Jordan and Jackie's Wedding

Jordan got married on September 23rd!  Whoa, that makes me feel really old for some reason.  To me, Jordan will always seem like my 8 year-old brother...in a good way :o)  Here are just a few pictures from their big celebration.  I hardly got any of the Bride, Groom , Reception, or actual ceremony.  I guess I'll have to steal some from someone who wasn't taking pictures of the babies the whole time :o)

Little Miss Eden--Love that bald head!

Miriam and Sophie

Liam and Auntie Sammie

This picture isn't totally in focus, but I love it anyway!

My Grandpa Tom

My Grandma Ruth and Grandma Jeannette--They match...ha..I just noticed that!

The handsome groom.  Man!  Did he look good in his chocolate brown tux!

I just love this picture of Heather and the crew.  She looks in a hurry with a tired baby and tag-along big sister!

Liam was tuckered out too...it was a HOT day.

AWWW...Liam giving my cousin Candi a big "nice to meet you" hug!

Liam and Great Grandma Ruth...so sweet

It was hot here too.

It was a good trip...short, but good!

10-11-11 Bedtime Giggles

Because Clint generally only has a few hours to spend with Liam on the week nights it is custom for him to put Baby Fin to bed.  The usually have some pretty rough times...as you can see *wink*

A Few Random Summer Pictures

FRUIT!!!

SOOOO...what have I been doing with my time whilst not teaching music...CANNING FRUIT!!!!  At first it was really fun, but now I SERIOUSLY need a canning break.  Here's what I'm talking about

WE PICKED:

17 lbs. raspberries

46 lbs. yellow plumbs

15 lbs. purple plumbs

90 lbs. apples

CANNED:

15 pints raspberry jam

12 quarts apple pie filling

12 pints yellow plumb sauce

24 pints yellow plumb jam

12 pints purple plumb jam

5 pints habanero plumb jam

16 pints apple butter

9 quarts applesauce

Before this fall I'd never canned anything in my life!  I had a few mishaps, a few injuries, and a few successes!  

Liam likes picking apples too

The Park

We discovered a fun little park in Polson that we have visited a few times.  Liam loves the swing, and Lindi loves the smells.  All around, everyone leaves pretty happy :o)

Weekend Trip To Conrad, MT

This past weekend we traveled to Conrad to visit Clint's family...Liam was DEFINITELY not attention deprived.  

Liam and Uncle Alex have a special bond...could it be the matching sweatshirts?

Nap Time---HEART!

Liam playing piano with Auntie Shannalee...Liam LOVES music!  Especially singing.  It's positive...he has our bloodline!

Play Liam, Play!

Pinch!

Liam and Great-Grandpa Don.  Grandpa Don gave Liam some special handmade cars and trucks this weekend.  I see some fun times making vroom noises ahead.

All the boys!

Liam, the newsie!

Stopping in West Glacier for a quick picture

One more stop

9 Months

Wow, I have not been very good at updating the blog lately!  Sorry about that, life has gotten in the way.  I will hopefully catch you up on what has been happening with us over the next week or so.  Here are a few pictures from this past weekend.  We traveled to Conrad, MT to visit Clint's family.  On the way home we snapped a few pictures in West Glacier.  The colors are SO BEAUTIFUL there right now.  Liam was such a good little traveler as you can see by the grin plastered to his face.  

Last week was Liam's 9 month check up.  He went to a new doctor in Whitefish...Dr. BANE French (what did the poor guy do to deserve a name like that?!?!   I guess he showed his parents what was up by becoming a doctor of medicine! Yeah, that's right Mom and Dad, a PEDIATRICIAN!)  I missed Dr. Rurick, but Liam liked him just fine.  He was 19 lbs. and 13 oz. and was 29 inches long...Liam was pretty long and heavy too...*wink*...  Which means he has grown 4 inches since we have moved to MT!  HOLY COW!  What's in the water here?! I was wondering why he didn't get to wear some of his clothes more than a handful of times.  

Liam is ALMOST crawling.  He pushes himself up and scoots himself BACKWARDS...whoops!  haha.  He seems to scoot and roll to get to where he needs to be...aka...where his best toys are!  He sure is at a fun age, then again all of the stages have been precious so far.  My little cuddle bug is long gone though; he prefers to be on the "look-out" at all times.  What a little monkey he is! 

More soon!
