Family and Babies

We were so lucky to have Ben and Linda Lee's family here in Idaho Falls for about a month while Ben was in the middle of job transfers. We had so much fun with them while they were here and of course, I didn't get very many pictures. I seriously need to get better at taking pictures. We miss them so much now that they are in Casper, WY. Montanna and Eden loved having Lydia and Eli close for a while. Montanna and Eli are both very into horses and so you could find them playing horse most of the time they were together and Eden and Lydia liked playing dress-up, pretend playing and dancing. They are included in Montanna and Eden's daily prayers at almost every meal as well as bedtime prayers. They hope they are liking their new house and hope they can visit soon. 

Here is a picture of all three babies. Anna is the oldest, born August 20, Logan is next, born September 25, and then Rueger, born October 11. We are just missing little Penny in the picture. She was born December 9. These babies will have just as much fun as their older cousins as they get bigger. They didn't pay much attention to each other while they were here. This is a really cute picture of them though.

Adam had a pair of chaps that has been in our storage since he was a little boy and he dug them out once he saw what a little cowboy Eli was. Eli loves the movies "Man From Snowy River and Return to Snowy River" and he likes to pretend he is Jim Craig. This completed his image and he wanted to wear the cowboy pants and hat every time he came over to play. 

The cute view from behind. 

Anna was the most mobile of the babies and she is so strong. It was fun to see her and hold her while she was still little. 

Rueger laughing at me. 

Rueger talking to Montanna. I know I have said this before, but he is such a talker. He coos and babbles more than any baby we have ever had. 

He is also so happy most of the time. 

Montanna and Eden have both had special stuffed animals that they sleep with at night. Montanna actually has two that she still sleeps with. One is Wally. Wally is a monkey that used to be mine when I was little. He was very loved when he lived with me as a kid and you can tell just by looking at him that he's been through a lot, but Montanna still sleeps with him and her cat named, Meow. Eden has a monkey named Duke that she rarely lets out of her sight and Adam picked out Rueger's special animal before he was born. Hopefully he likes it as much as Adam wants him to. Adam named this little Rottweiler Puppy, Cochise.
