Labor Day

We spent Labor Day Weekend in Salmon visiting Adam's Grandma and Grandpa and then we went up to Wisdom and spent the weekend camping with Lukrisha, Danny, Rowdy and Rafe'. We all had such a great time, but we definitely had to borrow some warm clothes from Rowdy for the girls because I was still in summer mode and it had been a while since I had spent time in the Big Hole. It was a great way to spend the last weekend before both Montanna and Rowdy started school the next day. 

These two kids are just adorable and love playing with each other. 

Rowdy took Montanna and Eden both for rides on his 4-wheeler. They LOVED it!

They also loved getting to ride Gentle Ben and Montanna had her first experience riding a horse all by herself. Gentle Ben was just wonderful and so patient as everyone had several turns riding around the corral.

This was Rafe's first time on a horse... ever. He loved it and cried each time he had to get off.

Eden had a swollen eye most of the weekend. Both girls had their yearly check-ups the day we got back from our fun trip and the doctor thought maybe she had been bitten by a mosquito in the wrong place on her eye. She was a trooper, but walked around with her head all the way tilted back so she could see out of both of her eyes once her eye swelled shut. Poor girl!

Kindergarten!

Today was Montanna's fir st day of Kindergarten!Both of my girls are getting so big, I just can't believe it. Montanna was super excited to go to school and didn't seem nervous at all until she quieted right down with the rest of the class once we got there. All of the kids were so quiet once school started. You honestly could have heard a pin drop in the classroom. I'm sure that won't last long! :)  Once Eden and I left her at school she said that they got to color pictures, read stories and watch an alphabet movie. Sounds like a pretty good day to me!

She gave me a great 1st day pose.

So excited and happy to be going to school!

Eden had fun with me, but missed Montanna. At one point she was excited that I had put new batteries into her flashlight and she yelled out to Montanna, "Look Montanna, Mommy just put new batteries in my flashlight!".... and then she remembered that Montanna wasn't there. It will take a little getting used to, but pretty soon we will be so busy with her new little brother that she won't be looking for things to do. We played with play dough, and read stories though today while Montanna was at school.
