Bunk Beds

When we made the move to Idaho Falls we knew it was time to move Eden from the crib into a "big girl bed". The room they have right now has the perfect little nook for a bunk bed and so we looked on craigslist and found the perfect one for our girls almost immediately. They are both so excited. Eden is excited because there is "no more crib". She says that over and over. Montanna is excited because she gets to sleep on the top bed. We found cute matching sheets at Ross the other day and going to sleep at night and taking naps has never been easier. I don't let them sleep in the same room for naps, so we have to trade off who gets to sleep in the bunk bed when they take a nap. I love happy girls! 

Halloween.... Meow!

We took the girls to the Halloween Carnival put on by the University of Montana Western. It was totally geared towards little kids and was perfect for the girls. They had fun playing the games, eating candy and dressing up. They had a fun night. 

Grandma and Papa

We always have fun when we get to go to Bigfork and visit Grandma and Papa. It has been so nice that we have been a little bit closer and have been able to visit more often. I can't believe that I went 9 months without seeing Mom last year! We have been able to take some but trips and enjoy how beautiful Bigfork is in the summer and fall.

Montanna and Eden love snuggling up in Papa and Grandma's bed and watching cartoons. They spoil them with letting them watch tv while they take a bath and they come out squeaky clean because they don't want to get out. 

Papa carved pumpkins for the girls and they got to tell him if they wanted a happy face or a scary face. Montanna wanted a scary face and Eden's was happy.

I may need to cut Eden's bangs. :)

Great Grandma with Montanna and Eden.

Montanna climbed a tree in the backyard. We watched the squirrels, chipmonks and birds that live in the yard. Montanna and Eden had fun throwing seeds to all the animals and then coming in and watching them from the kitchen window. 

I think there was something up in her tree. 

Eden's turn for a photo shoot. 

By baby girl is getting so big! She is now as old as Montanna was when she was born! That is so crazy to me. 

My two girlies. 

Me, trying out short hair. What do you think?

Montanna and Papa

We had such a fun trip, but we are always excited to pick up Daddy from the airport and see him again. We miss him on these trips.

We've Been Busy!

These girls have been best buddies lately. They play and have fun together and have been chasing each other around the house. It is so fun to see them enjoying each other in that way. Eden has started talking and saying so many more things. She copies Montanna constantly and they both want whatever the other one has. We have lots of laughing and giggling around here. We also listen to screaming and crying every once in a while, but we try not to dwell on that too much!

 Montanna and I have been doing preschool at home and we made headbands and practiced shapes. She just found out last week that she was going to be able to go to "Real Preschool" and has been talking about it ever since. 

 Montanna LOVES watermelon!

 This is a picture of a Sunday afternoon when we played Chutes and Ladders and Montanna not only made it through her first game but WON!

Eden and one of her hats. She loves hats and grabs whatever hat of Adam's she can find. She also likes to wear strainers and plastic kitchen bowls on her head. She goes into the kitchen and plays dress-up. Sounds like she is like her cousin Bryn who likes to do the same thing.

Bunny Slippers

We got out my old Bunny Slippers just in time for Eden to fit into them perfectly. Right now she loves bunnies, kitties, and puppies, so it is perfect. She loves putting them on. I think they look adorable.

Both girlies woke up this morning with coughs again and icky runny noses. I was hoping we were over this, but apparently not. Looks like it is going to be a get-better day. We will snuggle under blankets and watch Dora and Garfield and read lots of stories and hopefully take good naps.

Ready to go

We had lots of things on our to do list today and these girls (and Dora) were ready to go and help me out. We were able to get everything done without incident. I did tell them that they would be able to rent a movie if they were good. THEY WERE GOOD! It was not a stressful trip into town at all. I love it when that happens!

What we do when Daddy's not home...

Pop Popcorn and watch Dora the Explorer right after nap time. Montanna looked at me and said, "Mommy, I'm just like Daddy!" She knows that Daddy loves eating popcorn while watching movies. As you can tell, these girls love Dora, especially the little one right now! And... they miss their Daddy.

Grandma and Papa

My sister Lesley had a baby on August 26 and we are so excited to have another little cousin and neice. My mom and dad were able to go down and see her this last weekend and cuddle with this little sweetie. I can't wait until I get to see her and hold her! She just looks precious. 

On the way to visit Lesley and her family, mom and dad stopped and had lunch and spent some time with Lauren and Brynlee in Idaho Falls and on the way back home, they stopped and had lunch with us and played for a little while. We were so excited they stopped through. Montanna and Eden had so much fun with Grandma and Papa.

Papa, Grandma and the girls. Thanks for stopping by!

Labor Day Parade

When we told Montanna and Eden we were going to a parade this morning, they didn't really know what that was. The last parade Montanna had been to was the Blanding 4th of July Parade last year right after she had turned 2. She had so much fun at that parade, but it had been a little over a year so she didn't remember. We told her that there would be lots of different floats, fire trucks, horses, and kids going by us and most of them would be throwing candy at her. She was on board from the beginning and super excited especially at the mention of candy, which is a word that Eden both understands and can say as well. These girls had fun and also got enough candy to last months!

The fire truck!

Eden watching Montanna eat candy. When I was emptying the bag of candy into a secret hiding spot, I couldn't believe the amount of wrappers I found and realized Montanna had been eating candy nonstop since she started getting it. She may have overdone it a little bit. :)

Eden was a little shy at first, but towards the end of the parade, she understood what she was supposed to be doing and got excited about grabbing candy off the street.
