After four kids, ten moves and nearly two decades, we are still blissfully in love (most of the time) and I found myself back in the state I was born and raised in. It has definitely been a journey. In fact, on our 18th anniversary we pulled the last of our stuff up over the pass and into Montana, leaving our surprise love, Idaho, behind. But Montana is a great place. The last best place according to some. And we fully intend to explore as much of it as we can! Join us on our continued adventure through life, love and other stuff that comes with it.

This girl had a BIRTHDAY!!!


See this pretty girl??  This morning I asked her how my favorite seven-year-old was.  She looked at me like I was crazy and told me she was SIX. 

Apparently we need to work harder to make her birthday memorable.  Though I thought we did a pretty good job considering the fact that we had kids and horses involved in fair this week.  And grandma and grandpa and grandma were here. 

I mean seriously, how can you not remember these faces?!?!?!


And this:


The girl won't ride a bike and she got it in her head that she wanted a scooter.  So what better place to have a party than a park in town?  We took a few hours out of the fair and grandma and grandma and grandpa made sure we had food and everything.  It was a great little party and the birthday girl had a really great time I think.  I mean, look at that smile. 


I love this girl.  Her blond hair and her blue eyes and her little bird legs and her spunk and her giggle and her toothless grin.  She is awesome.

Next week she is so excited to do riding lessons just like her two older sisters. I can hardly believe how she handles that horse.  Watching her grow has been so fun.  And we are looking forward to continuing to watch her grow.   

We love you V!  Happy Birthday!!!
