These are my newest favorite pics of my precious family!! They were so sweet to let me take a load of pictures of them!! All for my newest scrapbook pages!!

Peytons Dance Recital

This week was a very busy week. Saturday night was Peyton big dance recital. She was was so ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!! She told me "Mom I loved every minute of being up on stage!" (silly girl!she does not get that from her mom or dad!)We had dance practice every night this week. On Friday they had their dress rehearsal-I recorded a few clips from that. They wouldn't let us record the actual dance recital because they want us to spend 35.00 and buy it. We are done for the summer(and shuuu! I'm so glad the recital craziness is over!(atleast until next year!)

I have a new scrapbook buddy! My Peytie made her first page. It was a lot of fun watching her create-and she got in their and went to work and made her page mostly all by herself,I did get to help her with a few things. I was so proud of her!
Close To My Heart's Summer catalog just came out and they have some new paper called Back Country-love it! So Ive been scrapbooking one of our camping trips with it. And I even made my Fathers Day card.

Well it was the end of April and we had 2 really nice days in the 70's we had so much fun playing outside, we fed the ducks, we played tennis, we went for walks, we ate outside we only went inside to sleep-it was just that wonderful! Then it was just crazy-it got cool and started snowing-and snowing-and snowing...... 2ft of the stuff! And people complain about global warming!lol! My children had a ball playing in it though-they are good at finding the bright side of things!!! I laughed so hard at my Peyton Blaise-she was outside laying in it she had her eyes closed because of how much snow was falling, and she was would put her mouth down and get bites of it-this went on for atleast 20 minutes.(until she had to go to the bathroom-lol!) She had no idea I was even taking her picture because her eyes were closed the entire time! Avery chose to lay on his back with his eyes covered catching the snow from the sky! And Hunter played until he was exhausted and layed in the front door and said Mom help me! Im too tired and too cold to take my snow stuff off! The snow has melted now-hopefully we wont see that amount again until next winter/spring!

Sometimes its just really nice to get out of town! We went to Billings for a few days.(We found out our Peytie had strep throat when we got there!She still had fun.(just not as much as the boys!)she just needed lots of extra snuggling and pampering! Our hotel had 2 big water slides! So we played at the pool and ate and rested! It was nice to go eat at our favorite places-Red Lobster and Olive Garden. Our little Hunter can put the sea food away like his Daddy! And Avery enjoys fish only.(he says "just like Jesus did!" ( my cute boy!))Peyton wont touch any of it-she stuck to her salad and baked potato (I was surprised she wanted to eat at all!)Then we drove home in the snow and wind!(gotta love spring in Montana!)We have just been so spoiled to have Heath home with us and off work for the last 15 days! Today we have to get back to life as usual as he heads off for his 5 days away! Time to scrapbook!!!

A perfect day in the mountains!

On Saturday we went to the mountains to play. It was such a beautiful day. When we got there I was really sleepy so I was going to take a little nap in the van, I was almost asleep when my hubby came and got me and said he wanted to show me something. I didn't have a very good attitude about it but I followed him anyway. He was such a sweetie and had hung a hammock up for me to nap in. I took the best nap ever,I slept for several hours-it was heavenly!! They played and fished in the half frozen stream right beside me. There giggles and laughter filled my dreams. They caught several different types of small trout and cooked them up and ate them. I did wake up in time to watch them catch some fish and of course I had time to take some pictures! My Avery said it so well "Mom-these mountains God made for us are just so beautiful-I'll never get tired of looking at them!" I cherish these moments together and give praises to my God for giving me such an amazing family and life!

finished!

I finished up a scrapbook project I was working on for my sister and got it in the mail! Yayy! Completion is a grand thing! I posted a couple of pages from her book.
My sweetie turned 33!

The Spike-do's

I had to put these pictures up of the boys with the spike-do's their dad gave them!
Hunter now wants me to spike his hair up every day! We've had a lazy weekend with dad gone, I even got to do some scrapbooking! I have 3 great snugglers who keep me company when daddy is away. Last night they were all snuggled up so sweetly I had to take a picture. I pray they will always be best buddies!

My Champions!

At our church we just had the pine car derby races. This year Hunter won 1st place in his age group and Avery won 2nd place in his. And my Peyton Blaise had a fabulous attitude about losing! She was cute she said "Mom, Im just happy for everyone that won, and I had fun doing it!"I was so very proud of all three of them they are my champions!!
