Isaac's Reach


Here is a picture of ID getting his sippy cup. He is now using our bar stools to get him the extra 3 feet he needs to reach things. He has no fear!

Notice the dogs prepared for any morsal that may hit the floor.

We figured the trash can would be a good break for the possible fall. Just kidding, actually he was safe and got back down with a little unsolicited help from his disgruntled father.

Opening Day at Big Mountain



oops, I mean Whitefish Mountain Resort. Dave, Carson and I all have season passes. Carson has been asking when we get to ski for almost 6 months now, so we were excited to take him today. Isaac did some riding too. We are going again tomorrow!

Isaac Sorting Shapes (Sort of)

Here is a video of ID sorting shapes. He likes to try to jam each shape into any slot.... I usually help him find the right one. He was feeling stubborn on this take.

Christmas 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007

Here are some pictures reflecting on the past four years. A lot has changed!

Oh Christmas Tree

We got our tree today... Montana style. We drove to the national forest (10 miles from our house), hiked, found the tree we wanted, chopped it down and drug it to the truck. While tree shopping in the forest, it is easy to fall in love with a tree only to realize that it is 40 feet tall, even though it is much shorter than the others around it.


The boys had a blast. Isaac, still not sure of snow (there was 6 inches) mainly stood in one place. Carson, on the other hand, was all over. He especially loved shaking the trees to get the snow off and eating snow (white only!). Here is a video of Carson feeding Isaac snow.


Dave pulled Carson up the road on the sled... and had Issac on his shoulders while dragging the tree back down. He never gets tired!


Finally, sledding with the boys. Carson loved it... the dogs ran along too. Isaac was not quite sure.... give it a couple of months, he will be at home with snow! Hank leads the group, and Jake fills the caboose position. It was so fun to watch!

Our New Truck




Many of you have felt it has been overdue for Dave to get a new vehicle. We did it! Here are some pictures of our new rig. Don't worry, we still have the Bronco for you visitors who need a car while you are here! We fit all 6 of us in it... the boys love it!
