Beavertail

Last weekend we camped in a Tipi!  We joined Ron and Carole at Beavertail State Park for a night where we played in the river and enjoyed the surroundings.

Seriously...if anyone is interested in a real MT vacation these tipis are the place to be!  Rybars?  Next Montana trip in tipis?

Watching the caterpillar on Grandpa's arm...Clara stops every time she spots a bug "bug! bug!"
The kids were fascinated with this little fella!

Can you guess what she is doing?  Just learning from her big bro :)

Splash MT

Thursday evening we squeezed in a visit to Splash Montana before it closed for the season.  Jenna and the kids met us there and we all had a blast on the water slides and in the lazy river.

The Summer Fun Continues

Ahh, a routine.  It took a few nights of unsettled kids, but we are now getting back into a regular week.  I start school on Monday and feel thankful that i will be working in the mornings and can continue our summer fun after class!

Happy Anniversary!  We found ourselves at Pineview Park again (on our last anniversary we ended up there too) where we played with Maria & Eric.  They babysat the kids in the evening while we went to Stacy & Brian's Rehearsal Dinner.  Cheers to 6 years!  I am so thankful to have you as my husband and my parenting team :)

Stacy & Brian's Wedding

After much planning and anticipation...Stacy & Brian were married on 8.20.11.  

Whitefish & Glacier

Thanks to our wonderful parents, Brett and I left the kids for a week and went on vacation with Maria and Eric.  We stayed in Whitefish for 2 nights, biked and spent time on the lake and then went in to Glacier and camped for 4 nights.  

Drinks at the lodge

Hiking in Glacier

Just another beautiful view...

Look at this little buddy!  Maria snapped this little cub standing up looking for his mama.  Mama was headed down the trail with the other two cubs...we saw them from the car :)

Thank you again Ron, Carole, Ty and Mom!  We had a great time and REALLY appreciate the time you spent with Owen & Clara.  

Ten Spoon Winery

My mom flew in last night to spend the weekend with the kids!  As an early thanks to the grandparents for taking care of the kids this coming week we took them to Ten Spoon Winery for tasting and a picnic.

My "flight"

The winery had bubbles and hoola hoops for the kids-perfect!

Thank You!

Robin Family Update

We have babies!  3 babies survived out of the 4 eggs and we are enjoying watching them grow.  Both the mom and dad take care of them, bringing food and nuzzling the babes.  Mama sits on them at night, but Dad takes turns quite a bit during the day so Mama can get her own bite to eat.  

Brand new babies

Nap time!  They are getting cuter...they can open their eyes and are sprouting feathers!

Phoenix Fam

Diane (Ron and Don's older sis) and Chuck came up from Phoenix for Diane's 50th high school reunion so we got to visit with them throughout the weekend.

Dinner in the Park...2 seconds later the cone was Clara's and Owen got a new one
