Baby Fever

When 2 month old Ewan White began coming to the house for daycare Sean and Mikayla fell in love with him.  Sean decided he wanted to be the caretaker. He held him and played with him, fed him his bottle, and even changed his messy Diaper!  Then announced " I'm not doing  that again!"

Mikayla was so excited about Ewan and can't wait to have a baby in her tummy!  Grandma told her she would have to finish preschool first, then kindergarten, then elementary school, then middle school, then high school, college and find a job and then get married.  Mikayla yelled  "I have to get married!  Why do I have to get married?"  Grandma asked, "don't you want a daddy for your baby?" Mikayla answered "Finn's going to be the daddy!"  

Girls Weekend

For Linda’s birthday present I planned a weekend for the two of us to go to Billings and do some antiquing and shopping. We headed out Friday afternoon and stayed the night so we could take our time shopping.  Friday we had a wonderful dinner at the Texas Roadhouse following by a shopping spree at Hobby Lobby (Linda’s first trip to this store), Scheels and Kohl’s.  We headed back to the hotel to rest for the next day.  Saturday we both woke up early as usual so decided to a take in a nice 3 mile was in River Front park. Then we headed to some antique shops before coming home and enjoying a nice bbq diner with the family.  

Happy Halloween

With Halloween on a Monday this year we didn’t do anything extravagant.  The kids and I went trick-o-treating around River Rock after school and then came home and went to bed.  Sean dressed as an angry bird this year and Mikayla as a butterfly.  

Pumpkin Carving

Papa Ron and Grandma Linda brought dinner over one night and so we decided to have them help us carve pumpkins.  Ethan was smart and took the easy way of carving a pumpkin but the rest of us didn’t do a bad job.  Mikayla insisted on giving her pumpkin a butt which was located where an ear would be, we weren’t quite sure what she was doing but Grandma helped her carve a “butt”.

Pumpkin Patch Field Trips

Mikayla’s preschool and Sean’s Kindergarten class both went to Rocky Creek Farm for a field trip.  Grandma Barb had the opportunity to take in the day with Mikayla and I was able to chaperone for Sean’s class during his trip.  Both days were wet and cold but the kids had a good time and picked some great pumpkins. 

 After the pumpkin patch Sean's class spent a few hours at the dinosaur park. Sean was beat and fell asleep as soon as we started to head home. 

Sean Turns 6

After the straw maze we came back to the house to celebrate Linda and Sean’s birthday.  Sean decided on an Angry Birds theme this year.  Grandma Barb, Uncle Kyle, Aunt Cami, Jon and Michelle Goodwin and the McCoy’s came out to celebrate with us. Sean was so excited that he receive so many gifts and each one was something he really always wanted!

 Grandma Linda and Papa Ron gave him this zoo play set. we put it altogether and then he insisted out setting it up exactly as it showed on the box. 

 The White's were not able to make Sean's party due to State x-country but they gave Sean this cool dinosaur puzzle that he put together almost all by himself. 

Sean's 6 year stats:
Height: 44.5 inches (30%)
Weight: 43.4 lbs (35%)

Straw Maze

Since the kids went to the pumpkin patch for class field trips we decided to try the Bozeman Straw Maze this year.  Papa Ron and Grandma Linda joined us for the fun.

Sean was excited to lead us through the maze but after about the 4^th wrong turn he decided to leave it up to Ron and Ethan.  Ron and Ethan were on a mission to get us through the maze, however, we did have to get help a few times to get us through. It was a lot of fun and harder than I thought!

Sean got to do the bunge jump he was a little timid and tried hard to complete a flip but he just didn’t have the strength to get it done. Maybe next year.

Mikayla, Linda, Sean and I all enjoyed the train ride. The train ran out of gas in Sean and Linda’s turn so they didn’t get to finish but it was still a good ride. Grandma got Sean some cotton candy which made the ride even better.
