The rest of our Montana trip

At Brianne and Ciara's graduation party we managed to get everyone together to get a family picture. I can't believe those two are old enough to graduate, I used to babysit them all the time was I was around 13.

Our family has grown a lot the past few years.
Before we left we made one more trip into Billings for one last shopping trip and then met Gramma Pat for lunch.

Our time in the states went by way too quickly, before we knew it it was time to say our good-byes. We had a dinner at my parents house with my brother and one sister plus their families on our last night in the states.

Our trip went by fast but we had a lot of fun and were very thankful to get to see so much of our friends and family.

Hanging out at Grampa's and Gramma's

The weather was so nice while we were in Montana that Keenan was very adamant about being outside from the time he woke up until he was put to bed at night. I miss having a yard so much! It's no fun living in an apartment seven floors up with no nice lawn nearby. Hopefully at our next location we'll have a yard.

Here he is first thing in the morning, still in his jammies with his new cowboy hat.
We haven't pushed the potty training very hard but we do try to use it every so often. Why wouldn't you wear a tupperware bowl for a hat while trying to do your business?
Keenan... forever chasing cats. Gus must have really wanted some lovin' because usually the cats run the other way when they see Keenan coming.

I think the hat has a little bit of room to grow into.

Checking out the Ranch

I know, it's taking me a while to get caught up from our trip. One day while in Montana Eric and I took Keenan on a walk over to the shop and barn. He really liked seeing the horses and two bottle calves up close, the calves on the other were new to bottle fed life and weren't too friendly just yet so we admired them from afar.
"Yoo-hoo, down here!"
My little blondie.
Shocking that Keenan would want to "drive" the tractor...
We stopped in to see Aunty Gywnnie but see wasn't home so we admired her flowers. Keenan likes to smell them.
Soon as we got back from our walk my Dad came home and was getting ready to go back over to feed the calves so Keenan went with too. Christy, Cade and Avery also showed up to play, Cade decided to tag along to feed too!
Keenan loves putting on hats, here he is with Cade's.

My cowboy hat!

While still in Montana...

One night my sister Christy called up my Mom, her son Cade could be heard in the background yelling that he wanted to go to Gramma's house. Soooo... we went and picked him.

Here's Cade and Keeny (as Cade calls Keenan) on the porch "sharing" (kinda) Cade's cowboy hat.

Cowboy Keenan!

Both boys happy with hats and looking at something interesting.a
