Not sure what Eli was doing here...looks like he's about to bite Nate's bum! Thanks to my favorite junior photographers for this pic!
Everything that's important to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoops....did this one twice!
Smelling the flowers! He was funny, alwasy unpredictable. I was worried he'd be ransacking the pretty flowerbeds. As it turns out, we couldn't get him to stop smelling them!
Checking out the inside of a tulip. So pretty and delicate!
Love my little monster!Nate and I took the kids to Billings this weekend for a quick temple trip. The kids were thrilled because it meant motel with swimming pool for them. For a week, they packed and unpacked their things. Friday morning, it was no longer enough to have a swimming suit packed, Eli decided he had to wear it. So, he wore one on his bottom, and one on his head ALL day Friday! The waterslide was a hit....they swam way longer than I wanted to!
Mom and dad tended kids while Nate and I did a session on SAturday morning. BIG THANKS! Mom ended up going for a fully-clothed swim, as she had to fish Avery out of the pool! I forgot lifejackets...wooops! Mom stood at the base of the slide and grabbed kids as they came off, but Kolbe gave Avery a shove down the slide and mom had her back turned because she was getting Eli out and Avery flew past her into the pool. Mom said she tried to not panic Avery, and 'encourage' her to just swim...but after she bobbed twice and had the look of real panic, mom dove in! I'm giggling...because my mom showed up at the temple in sweats and a t-shirt, her only dry clothes! Apparently dad hurt his arm lunging for Eli as he dove in the deep end. I'm thinking the pool wasn't a good idea for grandparents with no swimming suits!
Nate and I had a very uneventful, very wonderful time at the temple. I am so thankful for each time we can return there and feel the peace of being where we should be. I love that place and the promise it holds for us. We walked the temple grounds afterwards, talking with the kids and looking at the beautiful flowers.
A perfect weekend, but I must set the record straight: Dad said to me a while back that mom doesn't snore anymore. WHATEVER!!!! She snores and moans and basically makes some awful noise from the time she lays down until she gets up! I think separate rooms await us next time!!!

I think he is smellin nate, like a dog LOL. How funny is that kid.
okay, so you said you were secretly jealous of us, so when is the next one coming???
Hey! Next time you come down you are more than welcome to come stay with us. We will even take the kids while you go to the Temple. I think our kids are pretty close to the same age. I know Eli and Carter would get along great. We could make a fun weekend of it!

We are always up for a road trip home, but (I don't want to type this but Brad is making me be realistic,hhmmpphh) that might be a tough one to make. We wouldn't be able to leave until Friday, but Brad is supposed to have a job, and we have no idea what days he will work. We would love to come home for that though. Let's see if I can work some magic...
What a fun trip and how great that your mom and dad could watch the kids while you did a session together!!
you gotta love grandparents! There's nothing like them in the whole world! Love your temple pics!
