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!

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!
