Our first visitors!

Grandma Gog sent me pictures of their visit (as I was having so much fun I didn't even remember to take any) and I had to share. Andy had such a wonderful time playing trains with Grandpa Beard and even Sam got in on the action.Poor Grandpa didn't get to sleep in at our house as Andy just couldn't wait for him to get up so he just climbed in bed and woke him up. (Sorry Brent) I was very excited to have visitors while Jeremy was away and they helped sooooo much.

It's been fun so far......

Well Montana is still treating us great, and we still love it here. It has been a full month for us, getting moved in, arranging the house, getting routines down, and just being a family. I have finally adjusted to being a full-time mom (I think) and am very happy to be at home with my kids watching every little new and exciting thing that happens in their life. And the trick to getting them to do whatever I want? SUCKERS!!



They are having a great time meeting new friends at the YMCA, (they now have mommy and me stuff to do every day) and just having a great time hanging out in the yard. We had a couple of really beautiful days here so I had to take a picture, record highs even! This picture was taken from our back yard! Big Sky Montana! I love the sunrises here!


They are finally old enough to give them bath together (Andy doesn't try to drown her anymore :) ) thank goodness because it definitely saves on the back pain LOL


Grandma Gog and Grandpa Beard came over this last weekend to keep me company because Jeremy went back to Oregon to pick up all the rest of our stuff. BIG THANKS TO HUGH AND LOREN, AND GEOFF for helping Jeremy. I have no idea what he would have done without you guys!!


The kids had a blast with Grandma and Grandpa this weekend and boy were they life savers!! Goldia even taught me how to make bread in my bread maker woohooo!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP THIS WEEKEND!! I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!
I just had to learn how to make cinnamon rolls as we no longer live next door to the Hales and Jeremy is missing Jeanettas' cinnamon rolls. I can't make them quite as good as her but maybe with a little practice.. We love you all and will keep in touch.

Grandma Sandy and Poppa are coming this weekend so I will be sure and post all the adventures. I will leave you all with one last image...ANDY IS SO STRONG!! AND GETTING SO BIG! :)

Christmas in our new home!!










We had a wonderful Christmas in our new home. We were only missing two things, a real Christmas tree and lights for our artificial tree :) other than that everything was absolutely perfect!












The kids really enjoyed opening all of their presents and loved playing with them even more!





Sam definitely loved opening her presents, maybe more than playing with them this year.


Andy got to play with his Thomas the Train all day long!!







And Sam got some music toys so she can really get down and boogie!









We all had a wonderful day, We are so blessed. Thank you!!
