OUR TRIP TO MONTANA

We just got back from a trip to Montana to see Josh's grandma Hill. We had a great time! Before we look at pictures let's start off with a couple jokes that Grandma told us. They had us laughing the entire time we were here. We'll save the dirty ones for another time...

Joke #1: Two guys were sittin on a bench under a tree at an old folks home. One fellow says to his friend. "Slim, I'm 84 years old and I just ache and hurt all over. Slim how do you feel?"

Slim: "Oh I feel just like a new born baby."

Really? New born baby?

Yep. No teeth. No hair. And I think I just wet my pants.


Joke #2: A pharmicist went to work and saw a guy leaning against the wall shaking and looking really scared. The Pharmicist said to the clerk, "What's the matter with that guy?"

Clerk said, "he came in the store looking for some cough medicine. I couldn't find any so I gave him a laxative. The pharmicist said, "a laxative? That won't cure a cough."

Clerk said, "sure it will, look at him, he's afraid to cough!"

Lilly's first Sunday and church

Lil's first smile..

Lilly had her first "real" smile when we got off the plane in Montana! It was about darn near the cutest thing I have ever seen! However, we forgot our awesome shutter speed camara at home, and brought our slower than cold tar camara on the trip. So I never got any pic of her full on smilin! However, I thought these were so funny!

Seeing Grandma Hill in Round Up

Welcome to Round-Up!

Grandma Hill and Lilly I thought this sign was hilarious! It's the entrance to her retirement community!

Billings, Montana

This the house Josh grew up in..

This was his elementary school. This is also where he got the big scar on his forehead from a monster truck tire on the playground. They have since gotten rid of them! This is a pond where he used to catch turtles and frogs.. He really was such a boy! I love it!

And of course the street he lived on... which they have now paved by the way! It used to be a dirt road.

Josh, Lilly, and Aunt Joan

We just happened to have Josh's favorite cookie! How appropriate!

The Ranch!

This is the ranch house where Josh spent a lot of his summers. His grandparents were cattle ranchers and spent most of their lives here. I had never seen hay bails in a cylinder shape before! I thought they were cool!
This is where is Grandpa Floyd and Grandma Viola left there mark!

Josh took me to the ground hog colony, which he calls the dog town. There were hundreds and hundreds of these huge groundhogs and then hundreds of holes in the ground. The little boogers were so fast I couldn't get a picture of them.
In all my livin life I have never seen so many grasshoppers! Our whole car windshield and hood were field of these critters.

Montana cont...

Rattlesnake Butte
The town of Winnett where Aunt Joan and Uncle Brendan live.. you may have to squint but it's there! The swimming pool where Josh and his brother's would swim


Montana's beautiful country... Cool rainstorm, wish we would have been in it!

Our sweet little bug

We just found out yesterday that our sweet little bug has an allergy to milk, well cow's milk in formula. So the doctor put me on a strict diet of only meats, fruits, and vegetables because she is now just going to be strictly breast fed. So no more dairy or anything with Whey which is about everything that we eat as Americans! So the pro's of this are: that Lilly's little intestines won't hurt her anymore, she will supposedly start sleeping through the night, she won't cry so much when we set her down, and I will lose weight!!!! :) The last few days have been so sad as we have watched her little body try and go potty and it hurts so bad, so I'm just thankful for doctor's and that mine was able to help us figure out what was wrong with our little bug. Anyway, we got this new camara and Josh started snapping photos last night and I thought they were so cute!

It was a fun and hot DARK KNIGHT...

...AT THE DRIVE IN! We went to the new Batman with our friends Aaron and Katie. It was so fun! And Lilly did so good! We loaded up what seemed like 200 pillows and blankets into the truck with our cooler full of treats and headed to the Drive-In on the west side! We had so much fun laying in the back of Josh's truck next to Aaron's truck. It was a double feature with "Get Smart", which ended sometime after 2 am cuz we left at 2 and the movie wasn't over.. we enjoyed a little lightning and thunder along with the show. We will definately be doing this again!

Our trip to AZ!

We just got back from a fantastic trip to AZ! Since it was so hot we went swimming everyday, went to the lake, Dale and Josh went golfing like everyday, had bbq's, ate lots of food, watched lots of movies, and played Marco Polo every night while gramma watched Lil. It was so fun, and reminded me of what summer's are for!!!

Various pic's of the trip...
