Yeah!! We got some pics from Montana!!

My sister in-law Lisa sent me some pictures from last weekend and I was thrilled to have the memories on disc!!
You have to come down a big hill to get to their house and the kids had a ball sledding down on sleds and snowboards. Ashton loved this helmet! He would not take it off. I love this picture of him!

Ellie and Logan were such little buddies this trip. I think they had just come down on a snowboard together and couldn't have been happier.

Burke workin' it in his helmet.

This is Dalin, Landon, Brax and Ash coming down fast!

Me, Haley and Emily on the back made a train and it was so fun! Bradley loved it! He wanted to go over and over; needless to say I was worn out by the time we were done.

Later that day we went skating at the boys and girls club. It was my kids' first time skating and they had fun. Uncle Ryan was a big help!

Ashton and Briar were so funny on their skates. The wheels were locked, so they mostly just walked around, but they thought they were so cool! Ashton kept jumping up and landing on his haunches like it was the most amazing trick!

They had a limbo game where you had to skate under the bar. Logan, Landon, and Ellie were great at it.

All the kids slept on the floor in the front room and it was near impossible to get them to sleep. Who wants to sleep at a time like this?
P.S. those big glass windows overlook Flathead Lake. It is an amazingly beautiful view!

On Saturday we went snowmobiling. I have to say this is one of my favorite things ever!! I haven't been for years and I was so excited to take my kids. They all LOVED it!!

Burke, Uncle Bill, and Braxton. Thank you Uncle Bill for treating us to this awesome day!

Haley, Ryan, Ellie, me and Ricky. It just doesn't get better than this!

Ellie, Ash, Brad, Landon and Briar. These little rascals were raiding the treat box. Brad hung out here most of the day in is snow pants. He was cold and he loves snacks.

Where will they serve??????
Well, the days has finally come for us to tell where my parents will serve as mission president. I have to say it is has been a suspenseful three months waiting to find out. My mom and dad will have the privilege of presiding over the Rochester, NY mission. I have been there with many of you friends over the years and you know what a special place this is. There mission covers the Sacred Grove, Palmyra Temple, the Joseph Smith homes, EB Grandin Building-where they published the BOM, the Hill Cumorah, The Peter Whitmer Farm, and Niagra Falls. We could not be more excited about this call! They are thrilled and humbled at the opportunity to be in this sacred place for three years. We can not wait to take our kids there and have their testimonies strengthened at these sacred places.

I just have to say that I LOVE Montana! We came up this weekend to visit Ricky's brother and sister. I am very, very, very bitter that you will not see any fabulous pictures of snowmobiling, or sleding because I forgot my camera!! Yes I am bitter about it. Anyway, if you ever have a chance to visit this beautiful place don't pass it up! It is well worth the drive to get here.
