On Top of the World!!!

It has been a while, here are some photos of us this summer hiking around the Colorado mountains. We are on top of the world!!! :) This was our first hike of the year and we had a view of the whole Valley of Denver. HUGE!!! What a beautiful way to spend the day with the fam. Wish you were here with us!!! Love and miss ya

The Whole Family

Well we clean up well if you ask me. On any given day, we are one heck of a bunch of confusion and chaos. But today we managed get it all together and smile all at the same time. How cute! This is how I like to remember my kids. Isn't it great to have the moment captured forever. Thanks for enjoying the little moments with us.

Trying to catch up

Well, as you all know a lot is going on. I haven't been able to upload pictures and update my blog so here is my attempt to do so. I am 15 weeks pregnant, due January 16th 2010. Casey is getting really big. My gardening attempt has been a huge success. This summer has been filled with lots of fun trips swimming in lakes and rivers. My mom visited and we took a trip to Glacier National Park a MUST SEE if anyone wants to take a vacation (Hint, hint... Come on up and see us!!!) It doesn't start getting really cold until November. And if you're tired of the hot weather you live in, it is really nice here, except my house without air conditioning. But that is not an issue when we are outdoors enjoying God's country. My backyard is just as beautiful as any place we could drive to, minus a nice cool river. So plan now and don't miss this summer in Montana as some passed up the opportunity to visit us in beautiful Jackson Hole and missed the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone (which are a minor detour on the drive up if you have the time to pass through) and flights from Vegas are really cheap with Allegiant Air and they fly right into Kalispell 5 minutes from my house. So plan to take a trip to Sis Diana's and while your there fly to see us. (I'm not begging, really) Only if you can't live without us. Some of you were able to see Skyler on his little summer vacation to see Grandma Jordan. Hope this included you. Well I am rambling on and on... Just waiting for my 900+ pictures to be downloaded to the disk so that I can use my technical skills to try to upload them to this blog...

Together again

Well, we had a great time in Utah. All Jill's family together in one place at one time. Only once an decade as you know the rarety of the occasion. So here are the pictures(They are still coming)

Casey's 1st Birthday!!!

Well, I can't believe it happened, Casey is 1 years old today. Wow what a milestone! How the time flies when you're chasing a baby. I haven't been able to download pictures yet but they are coming. We celebrated by having cake. Casey has 6-7 teeth now and starting to bite a bit. He is taking a few steps but, he prefers to crawl, he'll be smarter they say. His first tooth broke through on October 20th, the day before Skyler's 8th Birthday. His first word was "Hi", he kind of pronounced it like "HA!" Other words he says are: Dada, DD (or Doggy), Mumumu (or Mommy). Skyler is such a big helper and growing way too quickly. We miss you all and hope to see you soon. Happy Birthday Casey!!!

Watch for upcoming pictures...

Just catching up!!

Well to catch you up to date. We are officially out of the Winnebago for the winter, YEAH! We got into a 2 bedroom home on an acre. I have 4 pigme goats and will have 2 chickens soon. We have large 60+ foot Tamarack trees (large pine trees) in our backyard. We feel truely blessed. Thank you Jesus!!!

Here are some pictures

Well, time has flown by I haven't had a dull moment since we left Utah and it has been 2 years since we moved to Jackson. I can't imagine what we have missed. The family has moved away and come back and I am still gone. I feel like I should be there in Utah but know that God has something big for us while we are here. I am not sure where we will end up next but it is nice to know that we will be settling in Montana for a short while.

My online album is full, if anyonw has any ideas on where I can store my pictures so I can publish them on the blog let me know..

Casey's a growin' And Skyler ain't slowin'

Here is Skyler trying our his flying in the wagon. I had to have him reenact it for me to take pictures. He is such a creative kid always trying something new.



Casey is a hoot! This is how he drinks from a cup, by sticking his whole face in the cup til the liquid reaches his mouth.



Here he is drinkin' milk, as you can see he gets right into the cup, he pauses in that position while he gulps it down, then comes up for air. The whole process is quite time consuming. I have to hold onto the ccup real tight or he gets too excited and knocks it out of my hands.

Here is Casey fixin' (well, maybe eatin') the tire on the Jeep. he is getting so big and climbing on everything.



I made the mistake of giving Casey a chocolate cookie, but the biggest mistake was dippin' it into milk before handing it to him. It basically melted into his mouth and face in onw quick shove. See for yourself. He got a sugar rush then he crashed pretty hard.



Here is the kids at our friend Panda's birthday party, Casey just loved the decorations and the kids said that this was the funnest party ever! Casey just couldn't get ahold of the balloons.



Here is Skyler and Casey playin'. Casey's shirt got stuck on his head so I just tied it there. It was pretty cute, at the end you can see that they both got worn out! Skyler is such a great character.

Sky in the sky!

Look there's a bird... There's a plane... Nope, there's Skyler in a plane.

Today Skyler had his first experience in the air in a little four passenger airplane at the Red Eagle Aviation's annual Young Eagles free flight day. Skyler got to experience the Flathead valley in Kalispell, Montana from the sky. He got off and felt a bit dizzy, but said he had a blast. I think that his stomach might have had a hard time with the G forces. Here are the pics

Casey in Skyler's eyes

Here is Casey, as Skyler takes pictures of Casey in the car. Mom doesn't even know these pictures are here until I go to put them into the computer. Hope you enjoy them.



Skyler has the most fun playing with Casey as his little toy, brother, he loves to make his laugh and cry. Mostly he just loves having him around to entertain. As you can see, they both have fun in the process.
