8 days away.....

We have just returned from another 8 day "jaunt" to Montana.....we had a very busy week so hopefully there will be many more posts to come....but this is how we started out our time there...Celebrating Grandma's "25th" Birthday!!

1 month shy......

This little "ham ball" is 11 months old today!!!

She has developed a personality all her own and is trying to give Mr. Eli a run for his money when it comes to being the "funny" one! If she doesn't get what she wants she has learned all to well from a couple of siblings (no names mentioned) how to throw her self onto the floor and bury her head into the floor as though it was the end of the world. Drama, Drama, Drama!


This Chair has become her new favorite perch....She is so proud that she can climb in and out of it all by herself.....


Ema is such a fun little girl - she loves to snuggle and will always give you some sort of "love"....but don't be deceived - she also into everything...more so than any of our other kids....ahhh I constantly must know where she is and what she is doing.

California Visitors....

This past week/weekend Grandpa Ron and Grandma Mary were here to visit! And wouldn't you know - of course we didn't break out the camera until they were getting ready to leave....sorry!

Montana visitors.....

This past week/weekend my cousin and her family came to visit for 4 days.....we took in a few of the sites that were "kid" friendly and didn't require a large amount of driving....I have very few pictures to show from it....probably because I live here and have many many of the same pictures already....but here are a few....



Owen and Ana poking there heads into "Prairie dog town"



Ana and Eli getting "squeezed" by a snake.... Reptile Gardens was the one place we visited that we had never been before....And the consensus was....good for older kids.....not so good for my young kids - but they had fun none the less...



This is where Ema spent most of her time while we were "touring".....she was a trooper!


One of the three giant tortoises


The alligator/crocodile show.....
