Kailey turns six!!

Yes our baby girl has turned another year older!! We were grateful to celebrate her birthday with a few friends. The momma was really sick this day and Daddy did a great job without her!! Thanks babe!

Our new table

With our family growing and only four chairs that was suppose to be around the table (we managed to put more), we have been in the market for a bigger table for a while. So a few weeks back we purchased this table that seats eight!! (Thanks to our friends the Fulton Family! They were the ones who told us about the table.) It is great to be able to not only seat our whole family around the table comfortably, but we also have room for company!!

This is with the table being fully extended out with the leaves in. The best part about it is that the leaves fold up and hide right under the table!! No trying to find a hiding spot for those big and bulky leaves! We are loving it!!

Capturing the moment

Chase amazes me from day to day. On this day he was watching me make breakfast and with this pose, I could not stop myself from trying to capture his innocence in this moment. I love being a mom!

Chase is TWO!

What?! Chase is two! Time flies when your having fun. So we had some friends over to help us celebrate Chase's birthday. It was fun and Chase loved all of his gifts!

MMMM, cake!!

Here he is opening his "Bat-mobile".

Big Boy Bed

I have been working on Chase's walls for quite some time now and the task is completed (unless we have another boy, then I have to add to it). Then, we finally got him his own mattress and he has been sleeping downstairs for about a month now. However, I have just gotten around to taking pictures of the everything.

Kailey's First Day of School

Kailey's first day of school was August 24th! We can not believe it, she is getting so big. She is doing great and loves every day of it.

On our way home

We headed out of Glacier National Park on Friday and headed to a big water park in Columbia falls. It was so very nice there as well as appropriate for all aged kids. (Thanks Nathan!)

Kailey went on all of the slides all by herself. Tana would go on a few but when it came to the bigger ones, she wanted mommy or daddy to go with her. Even Chase went down slides (with mommy or daddy, of course!).

After our fun in the park, we headed to Danette's house. She is a very close friend of ours who lives in Lakeside (very close to Flathead Lake). It was so nice to see her, it has been to long. After she showed us around her beautiful home, fed us, and then we hit the sack!

The girls thought it was so cool to play in a tree house in Danette's back yard.

(Tana was just fine, she just "shook it off")

The next morning Danette took us to see a boat show down by the lake and then it was not long after that that we were back on the road heading home. Thanks Danette for all of your hospitality! Actually we were going to Seeley Lake for the night.

We lucked out because it looked like we got the last spot open in the campground. Whew! Anyways, once we were set up, we went swimming for a little while and then had a campfire.

We got up early the next morning (Sunday) to actually go home. There was a long drive ahead of us and we got all the way to Bozeman, MT, and then (we now know) we blew a head gasket in the truck. We pulled over and it was not long that a nice police officer helped us out. He called a tow truck and got us on our way. We took the truck and camping trailer to the dealership and then rented a car to get home. Why? Cause Kailey's first day of school was the next day!! Thank God, we all made it home in one piece that night!!
