Golfing is a big deal during this trip. Nate golfed with my dad & uncles Friday in Miles City. If I remember right, he won something but gave it to my dad. He's so sweet. Then Saturday and Sunday he golfed with Cousin Dan and Tia. He won again! Longest drive and closest to pin. Woo Hoo!!
You'll never guess, but my only photos of the trip are in the car of {you guessed it} MY DOGS! :) I know all of you LOVE seeing photos of my pups so here you are! I also took some off my cousins facebook and picassa so you can see a slice of our family love :) ***My dad helped me add more family love photos. What a blog-saver! ***
One morning I was getting ready at the house by myself {most everyone knows I do not do well when I am by myself, a little fear of mine} and Jeter just started barking like crazy. My heart was out of my chest! I went to find and there he was, staring out the upstairs window (his favorite thing to do) barking at my Mom's favorite visitors {mainly their little presents they leave her, kidding} After my heart went back inside my chest I did what every city person does. I grabbed my camera and took photos! You'd think I've never seen a deer before ;)
{dad, I think you need to do something about your dead spots}
A better photo of the painting I did for my dad.
I don't know why, but I love the shape, texture and the character I interpret from a dogs mouth.
Bridger's is extremely funny to me.
He loves photos with me :)
Jeter is the best travel dog. This is what he does the ENTIRE time. I always wish Bridger would do it for at least a quarter of the trip. No such luck.
My first rain barrel I painted for Mom from us kids! She loved it!
Nate chipping. Tia observing.
She loves the babies!
Napping in the middle of the day, it runs in the family :)
Grandma LOVES her g-grandbabies!
Just the lucky ones made this photo-op, not everyone is present.
Note: that is my cousin next to Nate at the top, not me!
Dan's girlfriend stands out like a sore thumb in our family.
Take a look at what is behind her waist :)
Who knows what they were doing here.
My two aunts are special and so are their daughters!
The cutest 2nd cousins in the world!
Gotta have ribs.
My two favorite love birds. Hopefully, we didn't scare Lena away. She is an amazing lady and a perfect match for my little brother! I hope she can visit again at Christmas.
More two love birds.
Joey loves playing with my dad
Tia and Jake in deep convo with Uncle Mike.
My fun loving husband. He's the greatest!
My twin cousin's, Brandi, little girl, Bella. Isn't she a doll! She looks just like her mom at this age. She is warming up to Uncle Jay now.
The two farm lovebirds! Their busy with peas and wheat this year and loving on a new kitty. Never thought my sis would own a kitty, but she does and loves it! I think she does because it kills the mice ;)
I love my husband! He asked if he could hold baby Lucianna. He's so sweet!
My dad and I love how "fatherly" Nate is in the background ;)
Conversation in the kitchen with food in one hand and Mike's Marg in the other is a must!
Pig's Butt
Dad's cooking is what we really look forward to the most! Nate is starting to request food when we go home. I always leave ten pounds heavier, but that's ok. I was taught by my very intelligent grandpa to enjoy every bit that goes into my mouth. Even if it is just a slice of bread wrapped around a hunk of meat loaf :) -- If my dad was going to make me lunch during high school, this is what his special treat was. Secretly, I really enjoyed it because he would add ketchup! YUMM-O
The Italian Stallions relaxing with their babes!
This is a storm chaser vehicle that stayed in Glendive for a few nights or one night. (I have a very bad memory!) I can't remember where they were from. My parents talked to them for a long time and learned all the interesting facts. There is an actual pickup under there! If you all remember, there were tornadoes through MT around this time. Scary!
Another successful Memorial with tons of golf, love and food. Can't wait for next year!! Maybe I'll take some photos of my own ;)
Uncle Jay wants you to ask Nate about those golf winnings.
