Montanutah Trip, Part 1: Fort Union

We decided to take a trip up to Montana and Utah to visit our family up north. Since there wasn't a family reunion planned, we were able to do some fun things we probably wouldn't have done otherwise. One of the days we were in Montana, we decided to take the kids to Fort Union Trading Post. I enjoyed going there when I was growing up, and I thought it would be fun and educational for the kids.

Tink loves to pose for pictures

As you can see, Skinj doesn't sit still very often or for very long, so in case you're wondering, that's why there aren't as many pics of him as there are of the girls.

Love both these pics!



Um, so I don't really like this pic of me, but that's because I'm all swollen from the car ride up to Montana.
It was the best of the bunch, though. Skinja doesn't do well with bright sunlight. lol

I like this picture because of the view--open prairie and big blue skies. I love Montana!

Friends' Birthday

Image
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 ...
