Weekend Projects & Suce Creek

Over the weekend we finally got some rain. There are four wildfires nearby that needed the help. The rain kept us indoors on Saturday so we found a project for us. We tore down the craft closet that is in our family room & are turning it into a reading nook. =)

Oh just reading to his wife. 

This room needs lots of paint. It'll eventually be light gray with white trim. The bench Tyson has his foot on will be white, too. 

Chalkboard wall! 

My contribution to the "time capsule". Tyson added "Tyson loves Megan 110% of the time". Whoops. 

The boys adding their contribution. It's all hidden behind the bench. 

On Sunday we headed into the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness for a hike & picnic. We went on the Suce Creek Trail. It's about 5 miles round trip but we only made it about 4 miles total. Mase is a great hiker but we always turn around when he starts asking to be carried. 

Cows. Cows everywhere. 

Where the wild things are. 

Eating his sandwich in the creek. Okayyyy. 

He has a thing for rocks. 

Taking a nap next to the creek. 

I didn't fall in this time. Go me. 

Don't mind the spitup. Arlo is happier than he looks. 

Out of all the states I've seen, Montana is easily the prettiest. 

Cheers! It's back-to-school week. =)

Bits + Pieces : an uneventful week

Mason & Margaret. We love our little chicken-cat. 

He has a crush on me. 

Pres wanted to go to day camp with a beard like Tyson's. 

Twinners 

Living with boys. 

Presley is Mason's favorite person. 

Last day of day camp!

Parking lot pictures. We were at Tyson's company picnic. 

River session. 

I love YouTube. I found kid-friendly exercise videos for the boys. 

Resting their heads on their mama. 

Hanging under our maple tree. 

Proof: Life is better when Tyson gets home from work. 

Cotton candy sunsets. They've been red lately with the wildfires nearby. 

Naughty Arlo. Always up so early. 

& then the rest of them joined us. 

I'm the creep that enjoys running in the cemetery at night. 

Full moon & Livingston Peak.

Dreamiest babe. 

He's starting 4th grade this month. :( 

Sunset play session at the river. 

He found Tyson's beard trimmer. 

All better, but with a bald spot. 

Music on Main in Bozeman. If you're gonna drink soda you better choose the good stuff : Mexican Coke. 

Saying good morning. 

Typical day. Surrounded by boys. 

Kitchen floor cuddling. 

In his smoking jacket. 

Over the Hedge, Secret Garden...or something. View of my house from the sidewalk. 

Saturday at the pond. 

He'll grow into the hat someday. 

Presley dressed up as Rigby from Regular Show. 

No more brown cabinets! Tyson gave me the white kitchen I've always wanted. Next up: butcherblock & subway tile. =) 

He's full of personality. & his dance moves will make you feel bad about yourself. They're good. 

Mama hog. Holding my hair like he owns me. Well, he does. 

Perfection. Hanging at the library on a lovely summer evening. 

Big Sky Arlo. 

While Tyson is away...
