Family and the 4th

Well I left Wes in Montana to help my mom at cheer camp, and it just so happened to be the same weekend as the 4th:)! I know...I'm a terrible wife, but it was too tempting to go and see the whole fam! I started my vaca off seeing good ole eclipse with all the girl aunts and cousins on my moms side. It was hillarious because we went day #2 and everyone was so crazy in the theater.

The next day I got to go to Lagoon with my BFF sadie:) We got to go to Laguna Beach and visit my favorite part of Lagoon.... the LAZY RIVER!!! It literally is "what fun is"!

Kam and Colby

Mom and Kerry

I got to spend a whole night with my girl KRISTA, we had a slumber party and it was so fun. We say Grown Ups, shopped at Gateway, ate at Rumbi, and had some serious girl talk! Boy oh boy do i miss this girl, but i will see her soon enough.... come on August 12th.

Our family had it's 2nd annual Rockport Camping Trip at Rockport Lake....obviously:) We were able to tube the river, go cliff jumping, and thanks to the Reynolds and Roundy's go wakeboarding and tubing on the lake. We missed our brother andrew alot and will hopefully see his return for the 3rd trip next summer.

Ice cream sandwich's after the tubing extravaganza!

Kameron is a pro!

Dinner:)

What a great weekend! I'm so grateful to my fam especially Killer Kim and Killer Kurt for being such good hosts to there little girl. Hopefully Wes won't be to mad when I get back, and maybe if he's a good boy he'll be able to come next year!!!

Visitors and the big 24!

We were excited to have visitors this past week in Great Falls! Greg and Cheryl were able to come up to Montana for Wes' bday bash. We enjoyed being able to show them around to our favorite spots as well as find some new fun places to visit. It was perfect timing because we had to move to Helena and they packed up half of our beongings for the trek southward. We were able to spend the whole day with them on the 29th for our extravaganza celebration of Wes turning 24 and ran a muck. We had donuts with the office, had a picnic at a beautiful lake(wink, wink), went shopping for a bday outfit, Wes played tennis with Greg, and we went out to dinner with the crew to Makenzie River Pizza. What a great day I get exhausted just thinking about all the fun we had! Thanks Mom and Dad for making it such a memorable day for good ole WES!

Wes found a water snake, and actually picked it up! EWWWW!

We found a turtle in the middle of the road and I picked it up! Ewwwwwwww!

Wes got a new tennis racket for his bday, it was totally awesome!

The bros doing what they do best........chowing down!

Did I say lake earlier? I meant pond/swimming hole that is called a State Park.

Birthday eclairs.

Sadie puts it best....we were all tired by the end of the celebrations! Thanks Wes for sharing your birthday with us, I love you so, so much and am grateful for you in my life.

Then there was 3...

Last Friday Leo called Wes with an interesting proposition... a free dog! How could we resist:) Wes and I are now the proud parents of cute litle Sadie..She loves chewing on her pokemon, rope and my shoes whenever she has the chance!

Wes and Sadie, don't mind the messy counter:)

Last but not least, this is what happens when you leave for 6 hours without putting Sadie in the kennel... at least nobody's shoes were on the floor!

Fun in Montanya

Well it's been another week and the boys are still working hard! Allthough montana doesn't have what some people might refer to as "crazy night life", we still manage to find fun things to do in great falls!

The gang at Coldstone, Wes and I shared some brownie concoction and it was AWESoME:)
The boys met the sales quota for the week so Leo took us to applebee's, I laugh so hard everytime i'm with these guys! We are so lucky to be surrounded by such legit people, and thanks again Leo my 7 oz sirloin steak and mountain dew were so yummy!

Me, Jamie, Mikah, and Abby shopping all the botiques on Central Avenue

Our beautiful backyard, aka the Missouri River:)

I went down by the river...

Wes and I on our day off, well i'll be honest on his day off:)

Skipping rocks in the Missouri River

We went to a little town called Cascade and found a nice little fishin spot. We weren't 100 successful in catching fish, in fact we were more like 0% successful, but we did catch some serious rays and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of good ole Montana.

Jordan found a super loud little pond, we walked around poking sticks into the water to find where the loud noise is coming from and discovered these tiny friends! We caught 8 little guys and as Leo would say bought them their own natural habitat! It was so much fun but I hope I don't get any warts over this escapade:)
