I'm focused...

The other day, we were coloring, so, of course, I was taking pictures...

Then I was told to stop taking pictures because she needed to focus...

She is so cute and so TWO at the same time!

Have a wonderful day!

Ciao a tutti!

Go Cats....

Every fall, we seriously look forward to going to MSU football games. This year we didn't get our usual season tickets, but looked at the schedule and picked one game to go to. Saturday was our game day and what a day it was! November is an interesting month in Montana. Typically winter visits us pretty early (It is not unusual for winter to begin sometime in October even), but this year, fall lasted until this past Sunday (we woke up today with rain that looked like it would turn to snow).

Saturday was a GREAT football day! The weather was FANTASTIC! And the Bobcats won! It was a fun family day together, outside, cheering on our favorite team...even Gwen was getting into it (at least until it was past her nap time)! Here are some fun pics of our day...

Have a wonderful Monday!

Ciao a tutti!

Almost long enough...

We are getting there...very...slowly...Gwen's hair is almost long enough for 'real' pig tails. Or I should say 'due' pig tails (Gwen still says 'due' instead of two...I LOVE THIS!!!). They were really cute...

Now, this cuteness doesn't last long...or maybe until nap time when it looks like a cyclone hit, but until then...she is VERY cute!

Have a wonderful day!

Ciao a tutti!

Love this Girl...

One last post for today! My wireless thingy on my computer is on the fritz, so I need to take advantage of it when it works! So here is one of my favorite pics of Gwen this October...

I am constantly amazed how fast she is growing up...girls mature so much faster! She is such a little girl...no babies in this house anymore!

Have a wonderful day!

Ciao a tutti!

A Knight's Tale...

This year Gwen needed to be a princess. I don't know that she exactly asked to be a princess, but after being in Italy for 3 months and visiting castles on almost a daily basis, she NEEDED to be a princess! Then I got the idea that the boys needed to be knights to go along with our princess. Case wanted to be a bow hunter, Clayton wanted to be a super hero, but they NEEDED to be knights! I won them over with the swords! Next year Case gets to pick (he told me that he would be the hunter and the brother and sister would be elk! We'll work on that a bit!). I really tried to convince Clayton he needed to be the dragon, but he just wasn't interested, that's ok, he was a really cute knight!

The 2 knights of the round table (we got LOTS of compliments on our costumes this year!)...

And the damsel in distress (or maybe the damsel creating the distress...gotta love little sisters!)...

They all REALLY enjoyed dressing up this year...super fun...

Have a wonderful day!

Ciao a tutti!

Party Decor...

This year's Halloween party was super fun! Here is a quick before look...

Goody bags (if there is paper involved...I just can't help myself...must stamp and glue something to it)...

The house all decked out...I personally LOVE the addition of the spider web...those log beams were screaming for spiders!

Have a wonderful Monday!

Ciao a tutti!

J is for...

Jack-o-lanterns! Every year we go to the pumpkin patch. We bring home our orange balls of happiness and enjoy them all October. Then the artistic Tobin turns them into fun glowing faces! First, get the guts out!

Second, Tobin lets his pumpkin carving talents shine through...

And finally, we are left with the 3 B's of Halloween! A buffalo for Clayton...

A Beauty for Gwendolyn...

And a Buzz for Case (ok, you have to use your imagination here, but really, it was a good try!)...

I hope you had a wonderful spooky weekend!
Ciao a tutti!
