the edge of a steep cliff. If it would've just been Richard and myself we would've loved it. We found out we could switch and did...I didn't even need to pay the extra $10 to reserve the spot because we were probably one of four sites with anyone there! We set up the tent with the idea we would get camp ready and take a nap. The kids were excited to see the tent and wanted to run around and play. Richard wanted to nap so I took the kids in the car about a mile away to the park playground. We had a great time there, got in the car to leave and the car would not start. I looked down and realized I had both phones with me. I looked around for someone to help us and decided it was up to me to get us back to camp. That mile seemed like 10 with 2 kids (Becca was a trooper and walked the whole way) but David cried "I want to go home, carry me". We got back to the site, Richard left to go get the car or figure out what to do and we were going to nap. I got us all settled in the tent and closed my eyes. It was quiet until I heard a snorting noise, opened my eyes to see David with something in his nose. I guess he had put pebbles in his pocket at the playground and now they were stuck in his nostrils (Becca might have helped him get them in). I wanted to cry because we were stuck in the woods in a tent without a car and a son with pebbles in his nose. I called Richard who had a bicycle rider with tools helping him with the car "hurry back because we might need to take David to the hospital"..... With a car that was working, clear sinus and a hot crowded tent we laid down for bed. The END of the story is that we left at about 10 pm to go home! Our friends wanted us to camp with them this last weekend--when Richard told them the story I think they changed their minds or we did!!!

Hot day, beautiful wedding and good friends

A good friend got married outside at the winery (it was beautiful and the sunset was beyond words) but it was the hottest day of the year! We had a great time.

The big county fair

The county fair here is very small but it was fun to take the kids to see the animals. I thought these were the cutest animals at the fair!!! David and Becca learned how to really sound like a pig there!! No more cute little "oink"...they can sound like a hog now!! The advantages of living in a small rural town.

1-2-3 today!

David had a wonderful time at his 3rd birthday party! We are enjoying our new place and it was great to share this day with everyone!
