One Blissful Week...

Lucky for us, Brent works with his buddy Matt, who's family has a lake house on Flathead Lake. Luckier for us, they let us go stay in it this past week. Brent and I took my parents up for a week of R&R and it was FABULOSO!
Don't mind that we drove through a forest fire on the way....yes, that's real life FLAMES in the bottom right hand corner. The smoke was SOOOOO thick. Luckily mom had her pillow to cover her nose. Me, I was just happy to have my Harry books for the trip. I decided to read 5 & 6 cuz I'd forgotten a lot of them, and it's amazing how much you can read when you're in the car(and way too into a book) for what seems like 400 hours....I read them both in 3 days! It was great!
That's the view from the dock. Bee-you-tee-ful!The water was AWESOME!!!! I could've swam all day. And crystal clear too. I was sure Brent could touch right off the dock, but he couldn't, it was just clear enough that I thought it was shallow.
Mom and Dad on a nice quiet pedal boat ride. It was harder than it looks.Nice lil spot to eat in Polson, Montana called Papa Don's. We asked them for french fries, but they don't believe in fried foods---whatever!The forest fires had the sky filled with smoke. It was too bad in the day time because you couldn't see much, but when dusk came- wow, it was sooooo pretty. Three of my favorite things.....Brent, water, jet skiing!!!!
Brent and Dad fishing the Swan Lake River ...they had this torpedo'esque thing that would pull you around the lake...it was more funny than fun, I couldn't stay balanced cuz I was laughing too hard....We play train though- that was fun...

This is the house. It's so pretty

Saying our good bye's to the lake....so sad! But it was SOOOO FUN!!! Thanks mom and dad for coming! It was a blast!!!

Done and Done



I was inspired by Mary's craftiness to make a cute lil name thing for Conli's room. Well, I finally got up and finished it and I have to admit that I love it! So, I thought I'd let you all see it! I got crazy and made a lil hanging thing for her purses too!

Fun at the Cabin

We went down to the Ramey Family Cabin last weekend with our good friends, ABLES (holla!) And they're 4 kiddies, oh Brynn came with us too! It was sooo fun! The kids got a little tipsy around 11:30, but we finally got them settled down and in bed by midnight- don't you worry. It was a fun evening/night/day! Thanks for coming guys!!!

the kids, right before they went on their snake and bear hunt




around 11:45 pm.....getting a little bit messy!



Conli's button, and bunamana


Emily and I caught the kids jumping off the top bunk .....it was funny. I mean naughty, and they shouldn't do it or they could get hurt :) So we compromised and said they could each take one turn and then- NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE BED
