Staying with the Partains

Our first week in Montana, we stayed with Angie and Jeremy Partain and their three boys. We had so much fun with all of them that we decided to go back and visit them again today. Here are some highlights from our week...

the newest Partain, Dodge. He is such a sweet baby and I loved getting to hold him lots.
Nathan tried to do nap time with the Cooper and Sawyer. Eventually they had to go to their room.

Funny Faces

We took Cooper and Sawyer out the other day. They made lots of funny faces while Nathan was in the bank. Both were really funny and very proud of their faces.

a very cute picture

Even More Pictures!

Our second day in Montana we came to the hot springs. Its about a mile hike in the most beautiful place in Idaho. I have forgotten just how pretty this place truly is. As you can tell it was kinda chilly starting out but it warmed up pretty fast. We also did see some naked people, as this is a clothing optional hot springs. But I didn't take any pictures of them...don't worry.

Belgrade MT...Part 2...the Olivers

The girls...Me, Katie, Vanessa, and Alyssa
Vanessa is proud of her things at her house. We loved them.

First stop...Worland, WY

Our first stop on our trip was in WY visiting our new and old friends. Kade and Ella were really cute. We had a great time with everyone.
Guy time
Kade is ready to take off...always.

Playing with each other
Ella aways has a question...Hopefully one day she can ask it.

Fun with Morgandy

Just some pics of Morgandy. We had so much

fun with her. She's a great kid.

Back to MO I go...

I have loved being with my family here in FL.
But I'm not too sad to leave this time because of
this guy...isn't he cute!

I think I found me again...

I'm starting to feel more like me again lately and it feels great. I know that in life you change all the time, but I had changed into someone I don't like. Its like being home has helped a ton. I'm talking more, smiling more, and starting to like myself more. And I'm almost certain that I heard myself laugh the other day. I'm hoping this keeps up so that when we have to come back to Sedalia I'll be ready to deal with that person I don't much care for.

Nathan and I are hoping this next year will be better than the past year. I think we had too many expectations last time only to have them crushed. This time I'm not going to expect anything and just hope to have some good times before we move. I am so thankful for a lot of things this past year but still not sure of God's reason for us being there yet. Maybe He's told me but I just haven't listened hard enough. But this summer I'm going to ask a lot and listen even more. Things will be better.

Me and Mo

My favorite part of summer so far.

The Beach

The beach was lots of fun. Morgandy really loved
it and could have stayed in the water all day.

Kennedy Space Center

Nathan prepare to lift off in 10, 9, 8, 7....

Nathan as on of the first astronauts...the best
looking one for sure.

Anni, the best dog ever

This was our dog, Anni. She is going to a better home. But she was the best do ever!

Playing Putt Putt at Pirates Cove

Nathan and I got to Play Putt Putt with my parents in Orlando. We all got a hole in one, or two. It was by far the best Putt Putt we had ever been to. Dad and Nathan didn't escape the pirates in the end but Mom and I freed them...don't worry!
