Kassi's Baptism

We had the privilege of attending Kassi's baptism this weekend. We are super proud of her decicion to follow Jesus. You're awesome, Kassi! So glad we could join you.

P.S. I also had the opportunity to make her baptism announcement. Liberty, Kassi and I went out and took pictures last week. She's so photogenic. Love them!

Kid's Fall Fest

We heard about a community event called a Kid's Fall Fest going on today at Pioneer Park. We decided to check it out. It was a tiny bit lame but we got food and did something out of the house. Plus we got to see a few of our friends up there- (Gengers, Andersons and Listeruds) So... success!!! Happy Fall!

Muffins with Moms

I got to join the kids this morning for breakfast at school. Luv these kiddos!

Jazz Band

Liberty has had the opportunity to join her old EVMS friends and participate in the after school Jazz Band Program. (Mondays and Thursdays) She is having a fabulous time! It's tricky to get her there on time and she's not sure they will let her join in the performance but she loves Mr. Pipinich and playing with a "real" band. LOL Plus her friends are so excited to see her. She's in heaven!

Ann usually leaves too early for me to grab a picture

Walk to School Day

Today was International Walk to School Day. We drove down to the Fifes house and walked with them  (and some of their dance friends). Amy and Brooklyn joined us as well. It was a chilly morning but so fun to be with friends. The younger kids got bags of goodies and the older kids got a "golden ticket" for 5 extra credit points in any class. Fun times!

BYU vs. Utah State 2014

This is the second year that Brett got "the boys" (Dad & all his brother-in-laws) together to the go see the BYU vs. Utah State Football Game. This year Brett took the three younger kids to Utah for the weekend. After dropping the girls to Cheri, quite the crew was able to join Justice & Brett for the game. Brett & Justice love hanging out with all these amazing men. The game was a little less amazing for the BYU fans. "BYU quarterback Taysom Hill suffered a fractured left leg in the second quarter of the No. 18 Cougars' 35-20 loss to Utah State." Brett said Justice was pretty devastated with the loss. Bummer for the loss! But it is a super fun tradition.

Photos graciously taken by Grandpa!
You're awesome!!

The girls were able to spend time with the Davis Family (whom they adore more than their own family!;) 

Shauna & Hulio took a large group of the kids to a session of Conference on Saturday afternoon. It was Victoria's first time. Super special.

Glory & Brett got to visit with Grandpa Randy for a bit at lunch. 

And Brett got to take flowers to Aunt Tauni from us after her surgery. 

Tons to pack into one weekend but Brett is pretty amazing and fit it all in.

Unfortunately, I forgot to pack them the camera so there's no photographical evidence that the girls were ever there. [Sad face from me] But they all had a fabulous time!!! Pretty sure none wanted to come back.

[Mom & Liberty stayed home and got a few things organized, hung out with some friends, stayed up way late watching movies and listened to Conference together]

Glory Rides a Bike

Glory has been begging to learn to ride a bike without training wheels. Moving last Summer, being in the apartment with all our stuff in storage and then being where there are no paved roads- has made it so we have pushed it off. Brett finally got her out to try it tonight. She picked it up way quickly! She is so happy!!!!

Small Fry Football 2014

Justice has spent the last couple months practicing/playing football five days a week. It's been an awesome & extremely hard experience. He had an amazing team and coaches. They worked hard and learned so much this year! He loves football and now he knows how much work it is to be really good at it. We are way proud of him! Way to go, Justice!!!
Here's some of his practices:

And some shots at his games:

Go Helena Motors!!!

On August 29th- the team got free tickets to the Helena High Football Game. They all got to go down on the field during halftime. Fun times!

Guymon & Smith Scones

Scone night!!!!!
Tonight we had the great privilege of spending time with the Guymon and Smith Families. Amazingly fun people! (They must be related! LOL) We adore them all!

P.S. We've spent the last three days with Brooklyn so I asked her if she was just going to move in with us? She giggled and and told me "No!" (like I had a third eye!) LOL What a cute girl! Liberty was in heaven with Katelynn. It was a good night!

Payne Party Night

Victoria's Sunday school teacher, Sister Douglas went through the Temple for the 1st time this weekend. Brian home teaches her so they got invited to go with her. They asked us if we'd watch the kids overnight for them so they could make a date out of it.
...Of course!!!

Bring on the Payne Party Night!!!!

After school, they came over. Brooklyn Smith wanted to come too. :)

It rained a bit and we got to take a picture with this awesome rainbow!!

After a movie, we made home-made Calzones & ate on the Deck even though it was chilly and a bit rainy.

The night went well and we hung out the whole next day. Brian & Allie had a great time as well and got home safely. What fun kids! Group Hug!!!!

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!
