Montana Minutes

Welcome to Montana

 Here's a little bit of what we've been up to.

Cruz is always willing to strike a pose.

 And Rosie is always putting somebody else's clothes on.

 Cruz is getting ready to start his new preschool next week...he is so excited!  So, everyday we've been working on writing some letters.  It's seriously one of his favorite things to do.

 While Rosie is napping this is where I usually end up.  Sometimes I can coax Cruz to come out with me.

 Yes, it's my lipstick.  Rosie thought it looked like fun.  I think every little girl has to have a picture like this one.  Her skin was stained from it for 2 days.

 One weekend we were able to hit up the fair.  Cruz is a BIG fan!

Rosie gets super serious (as you can tell) she is either waving her parade wave or stone faced.

 Road trip to see Grandma and Grandpa-Great!

 This is Cruz taking his nap...yeah right!

 Of course Rosie was asleep as soon as we hit the road.

Grandma and Grandpa totally spoiled them.  Cruz drove the tractor with Rosie as a his passenger. 

And as usual Grandma and Grandpa-great spoiled us all Rotten.  

While eating an ice cream cone, Grandpa-great would put chocolate syrup on after each bite.

To say the least, the kids were HYPER on the way home!

 Yep, that's Rosie, and No she isn't wearing any pants or diaper.

 Our workout routine has been a little soccer.  We play soccer while the kids dig in the dirt. 

Unfortunately, Rosie's diaper didn't get changed before we left (I know terrible) and she was soaked by the time we were done.  She got to know the true meaning of feeling the breeze on the way home.

 Cruz thinks he is getting pretty tough, and Rosie would like to agree. Every time I turn around she is holding on to him like a leach and he is trying to carry her around as they both grin from ear to ear.

 Life on the lake is pretty nice.  We get in our swimsuits just about every day.  Usually the kids are pretty on board.  Cruz gets tired of me though and goes inside and gets dressed so I won't MAKE him swim.

 As you can tell they are the best of friends.  Cruz is the best, most patient big brother ever!

 Rosie isn't always the nicest sister and he is still so sweet and kind to her.  

In fact, Taylor said we should have named her "Lucy" short for Lucifer.  That's how sweet she's been...but we're working on it!

 Too. Much. Sun.

 Ya gotta love her outfits.

 I told you...they are always doing this.  Isn't it so cute?

Oh, and we can't forget the whole reason we're here.  Daddy will be finishing his Pediatric rotation next week and we will be heading over to our next destination.

He just shaved his beard last week...soft as a babies bottom!

Despite missing our friends in Tennessee and the busy schedule we had there, we have been loving the sunshine here at the Lake.  

As I mentioned earlier Cruz will be starting preschool next week, so life will be getting a little busier.  We drove by an elementary school yesterday and Cruz said,

"Everyone's started school but me."  In the saddest, most pitiful way.

I am excited for him to have some interacting with little kids his own way.  Needless to say, we haven't met any "quality" friends at McDonald's.

Before we know it we will be moving somewhere for a job, so right now we're just trying to enjoy life and live it up while we can!

Love, the Lies Parade
