Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go. For the children, they mark, and the children they know the place where the sidewalk ends.

MONTANA SNOW FUN

We cant' go to Montana this time of year and not play in the snow! We went up to a park near where my mom and live and let the kids go sledding...

Papa also brought his snow shoes...

It was a good thing, because the snow was so deep, that until I put snow shoes on, I kept taking steps and disappearing up to my thighs (kind of scary with Anne in the Baby Bjorn).

As much snow as their was, it was actually quite warm (in the 40's)...Anne started getting mad at being so bundled up, so she went in the car with Nanny

The kids and Evan had a blast going down the hills.



I came upon Heather laying in the snow with her eyes closed, catching snowflakes with her tongue...



Ewan got pretty tired climbing back up the hill each time...he would cry all the way up the hill and then ride back down, cry all the way up and ride back down...



It was fun to have one last snow adventure...but I sure am ready for spring!

CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, BOZEMAN MT

We took the kids to the Children's museum when we were in Montana...

Ilima and Jonathan

Cameron had so much fun playing with old computer parts and pretending to build a Computer

WE'RE BACK!

We spent our spring break in Montana visiting my family...It was a whirlwind trip, but we had so much fun getting to play with cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles and Nanny's dog Lexie...
Aaron and Ilima's little boy, Jonathan...he was too shy to let me smooch on him as much as I wanted. It took great self control to keep my lips off his little cheeks.

I love this picture of Aaron and Ilima's little girl, Sheena saying the blessing on the food...

Eating lunch at Aunt Holly's restaurant.
Twirling with Papa in the kitchen...


My mom will kill me for putting this picture up on my blog...too bad! I love it! My poor mom is like the Energizer Bunny, going, going all the time, and when she finally does sit down, she zonks!
Papa and Anne
Ewan and Heather with Jonathan
Anne fell asleep in Aunt Holly's arms.

We decided Heather looks a lot like Uncle Ben, what do you think?

The kids had a BLAST playing with all of our old toys my mom dug out. My old Barbies were a hit. Check out the naked dude in the blue chair. Can you guess who he is? Yup. Micheal Jackson. There is something TRULY disturbing about children playing with a naked Micheal Jackson doll...

Decorating Bunny cupcakes at Aaron and Ilimas.

Heather tried on Papa's glasses and looked up so adoringly...so glad I caught this moment...

ANNIE THE POOH

Our little butter ball is Five months old...here are some recent highlights in the life of a five month old... Her adoring brothers and sister have starting calling her Annie the Pooh...
BABY FOOD! She is still getting the hang of it. I LOVE pictures of babies with food all over their faces. I guess it's one of those things that's only cute for brief window of time in your life :)


Let the drool begin...wont' be long until those teeth appear...


On here five month birthday...
I can't stop nibbling on her. She is just delicious!
