Montana Visit to see the real HOUSE!

My mom was building her house and I just couldn't believe it. I really wanted to see if for my own eyes and help in any way that I could.

I found a "cheap" flight to MT and so Michelle and I took off to MT.

Grandma McNiven picked us up at the airport and then we needed to go to the laundry mat before leaving Billings.

I remember riding and pushing these around when I was little so I had to put Michelle in them.

She was a tired little girl and since it is such a long way from Billings to my mom's house, she fell asleep.

Look at those boots!!!

 My perfect little sweetie

 She is just too much cuteness

Michelle stayed with Grandma one night while I reminisced and went to a Huntley Project Football Game

I went with my parents to one of their Happy Pappy Hold-Ups.

My dad did his thing and then he mentioned that his 29th grandchild was here, I lifted Michelle up and without telling her to, she started waving as if she and Grandpa had been practicing it and she was right on que.

It was the cutest thing ever!

We visited Jon & Tana

This is another Happy Pappy Hold-up but the temperatures were warm enough to have it at their campsite.

I didn't get to work on the house as much as I had wanted to because they were doing these tours but I did get to help put the tile and grout in the kitchen and bathrooms and also the front entryway. I was glad that I got to see it with my own eyes and that I got to help out in a small way.

Flag Football 2016

Matthew and Allison both played Flag Football in the fall.

Allison had one other girl on her team, and that girl was really good.

Allison and Julianne

Michelle was always such a great fan

Here is Matthew's team.

He also had one girl on his team and she was good as well. 

She was also the coaches daughter.

Allison's 8 Year Old Photoshoot

I wanted to get some pictures of Allison in her pure white dress and then make invitations out of them.

We went one night but it got to dark so we went the next day as well, though you can't really see a big difference in them, I don't think. However, I did get one I really liked for the invitation.

We were on our friend's lawn. 

We went to the backyard and I saw this goose but the lake.

I was trying to tell Allison to be really cautious with this goose because I just wasn't sure what it would do.

She got closer and closer and then all of the sudden I saw her like hit it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! She is such a sweet girl and yet she was hitting this goose?  I was almost ready to get upset with her when it finally dawned on me that the goose wasn't real!!!!!

IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!

I thought she hit a real goose! She knew it was fake, but I sure didn't.

We laughed and laughed and laughed about that.
