Montanutah, Part 2: Family Time & River Fun

While we were in Montana, we tried to take the kiddos to the local museum because it is a place I loved to go as a kid, but since it was fair week, the museum was closed. So, we decided to take the kids to one of the parks that I played at quite frequently as a child.



Outside the museum--I love how Tink and Pateetee are doing the same thing.



Most of the playground equipment at this park has been here since I was in grade school. Such great memories made at this park!


Both Tink and Skinja figured out how to do these monkey bars by themselves. Tink could get all the way across by herself. Skinj got about 3/4 of the way before falling.



Not sure what the purpose of this ladder is/was, but the kids enjoyed climbing to the top. I used to love climbing on it, too!

You can't really tell from these pictures, but the mud that Skinja is sitting in was craziness. We would all sink about 4-5 inches in it. The kids loved it!




Tink had a blast catching frogs.


It rained on us while we were there, so we ended leaving earlier than we had originally planned. When it rains in Montana, it cools off significantly. We were all getting pretty chilly by the time we left.


One of the things that I miss about Montana--besides my family--is the weather. I love being able to go outside on a summer evening and be absolutely comfortable. There may be nasty little mosquitoes biting, but at least you're not sweating. We took advantage of that as much as possible.


Everybody just relaxing and visiting



Nana--she always has a goofy look on her face :)


I had to put this pic on, so you could see how Alice is growing. This was about a month and a half after we got her.

Friends' Birthday

In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
