Montana-part 4

On Wednesday we laid low for a little while, then we went in to Missoula. We went to a little coffee shop for a few minutes, then Whitney met up with us and we went to the University of Montana campus. John is in graduate school there and showed us some of the ins and outs of the campus; it reminded me a lot of MTSU (except the view of the mountains all around). That night we went to a local place to eat some good food.

Thursday John, Chris, and I played frisbee golf and let me tell you... IT WAS HARD! If you have ever played it around here, just picture it in the woods, in the mountains. Despite the workout, it was still a lot of fun!! That night John and Whitney had some friends over and we cooked out for Chris' 30th birthday! MOM AND DAD MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS PART: I, ME, NATALIE, YOUR DAUGHTER ATE EMU AND BISON MEAT... AND LIKED IT!!

No frisbee golf pictures from this day, but we liked it so much we went back Friday with camera in tow. Check out the next post for the pics!

Frisbee Golf Fun, we were not very good, but it was fun (and a workout).

Montana-part 7

After frisbee golf on Friday, we all cleaned up and walked around downtown Missoula. We ate dinner, got ice cream, watched the sunset, and more on the last night of our vacation. Saturday we got up pretty early to go to the Farmer's Market, but since it was cold and rainy I didn't take my camera out. Then it was time to go :(. We had a great relaxing vacation and can't wait to visit again (especially after the baby arrives)!

If you made it this far, I hope you enjoyed all the pictures!

Happy Birthday Matt!

Happy 30th Birthday Matt!


Matt and Chris were born one day apart, June 4th and June 5th. They both turned 30 while Chris and I were vacationing in Montana!

Memorial Day 2009

Chris and I spent most of Memorial Day at my parents' house with lots of family and friends!

This is Jade's newest dog Sandy, when we went out to the pool she parked herself right here in the shade (smart dog)!

Jana, Ethan, and Jade love swimming and playing together!!

Jana was getting some good air...

CANNONBALL!!!!

Boy do these kids LOVE to jump in the pool!!!

Jade was struggling a little with the float, haha.

Jana needed an adjustment after jumping in so much...


Finally made it! Looks so relaxing, too bad the water was waaaay too cold for the adults!!


Susan decided to catch some rays.

They all took turns pulling each other around on the kick board, sounds like too much work to me!

Ethan turned it into Wave Country for a while, I remember doing that with my friends as a kid!

Chris and I left and went to his parents house for a little while, it was just us and them (no kids-which is rare!) We had a good visit, we just looked at pictures and talked so I don't have any pictures from there. We went back to my parents' and I was sad when I realized we missed Sara and Samantha Jane doing this! Too cute!!! I also realized when we got back that someone had not moved an inch...


I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day and took a little time to remember what that day is all about!!

I have a whole bunch to get caught up on so hopefully this will be the first of many posts over the next week or so :) Stay Tuned!
