Day 455- Floating the Missouri river!

 A few days ago we floated the Missouri River with Kyle's parents and sister, Stephanie!
I was so confused when I learned the Missouri River goes through Montana.

 We floated and fished....

 ....And fished and floated!

Sorry,  i can't get this one to rotate!

We had so much fun!
It was so relaxing!
 This was my first time fishing... fishing license, pole in my hand, casting, and reeling! The whole works.
Sadly we didn't catch anything...not even a bite!
It was so beautiful! 

I <3 Montana!!

Day 451- Big Fork, MT

When we left Idaho Falls we had our schedule set for our trip so we could visit everyone and make back in time for Kyle to start a new job the beginning of August. 3 days in Yakima, 6 days in Entiat, 1 night in Spokane, and 7 days at Kyle's parents in Great falls. Well our plans changed, The start date for Kyle's job got pushed back. So We spent 8 days in Entiat- it's a good thing because the jeep wasn't ready on day 6. We spent one hour in Spokane. Then took a 2 day detour to see Kyle's sister and her family in Big Fork, Mt on our way to Great Falls!

It was great to get to see Nicole and Brent and the kids! Kyle lived with them in Yakima when we were dating. So I got to know them pretty well then. Right before we got married they moved back to Montana (pretty sure they only lived in Yakima so Kyle and I could meet)

Big Fork is on Flat Head Lake, it is so beautiful-- I wouldn't mind living there!

We played Strawberry river while we were there!

 Mine and Kyles shadow!

Mr. Marshall loved playing in the water!

 So did the other kids!

  Dalyn

Carli

 Eliza                 

 Nicole and Brent and the kiddos!

It was Marshall's 1st birthday!

 After dinner one night the lighting was great so i snatched him out of his highchair, got most of the sticky watermelon of is face and fingers, took his shirt off and put on this bow tie i made. Tah-dah!  I made him into my model! He is so stinkin' adorable.







We picked A LOT of cherries!
Growing up in fruit country i thought there was no way these cherries would even compare...but i was wrong! They are DELISH!!
Flat head cherries anyone?? 






 Carli with her loot of cherries!






Carli and Me in the tree!

Kyle and Marshall couldn't get enough of the cherries!

 Eliza and Kyle in the tree!!

 SO MANY CHERRIES!! :)

Thank you Nicole and Brent for letting us come visit! 

We had so much fun with you all! 

We miss you!

Day 448- Washington fun!

We had such a fun time visiting Yakima and Entiat!

Here are some pictures from the great week and a half we spent in Washington! 

 

We got to Yakima on my Papa's Birthday so we made him some banana bread and took it to him! The next evening we had a BBQ to celebrate his birthday and i made him a delicious Oreo cake.
 It was great to visit with our family while we were in town!

When we got up to Entiat the first thing i wanted to do was go boating!! .

Here is my dad Wakeboarding! 

 

My friends from Yakima came up to go boating! 

Anais, Jackie, and Brandi

 

 Here they are again, on the tube!

   

 

It was such a beautiful day out on the water!

 

My friend Jackie was leaving for Japan for 7 months so it was so fun to spend more time with her.
Jackie is Japanese and loves Hello Kitty so i made her some Hello Kitty rice crispy treats!

I have been painting Rylee's toes since she was just a month old. I paint them every time i see her now! Here are her rainbow toes!

 

My mom came up to spend a day with me! We went to Blueberry Hills in Manson and got yummy pie! 

My favorite two Six year olds! Cozy and Rylee!

 

Kyle spent all week working on his Jeep!
Above he is sanding.
To the right he and my dad are finishing taking it apart.
And below Kyle is masking....Next step paint!
I am sure by the looks of these pictures it seems Kyle had no fun, just work. But he LOVED working on his jeep and we did get some fun in. Most days Kyle would work on the jeep while my dad was at work then when my dad got home they would both work on it together for a while. But on Painting day my dad took the day off and when the paint was drying the three of us went to Chelan and spent the afternoon at the water slides!
It was a lot of hard work, but it definitely payed off!

 

Here is the before and after pictures of the Jeep!
Sorry its blurry its from my phone

So obviously our jeep was out of commission for the week so i got to drive my Dad's Jeep!
The weather was so nice we even took the top off!

Here we are along the River Walk.
The guys took a break a couple of evenings and we went to Chelan.
We introduced my dad to self serve frozen yogurt...he is now hooked!

Lake View is ALWAYS a must!

THANK YOU SOO MUCH DAD FOR ALL THE HELP ON THE JEEP AND WONDERFUL HOSPITALITY!!
Next stop Montana!!

How could we drive through Spokane and not spot and see these little cuties?!
We met my cousin Brooke, her husband Aaron and their cute little kids, Emma and Braxton for some frozen yogurt.
(have you noticed yet that we are kinda obsessed with froyo? well we are!)
