Sunday morning, Brent took Conli and Max on a ride up the Alpine Loop. I would've gone, but Sawyer needed a nap- good thing we stayed home- cuz she didn't sleep.....LAME!!!

they did have fun though- daddy even let them stick their feet in Bridal Veil coldness

it's always so beautiful up there in those mountains

Thursday night, Brent and Matt decided they needed to make a 24 hour trip to Billings....WHATEVER....but, duty called- so they went....pure looney tunes if you ask me. We made the most of it by going on bike rides to the temple, swimming our fannies off at Ange and Janeia's and after we got our jammers on Friday night, I couldn't put off my craving for something naughty any more! We rushed over to MickeyD's and got some fries/yogurt parfaits- my attempt at a "healthy treat", and hot fudge sundaes....oh DELISH.....and neveryoumind that i did scrape out every last bit of hot fudgey goodness out of those girls' cups...i am the bottomless pit of neverending hunger....sigh

For FHE the "wonderful Sheri" got us tickets to the Owlz game, so we got to go with Knights!!!!

Tay and Max busted out their killer ROBOT moves

always loving the dressed up peeps

these lil ones could play for endless amounts of time...their little conversations are the best, and their love=timeless :)

Max got put on time out for not listening- poor lil guy- had to document

the Ramey family
*on a sidenote* yes i do realize this angle wasn't deluxe

most of the gang.
added bonus= cousins Dan+Sara and their cute lil clan were there too!

someone in a bad mood....

ahhhh friends

sup yo

more photog by conli....quite cool actually....and the hairy little girl legs---- priceless!

the most fun is the hill you get to sit on/run up and down/slide down the entire game....we moved about 2 feet south whilst watching the game

the red headed babes


Heather's house is always the most fun, so some days we get to go over and enjoy/covet her backyard....someday lis, someday.....

don't mind the cheeks' exposure

slip

n' slide


Ange turned 30!!!!

Janei'a and Josh threw the best surprise party!!!

Summer, Me, Nicolle, Janei'a, Ange, Kelly, Ashley, Kim

we couldn't find a lighter, so Sean fashioned one out of paper and the stove....good thinkin slim

this was how surprised she was when she discovered all of us hiding out....well, maybe she wasn't this surprised, and maybe we reenacted it for photos sakes!

good eats, good friends, awesome pool house to celebrate at!!!

My children are OBSESSED with taking pictures of all things.....Max was apparently doing a photo shoot as some Star Wars person-- i know who it is, but no idea how to spell it....but for your viewing pleasure:

my most favorite, because it showcases Sawyer's ravishing morning bed head!!!

For FHE after the 4th, we got to go to Culdesac of fire with Summer's fam. It's always a good time with those folks!

Con, Bubba and Sawyer kept themselves plenty busy on bikes and the like

Jess loves to come along on all our little ventures with our friends- such a good sport is he!
WE LOVE YOU UNCA JESS

Go MAX!!!!

spectators spectatin'

ahhhhh sparklies

sooooo fun!

conli was quite brave this night surprisingly enough!

sawyer was a little nervous at first, but got over it

here Max was seeing how close he could get to the deer at Sean and Sum's. He got pretty close. He's kind of a deer whisperer.


I have FINALLY given in to Sawyer's consistent need to go potty on the "toelet"
i HATE potty training....and I'm not really trying very hard. I guarantee if I did, she'd be good to go within 2 days. She's been begging me, and taking her diapers off for about 3 months....but UGH, it's just annoying to me.....I guess she'll have to do it sometime! So, here goes nothin!

she also likes trying on my clothes. At the rate she's going she'll be able to wear them in no time, so I guess it's good she likes them!

remember how we had a going away BBQ for Dar and Aaron my last post??? Well, they left. They moved. HATE IT!!!!!! Nothing like having some of your very best friends of your whole life move far away. It truly sucks. We miss you guys!

Dar, Summer (the trooper=she'd had a baby 4 days before this) and I went to Zupas the day before they moved for one last lunch together.....so good....

i love you Darla!!!!
