Montana

So we spent the week with "Gramma Sweetheart" (Ryan's mom, Pam) in Lewistown, MT. The kids had a blast. They played with Gramma and Maggie (Pam's dog) and the wonderful people at Pam's office. We enjoyed Taco Tuesday at Taco Time, eating at the BonTon and even went to the movie. The day we arrived it was about 60 degrees, so we played in the park for the first couple of days then the snow came all day on Wednesday. It was very cold, but Brennan couldn't wait to go have a snowball fight and build a snowman, he promised Pam he would wait for her to come home from work so she could help him. Pam was so great to come home from a long day at work and change into full snow attire, they all went out there and built that snowman at about 7 pm. It was great! The kids had so much fun. Thanks to all who donated the snow attire for the kids, it would have never happened without it. It was fun to go and just enjoy our time there. Thanks Pam for everything we had a blast.

While we were in Billings on Saturday, we met up with a good friend from college, Mark Nitz. He had never met the kids, so we had lunch at Red Robin. Thanks Mark for the fun time we loved seeing you.

Sorry!!!

I am so sorry for the lack of updating on my blog. I have been in Montana for the past week without internet access. I am posting all new pics and posts tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

Halloween Activities

This weekend brought lots of Halloween fun for us. My dad had his annual carnival for his ward, but this year he combined it with a Trunk-r-Treat. The carnival was on one side of the church parking lot, until dark then over to the other side for the Trunk-r-Treat. I'm telling you for parents of young children, it just doesn't get much better than a Trunk-r-Treat. The kids love it and it's all over in about 15minutes or so. After grandpa's carnival we headed over to Chelsea's church where she planned a great ward party for her ward. They had every room or so a different theme or activity, it was great. They also had a Costume Fashion show and cake decorating contest as well as pumpkin decorating/carving contest. It was great fun for everyone. Kyson dressed in full Army/Navy garb. He looked awesome. His own sister walked right past him in the hallway and didn't recognize him. Brennan had to have his picture with Kys, whom he adores. We're headed back next week for our old ward's Trunk-r-Treat. We'll keep you posted. Oh, by the way, you'll notice there aren't any pics of Peyton in her costume, sometimes she'll participate and then again sometimes, not so much :) I'll catch her in a better mood next week I'm sure.

Love this site!
