Montana Pt.2

Part one below ( pictures off camera )

This isn't all in order since I took lots with my phone and some with my camera. So these are the ones of the phone!

 Levi is an awesome traveller!

 Going from blue skies and greenery to snow and fog at the top of "going to the sun road".

 This is logan's pass visitors center. It was so cold!!

 At one point we couldn't even see over the edge it was so foggy.

 Levi was fascinated by this old man statue at the general store.

 Levi's birthday cup cakes.

 Thanks Zack, Lauren, and Lucas for the fun birthday present!

 This is not the best picture of Levi but it show the cute cabins!

 Mini golf at the campground.


On the way home we drove home through Townsend MT, my old hometown. These photos won't be much to anyone else but their special to me.

 2 of the 4 old houses we lived in.

 Our old school.

 I loved getting to drive through, it made it quite a bit longer of a trip but was so worth it.

We loved seeing all the different parts of Montana landscape. Its such a beautiful state.

 On June 21st we headed down to Missoula! Logans pass was closed for construction but just opened up on that friday and you could tell it was the first day it was open. It was pretty busy! It was so beautiful to drive through and see all the mountains. We stopped and had lunch at the top at the visitors center where it was rainy and only 6 degrees!

 It was a long drive but probably my favourite part of the trip. It took us 9 hours to get there instead of 5.5 hours. But with a 3 month old who still nurses quite frequently we had to make a lot of stops. I feel like I planned our trip really well, but once we were on the road I realized I really lacked in the mapping out our drive part. So we kind of just winged it with a free map from the gate getting into glacier park. One thing I learned is Montana does not put up a lot of "welcome to ____" signs. Sometimes we had no idea what town we were in but we still made it!

 Saturday mornings breakfast of pancakes!

 Luc looking not so impressed with me!

 Friday night we did Levi's birthday! Its not actually till the 19th of this month but the nice thing about summer birthdays is you can kind of clump them in with whatever holiday your going on. We got Levi this little hikin back pack and the hiking shoes. The back pack even has a bladder like dads! More pictures of the birthday to come when I do part 2 with my phones pictures.

 This kid is a traveling rock star!

In Missoula I had planned a few things to do with the kids. They have a carousel ride and dragons hallow.

 It took a lot of work to get Levi on this, he doesn't like fast things. So after the Wolffs had already done it Levi decided he'd do it. We were so proud of him once he did it. It was pretty scary for him. And if you know Levi once he makes up his mind that he's not doing something there is no changing it!

 This is Dragons Hallow Park, it was all wooden and it was big!  Levi loved it! I loved it to since it was all fenced in and I didn't have to worry about him going off somewhere.

This doesn't even show all of it, on the right of the picture there's a little toddler part.

Fathers Day & Mission Call

Yesterday Dave got asked to go work in Medicine Hat for the weekend. Thanks Palladin for a paid vacation! Of course we will go, since your paying gas and our hotel! Because Dave's now working Fathers day we celebrated early. Levi picked out a cake that of course has a "hiking shirt" on it.

 Happy Fathers Day Dave! I couldn't ask for a better Father for my boys! 

I had Levi fill out a little questionnaire about his dad here's a few of his answers:

Whats color are dads eyes: purple

Whats his favourite food: bread

What does he like to do: hike the mountains

Whats his favorite color: pink

Whats his hair color: none

After cake and ice cream we headed out to my parents to go open Justin's mission call. We all put up guesses to where we thought he was going. None of us were even close!

 The Lubbock Texas Mission - spanish speaking. Same mission my brother Darren served! Were all so proud and excited for Justin. I teared up a bit on the way out, its bitter sweet moment for me. I've always been close with Justin, it was just us for four years at home so we grew really close even tho there is four years between us. He's been an amazing uncle and he's one of my best friends! Were sad to see you go but happy your going.

 Of course we had to squish in the nieces and nephews that were there!

Love ya JJ!

Family Center

Daves been doing a lot of night shifts lately. I really hate them, I can handle one or two but hes done 7 in the last week and half and I just want my husband back. I just want a day to get stuff done around our house. A day where he's all mine! 

Luckily Dave sleeps through quite a bit but its still hard to keep two small children quiet for 8 hours a day. So I've been trying to get out more in the mornings to help break up our day. Lately we've been hitting the family center a lot. Levi loves it there! Every day they have a small play room open from 8-8 and then Wednesday and Friday mornings they have a massive play room open. There's so much to do in the big room!

 

I finally remembered to bring my camera this morning and get some pictures! This is in the small room, I forgot to pull out the camera once we went into the big room!
