Pumpkin Patch

For playdate one day we headed out to the local pumpkin patch. It was my first "true" outing with both girls by myself. I didn't bring our new double stroller - will definitely NOT make that mistake again. One major thing about having two? I don't get nearly as many pictures as I would like...these I got after every one else had left and we were trying to get ready to go.

This is boring mom, let's go.



Etta playing in the hay.



Dat's MY pumpkin!

Pep Rally

We skidded into Bozeman (after stopping at the Urgent Care in Belgrade to get medication for the PINK EYE I woke up with...) 15 minutes before Erik's pep rally started. Of course he was excited to see his #1 girl, and meet his #2 #1 girl. It was beautiful weather and a really fun time.

What do you see over there?



New hat at mittens from Uncle.



The band.



Look at that horn angle! So proud of Uncle Eek!!

"Cozy"

Etta's thought on Erik's bed.

Football Game!!

Go Cats Go!

Bob & Etta took in the first half of the MSU Homecoming game. Well, mostly Bob as apparently Etta slept all of the first quarter on his lap...This was toward the end of the second quarter.

Etta and Champ.



The best part of football games? Popcorn! Thanks Grandma Cathy!!



[Note: Grandma Cathy introduced Etta to popcorn at football games. Grandma Cynthia bought the pictured box - and one more!]

Learning from The Master

I learned to play all sorts of different card games from my dad. I hope the tradition continues.

A Parade!

When we traveled to Bozeman for MSU Homecoming we were able to go to a parade. One of Etta's very favorite things.

Being patriotic waiting for the parade to start. [Note: She would NOT get out of the stroller for the entire parade. I don't know if she was cold or what. But it makes it easier for us.]



The horses "dancing".



Here comes the marching band!!



Uncle Erik's roommate, Steven. He is one of the two drum majors.



Uncle Eek-Eek and his trumpet.



Motorcycles!! Dat's my FAVORITE!!



Etta is going to be an MSU cheerleader for Halloween. She wants a motorcycle to complete the costume.



Giants stinkies that "handed out" Tootsie rolls.



John Tester, Montana Senator. With Grandma Cynthia giving him a thumbs up.



Close, but no cigar.



And Mae Victoria. Enjoying the parade how she enjoys most things these days...

Great Grandma

The girls are blessed to have two sets of grandparents and a set of great grandparents. We love Barb and Lynn!

Matching pink girls.



So gentle.



Kisses.
