Around our home.

Tyson bought the prettiest little vintage couch. It's gonna hang in our family room until we find a sectional that works for us.

We finally framed our posters. It only took a year. 

Lovely roses from my garden. =)

Playing at the park in jammies. 

Presley started summer day camp last week. It's such a great program & it keeps him busy. 

Mason started part time "school". Tyson's company has on-site childcare that provides a preschool curriculum. He goes for half a day twice a week & has papa in the same building. We're pretty excited for him. 

Last Tuesday was our first Montana anniversary. Has it already been a year?!!

I tried taking all 3 boys to the farmers market right before a storm was due. By the time we were all out of the car & walking to the market it had made its way to us. Wind was blowing dust everywhere & everyone was frantically packing up their booths. We ran under a tree to open our umbrella before running to the car, but the crazy rain started falling. The people in the booth by us packed us in their truck! We waited out the storm & then they drove us to our car. Amazing people & our new friends. 

Celebrating Tyson & Presley.

In addition to Father's Day, last Sunday was Presley's 9th birthday. Nine. He's nine. Yikes. We gave Pres a few little gifts & then the boys gave Tyson cards they each made for him. I made them all breakfast & then they headed to the movies to watch my boyfriend in Man of Steel. Instead of a birthday party Presley invited a few friends with him. Mason, Arlo, & I watched tv & made Minecraft themed "Creeper" cupcakes. We skyped with family, played by the river, & wrapped the night up with homemade in-n-out copycat burgers. Those boys are cherished. Also, it's crazy to think that Tyson & I started dating right before Presley turned 5. He even earned so many points for getting him a little birthday gift. ;) 

Front yard camp out.

I'm not quite brave enough to take Arlo camping just yet so we opted for a practice round in our yard. The boys set up a tent & Tyson parked his land cruiser out front so we could use the camp stove he keeps in the back. We had hotdogs & s'mores, & told scary stories before Arlo & I went inside the house for the evening.

The next day we hopped in the land cruiser & headed up mill creek canyon. I will never get tired of our long, weekend drives around this beautiful place we call home.
