Montana #1
Well, we have been in Montana for almost two weeks and have had so many fun adventures! My sister-in-law lives in the woods and the views all around her house are amazing!!They live right by Flathead Lake which- this is the view from their deck. Awesome!!

There are 14 grandkids so meal time is crazy!! All together there are 23 of us. This is the boys table...

and I accidentally deleted the girls table. Oops!!

This is all the kids loaded up to go and play in the lake the first night we arrived. There is lake access on the property.

Our dogs Duke and Turk think they have died and gone to heaven. They have 5 acres of woods and grass to roam on. They ran down to the lake to play with us.

These next few pics are the kids playing in the cold, cold water. The coldness doesn't bother most of them.

This is Ricky's sister Lisa (she lives here), his sister Amy and his mom. Us ladies like to watch and observe the fun. Although, Amy slipped and fell completely in the lake. It was very, very funny!!

One of the funnest things for the kids is the trampoline. They never get sick of jumping-never! This is about the only time that just Brad and Ash have jumped alone. Bradley is trying to copy Ash and do a front flip. Very funny!

Landon, Paityn and Ellie actually getting along for a few short minutes.

My brother-in-law Bill put in this 20 foot bungi swing before we arrived. The kids love it! It feels like you are flying when you are on it because if glides and goes so high.

This is the view from the front of the house. I never get sick of looking at it and often catch myself just looking at how pretty it is up here.

One of our favorite things to do here is to float the Swan River. It is so much fun, but this year was a little different. First of all it was ice cold. I mean it is the coldest water I have ever been in. Second, it rained and hailed on us as we floated along, but it was such a blast!!

The adults aren't in the pic, but the kids are Burke, Brett, Ellie, Haley, Emily, Braxton, and Lindsey. So much fun!

They're Off!!
My parents finally left for their mission about 3 weeks ago. We had great experiences as a family before they left! They have loved being in New York and are enjoying the pageant and all that goes with it. I am so proud of them and excited for all the great things they are doing.
