Lots of fun!

Baking day with Paige.  We made goodies from our garden.  Zucchini bread and cookies.  She loved being my personal assistance.  

Zoodacate at the rec center.  Montana zoo brought some animals to show and then face painting and animal fun.

Don't smile Cloe!  What a smirk Kota.  Now dad didn't have to try that hard I think kids who didn't want to behave on the restaurant did it!

Pizza Hut out with the family!  Goof balls! :)

We've been enjoying fort making. One of Paige's master pieces!  Look how proud!

Busy start...

The girls started the school year out with lots of activities...Cloe picked cheerleading it was fun to see her have fun with it and enjoy her friends.  Kota and Paige picked soccer and it was also fun to watch them play.  Paige's first big activity and she was super cute she'd run up to the action and the ball and then back up and then run to the ball and back up again.  Too cute.  Brent was step in coach for Paige's team I must say that was pretty fun to watch too.  I pulled up to practice one time and heard him yelling at one of the kids, "don't touch the ball with your hands." I think he'll stick with big kids in the future.  Kota was full force scoring goals and playing goalie and running after the ball except for when she was flirting with the boys!

Paige in the paper I love how her tongue is hanging out! :)

The girls are all also doing dance.  Cloe and Kota are in the performance class and they performed at the football game.  Paige's class performed at the nursing home!  Both events turned out great!!

Here they are waiting to dance and trying to stay warm!

First day of school

Cloe starts 2nd grade, Dakota starts 1st grade and mom started and worked at the middle school helping a para for the first couples this of school so Paige's first day at Mindy's daycare.  

I must say that dropping off Paige was quit dramatic. Tears and kicking and screaming and pulling at the door as I tried to escape. Guilt filled day and then when I returned she had a great day as mindy's helper and even got cookies.  :) kids!

Drop off at the bus stop

The kids walking home from off the bus, proud mom and dad. Dare I say I thought tears were close to dads eyes.

Kota first place art at the county fair!

Kota's moth :) she has really been observant of the insects.  She took this picture and liked this moth a lot.

The kitties attempt to get the monarch.

Girls reading in their new rooms, I enjoyed watching this.

We moved

Before school got out we were able to move into our new home, and we are feeling settled more and more everyday!  We love our home the first house Brent and I bought and we feel like it was meant just for us.  We have almost a couple acres and a beautiful view!  We have a lot more living space.  And since we wanted to ward off mice we got some kittens who needed a lot care we ha four but Austin didn't make it so now we have three each of the girls have their own!! We've done some things to make it out own including painting out mailbox, wyoming cowboy decals to come. :)

I've subbed a lot to start the school year! Paige only had to go to daycare half a day for 9 days so things worked out pretty well there, the girls like their teachers this year I can't believe Cloe is in 2nd grade and Kota is a 1st grader paige cries every time they get on the bus and keeps telling her preschool teachers that she won't be back because she is going to kindergarten soon! ;) 

First night in our new house the girls got to use moms tub! :)

First day as home owners!! And our house!

View from our house! I enjoyed my breakfast in front of many beautiful sunsets!

The kitties!! Shadow, lighting or thunder aka LT, alley cat  (scardycat) we found out later that alley is a boy

We feel very blessed!!!

Summers end!

So the end of summer was pretty busy...

Casey family reunion in green river was a blast!  Jet ski's at flaming gorge, floating the river, the fair (rides with the kids, and Phil Vaser concert for adults). What a great time.  Brent's birthday with dirt cake and fun gifts like, whoopee cushion and handcuffs.  Thanks to Darren and Brenda for planning a great family reunion.  It was also fun to hear about Brent's parents meeting.  And have s'mores an hang out!  Great time!

I was worried about paige but she was loving laughing and giggling the whole time...but Cloe looked like she might throw up and was really scared. :)

Then off to Colorado for my cousins wedding... Leeann and Girvin came down too!  The girls and I drove down with grandma nessi, I picked up Kota and paige who spent four days with grandma Casey and then Cloe who spent the time with grandma Nessi, the girls had fun and I got some packing done and scrapbooking too!  

We went to the pirates cove water park... It was packed but fun!!

The wedding was really pretty and very nice!  The girls loved "the marry girl" it sure was great to see everyone!  Fun Long trip!!

Grandma and grandpa Casey took the girls up the mountain while we....(next post)...
