One last glacier trip before its to cold

As a last hoorah before school gets in full swing we went up to glacier. Of course it's packed. After our first stop I'm pretty happy we didn't try to go to Logan's pass. It was cold!!! 

Little guy fell in the lake so he's all "booty butt" under dads jacket.

Exploring the northern side of McDonald lake in glacier national park. Getting a better look at all the new vegetation that's grown in the last 10-15 years.

Learning about the fen. The big field that was in front of us. Fen is like a bog. Big squishy meadow. Although this fen is becoming a meadow and losing its squish.

Out in the fen.

Hanging out and waiting for dad, brother and sister.

6 months of chubbiness

This little stubbornness of a baby!! Love her to sweet pieces. She can sit by herself and is doing a slow military crawl/scoot. 

Usually by now she'd be on a bottle and solid food with no more nursing. But noooo she is still solely nursing. I've tried and she refuses. I'll try again in another couple months. 

My little melon ball is wearing 12 month clothing. She's huge. But I love her <3

5 months

We finally have a rolie  polie. She not quite at the part I remember Preston bring where he took advantage of rolling over but she is definitely not staying in the same place. My 5 month old (almost 6 month by this posting) is in 12 month clothing. It's hard to keep up with her but I believe I have another good month before she's probably going to be in 18 month clothes. 

Typically (yes TMI coming) is be weaning her from nursing and gravitating to a bottle but this girl refuses. So unlike her brother and sister who at 6 months were cut off from mommy, it looks like I'll be toting her around for a couple more months. 

A month late but still 3

I've done wonderfully this time about writing about my big 3 year old boy. He's finally understanding that he has a day and he gets gift and cake (although like his father he's not to fond of cake). This year he had his moms brother, uncle Adam, and his dad's sister, aunt Chenal and girls, to help him celebrate along with both grandparents and dads cousin. This boy although still not fully potty trained is finally into big boy underwear!! Yup I had to alert you to that. We've upgraded him to a booster in the car (mainly cause Tory out grew her infant car seat but that's another post).

 I can't believe that I have only 2 short years before really debating wether or not we put him in kindergarten at 5 or 6. I believe he'll be ready at 5. He can recognize letters when he wants to and he can count to 30 when he wants to. We do have him on a waiting list for a day care that does preschool type stuff. That will help determine, plus give mommy a good morning to herself and Tory.

This kid has so many facial expressions I can't keep up. And of course he doesn't do them on demand half the time so I've been unable to capture them. 

Happy belated birthday my sweet lovable terror of a boy.

My big little girl

4 months has flown but at the same time it feels like I've always had her. Tory Mae still won't take a bottle but believe at 18 lb 4 oz she ain't starving lol. She's in the 98% for her weight and at 25" tall she's in the 75% for her height. Love my chubby pumpkin and can't wait to watch her grow :)

She got to go to California and see her uncle Adam this month. Well granted Adam was on the 5th and she turned 4 months on the 4th but oh well, now she just needs to meet Uncle Jason.

Kinder graduate

All I'm going to say is I officially have a 1st grader. It's crazy for me to think about. She did amazing this year and with next year starting the "real stuff" I'm looking forward to seeing her work hard again!

So proud of you Brianna!!!

A glacier trip

So the start of our summer started in CA really but I haven't gotten to those pictures just yet. Today we went up to glacier though for a couple hours. We're gonna go on a nice hike but the trail we picked out turned out to be not dog friendly. Got to do more research it looks like. But we went to the river and let Preston practice skipping rocks. I threw one and it skipped twice (I was sitting down and it wasn't a good skipper rock so I was happy) Preston came up to me and said mommy!! Good job honey!! 

My little boy lol taking after his dad and calling me honey.
