Catching up!

As you can see I had a bit of catching up to do. I guess adding number six did throw off my "groove" just a bit. Luke has been such a joy! Winter has set in here in Montana. We have had the first few snowfalls and the kids are loving it as usual! Ethan will be turning 8 this month and he gets to celebrate with his Honey Grandma here this year. We have her and Marks brother Michael and his wife Joy coming for Christmas this year and we are so excited to have them. Michael and Joy have not yet been to Montana to see us. The kids hope to be able to give Uncle Michael a true MT. winter welcome & introduce him to "brokeback" Mt. ( our sled run) Here's hoping the weather cooperates. It is Montana afterall...if you dont like the weather just wait a few minutes, it will change!

Happy Thanksgiving.

We hosted Thanksgiving this year, even with the house not quite completely done. It was great to have 25 of us together up here. It was our first big get together in the new space and it sure was nice! The turkeys ( there were 3) were unbelievable! The kids had so many places to be that one would hardly know that there were 15 of them! I just want to say that I have so very much to be thankful for! First and foremost... my salvation! My AMAZING husband, my beautiful healthy children, my new and improved "dream" home on this great property, My country...where I am still free to worship God, all my loving family and friends, my own health, and sooo much more. Praise God for his blessings!

Construction wraps up!

The house is nearly complete and it is trully a blessing to live in the new added space! Construction ran about a month past schedule, but isn't that what it is supposed to do?!? ;) We feel blessed to have had a nice Christian man as our contractor/builder and enjoyed the process.... minus the mess. (at times) God is good!

Church Costume Carnival

We do not celebrate Halloween, instead we allow our kids to dress up and attend the carnival at church in celebration of harvest time. They play games,win prizes, make crafts, eat....all the things that kiddo's love to do. The boys ( and Daddy) dressed up alike this year. They went as Team Jensen, Hockey players and coach. The girlies just dolled themsleves up in thier favorite dress-up outfits. It was a fun night.

Oct. 28th... Madeline turns 4!

Maddie had her "princess" party at home with just our family. The girls loved having the play clothes out and changed between princess and fairy costumes most of the afternoon.( The boys enjoyed dressing up also, tho not in the same attire!) It is hard to believe that our baby girl is 4! Where does the time go?
