Kiddos

For those who have been in Seattle this summer you know that we've had some pretty bad weather, at least that is my opinion. Right now its in the mid 50's, needless to say we've still had to mow the lawn a hand full of times, but luckily haven't had to water it very often.

Friday night Tia wanted to help me mow the law, and Dylan couldn't believe what his sister was doing...


Tia helping dad mow


Tia all smiles because she's all done!



Dylan can't believe his sister is mowing the lawn...
he wants to know when its his turn!
Dad could only wish!

Montana Trip

Recently, well more like a few weeks ago, we went to Big Timber for a little horseback riding and hanging out with Alayne's family.

Here are a few pictures:


Bruce and Louise walking to the barn after Louise, Alex, Clotilde and Paxton had been
riding horses behind the house.


The view from across the valley of Bruce and Louise's house (it's the one
in the center with the red roof on the garage, house is far building on the left)


Alayne, Clotilde and Alex riding up to Meatrack


Dylan is on the go! And he was go go go the entire time!


Clotilde ready to go!

Yes he does make dirt look good! Ethan having fun at the
Big Timber Rodeo


Last summer there was a HUGE forest fire at Bruce & Louise's house.
This summer we took four wheelers to the area where the fire went
through.



Here you can see how green it is where the fire was. This area is
being logged to help new growth.


Here are the trees that have been logged.

Tia and her dad on Butch riding at the house... Tia had a lot of fun
riding this trip. She even went on Butch by herself, big steps!


Dylan, Tia and Papa Bruce on the four wheeler. Everyone is having
a goooooood time!


Tia had such a good time that she feel asleep at the dinner table.
