Strange Firepit (plus Wilkersons & Andersons)

I told you I felt a Firepit Party coming on!!!! LOL

Tonight we invited some friends over for a Firepit dinner and S'mores for Dummies!

At the Ward Picnic, we met Ann & Marcus Strange. They are darling! We clicked right away! So we asked them to come hang out with us. We also wanted to get to know the Wilkerson Family. And then of course it's always a good time when the Andersons come! They are like our Family here! What a fun group of people. It turned out that the Stranges knew the Anderons. Man! It's a small world. We had a fabulous night. It was a bit chilly so perfect night for a fire! Love getting together with people! I'm having so much fun in our new home! Yah! We even had a fancy "wig" Fashion show going on. Good times!

The Stranges stayed and visited for a while. Justice & Marcus used one of my wigs and took turns dressing up like Thor. LOL Tooo funny!

Montana Horses

Justice LOVES horses since we moved to Montana. He plans on breeding horses when he grows up. At Football practice tonight, there were horses in the field near by. Isn't he gorgeous!?

I love photography!!!

Jefferson County Library

Since Justice's football practices for the last couple months have been down in Clancy- the girls and I have made Thursday- our Library Day. Clancy has this darling little Library. It's DVD collection is amazing and they will order in pretty much any book you'd want. Such a cute place. The girls love it!!!

We're back....

I know most of you have almost given up on me. But as of 10 o'clock this morning- we are finally reconnected to the World Wide Web. Be patient while I get back on the Blog-Wagon. I'm going to have to divide my time here & OperationMTHouse . Cuz I know some of you are dying to see what my new home looks like!!!

FYI about catching up- You'll have to scroll down because I'm going to catch up below my anniversary post first!

YW Flour Fight

For Young Womens tonight- Liberty & the girls did some kind of Flour Fight. Oh man was she covered!

P.S. One of her friend in East Helena started this "Moose" pose in pictures. Liberty thinks it's cool. So pretty much every picture I take these days is with her tongue out and her hands up. Oh joy!

Scone Night with the Allens & Posts

We had the Allen Family & part of the Post Family (her Hubby had to work) over for Scones tonight. We love that it's an activity AND treat all in one. So fun to get to know new people! Adore them!

Constructing a Firepit

We dug a hole tonight, hauled some rocks and made out own firepit in the backyard tonight. Then we made yummy S'mores! It was awesome!!! And far enough away from the house to keep the stinky smell where it belongs! ;) Oh man I feel a Firepit Party coming on!!! ;)

Painted Pot Party

Glory went to Elizabeth's birthday party today at the Painted Pot. Elizabeth is her friend from school that she met the first day! They have really become good friends. All the little girls made Pegasus ponies. So cute!!!

Back to School Party

The kids (at least the older ones) are having a tough time feeling like they belong here at the Montana City School. Most of the students there have been together since Kindergarten and seem to not be as welcoming as other schools we have been to. It's a bummer! So to try and help out a bit- we decided to let the kids invite 2 or 3 friends each to get to know other kids better. I was just going to let it be a glorified playdate but at the last minute I decided that I should at least do the food kindof fancy. ;) It turned out way cute! Oh how I LOVE a theme!!

Glory invited Teagan T. from her school class who happens to be our neighbor along with his sister, Kennedy who is in Kindergarten. She also really wanted Korbin to come. It worked out good because he's in Kindergarten too. Such cute kids!

Victoria invited three girls from her school class. Jayden, Sophie & Makenzie. Jayden and Makenzie happen to also be in our new Ward.

Justice invited Caleb and Bryson who are in his new Church class. He also invited Byron- his football buddy who happens to leave at the bottom of the hill (even though he is in a different grade) We can see his house from our back deck.

Liberty hasn't seen her friend Ann since the beginning of the Summer. (She was her best friend in East Helena not in MCS. But Liberty really wanted to have her over. We love Ann!)

We ate, played, jumped on the tramp, rode the go-kart, watched a movie, played flashlight hide-n-seek and ate rootbeer floats. The kids had a blast! Fun times!

Let it Snow

This morning we woke up to a Snowy mountain! There was snow on the rooftops and our deck until the sun came out and quickly melted it. I love the view from our back deck when there's snow on that mountain. Gorgeous!

Face Painting at the Paynes

After the Farmer in the Dell we went to the Paynes so the boys could watch the game and the Liberty could do some face painting for the kids. Everyone got in on the action. So fun!

Our 2nd Farmer in the Dell

Our family attended the Farmer in the Dell Harvest Days again like we did last year!

This year Liberty volunteered to help at the booths with her friends, Mikal and Aimee. They had a blast!

The rest of the family came over after football. We ate lunch and went for a wagon ride.

We also picked out pumpkins and played games. It was a fun day!

Happy Fall Days! 

Glory's Pet

Glory has been on a catching bug kick lately. She even found herself a new pet. That Grasshopper lasts at least a week in that little container. They checked on him after school everyday. They even made sure they feed him each day. Cute girls!

Victoria's Class Scrapbooks

I got to help in Mrs. Sharbano's class today. Every September she makes fabric covered Scrapbooks with the kids in her class. They add stuff all year and bring it home at the end. So fun to be able to volunteer at the school and be with my kids! I love how excited Victoria is when I come! And it was so fun to meet her new friends.

The volunteers helped the kids cover the foam boards:

 And poke holes in the pages with nails, rocks and cracks in the sidewalk.

Then I got to hang out with Victoria, Makenzie and Sophie at recess. They showed me their routine on the bars. ;)

They think Victoria and Sophie look like twins without her glasses. Pretty close!

Backyard Bucks

Seriously can't believe where we live. How many places can you be eating breakfast and see this out your back window? So fun!

1st Faith Lane Block Party

Since we have moved to Faith Lane, we have tried hard to meet all our neighbors. They are all amazing!!!! We have told them that we love to get people together. They all seemed excited. So, I chatted with the Trettin Family (end of the road) and talked them into hosted our 1st Faith Lane Block Party. They have grass and we don't! ;) We did a BBQ and all brought things to share. We had everyone on the street (plus the lady who sold all the lots- she lives around the corner) except the Weavers who were out of town. Fun to get to know everyone!
