Montana Trip

This year, we flew to Montana. The kids were so excited to fly on a big airplane!

Grandma had bicycles waiting for us to use. Emily got to ride a much larger bike than her bike at home. She felt so grown up.

Our first hike was to nearby gorgeous Kootenai Creek

Steve and Brendan entered a disc golf tournament in Missoula. They got to see one of the best disc golfers in the world throw a hole in one!

We played disc golf as a family at Spiritwood in Victor, MT; one of the most beautiful courses we've played on

Lisa Seelye came to visit and we all did a hike at Bear Creek

The next day we made the short trip to Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge

During our stay we drove up north to Lolo school playground, the Missoula carousel, Big Dipper Ice Cream, and the "M" on Mt. Sentinel

Grandpa helped us make stained glass window light catchers

January through March

Came into Brendan's room one morning in January and saw that Emily had climbed into bed with him to read. How adorable are these two reading together?

In February, Brendan participated in the crossover ceremony to go from a Cub Scout to a Boy Scout.

Emily's 2nd grade teacher assigned each child to make a Valentine's Day castle with their families. We all worked together and Em was very proud of what we made together. For the party, she dressed up in her most princess-y outfit.
