Grandma's 93rd Birthday Party

Jake's Grandma Hill decided that for her 93rd birthday this year, she wanted to have a big party. So we all traveled from all over to attend the marvelous party in Roundup Montana. Most of the family was able to come and celebrate with her, we had  a great time! 

Here we are showing Grandma the marvelous internet. We googled her name for her and showed her what we found. I think she was pretty shocked.... thus the eye rub! haha

Here is Jake and Jarom with Jaunty and his daughter. Jaunty worked out on the ranch with the Hill family for years. He came to celebrate Grandma's birthday with her and the family, and many of her local friends.

Grandma loves to dance, so for her party we danced. The party was held in a local dance hall there in Roundup, Montana. We had a great dinner and danced the night away!

Jarom (Jake's bro) and Grandma Dancing. You would think that at 93 it would be hard for Grandma to move but she moves like she is a 60 year old!

Jake is hanging out with his buddy Eva.... Eva loved Jake!

Diaper Change

So the other day we were hanging out with Jake's Brother Josh and his wife Natalie.... they have a little baby, Lilly, Jake made the comment that he has NEVER changed a diaper! HAHA so guess what.... Jake changed his first diaper ever. I was totally shocked that he had never changed a diaper, because I have changed thousands, so I had to take pictures and post it! 

Carving Pumpkins!

Pumpkin Carving!!!

So I haven't carved a pumpkin since I was a kid.... last night Josh and Natalie invited us over to have dinner and carve pumpkins! We had a great time and took lots of pictures!

From left to right me, Josh, Jake and Natalie... it was supper late and we were all exhausted.

We tried to get a good picture with us in it, when it was dark, but it didn't really turn out, but the pumpkins look nice!

Moving in

Thursday the 11 Jake's Dad flew in to help us pack and move. Jake had to work all day Thursday so I was hanging out with Bruce and keeping us busy with all of the packing. Half way through the day we decided to go and take a look at the house so Bruce could see where we were going to be living! As we drove up the the house I noticed a landscaping truck parked in our drive way. I thought, maybe someone is doing work on the back yard, it might be the HOA's truck.... there were so many possibilities, anyway, I thought nothing of it and we on our way back to the condo to finish packing. Friday morning came, our house funded and recorded (meaning that the property was now officially ours) and we (well Jake and his Dad....I was working) loaded up the truck to go take a load of boxes over to the house. I meet them at the house and the plan was to park the truck in the garage and unload it after we had had lunch (we were meeting up with Jake's bro and his family). Well we pull up to the house and surprise surprise... the landscaping truck is STILL parked in our drive way, the truck was completely blocking our driveway there was no way to get around it! We didn't have time to unload the truck we were running late so we start knocking on the neighbors doors around us to see if it is anyones truck or to see if they know who owns it.... and no one is answering their doors. To make a long story short... after lunch, we ended up having to call a tow truck to come and get the truck, and of course as soon as the tow truck shows up and has the truck hooked up and ready to go some kid from next door (around 18) comes running out and stops the tow truck driver. The tow truck guy tells the kid that it will cost him $80 to drop the truck and it he doesn't have the money he will tow it and it will cost him the 80 plus milage. In the middle of the two of them talking I come out side to see what is going on because I can here people talking outside our house. The kid approaches me and asks me why we didn't just ask him to move the truck he said, "I have been home all day" HAHAHA That is what we tried to do and someone must have been to lazy to answer their door! We talked for a minute and he seemed to cool down. I hope that he doesn't hold a grudge forever.  So this was the first neighbor that we meet here and hopefully he can get over our first encounter, we didn't want to move in and make enemies, and we didn't have the tow truck come to be mean we just needed to be able to access our house! I hope that we don't have to meet anymore of our neighbors on similar terms. 

 

However, since everyone has been asking for pictures I decided that I better post a few... as you can see in the pictures I sill have a lot of decorating and unpacking to do. Maybe once I find the motivation to get my house in order and looking nice, I will post some more pics! 

This is the downstairs... it still needs a lot more work but we will get there with time.

Breaking Dawn

So I finally finished reading this wonderful book... I was surprised with some of the twists that Stephanie Meyer put into the book. I did enjoy the series, but what did everyone else think of this book?

Tagged!

I Have Been Tagged by Kristie.

I am - a wife, a friend, a hard worker, a daughter, a sister a child of God, and a shy reserved person until I get to know you.

I have - the best husband, awesome family, a good friends, great clients, and a fabulous job.

I get frustrated when - people lie, semi's drive in the fast lane and drive like 20 MPH under the speed limit... HONESTLY!  People gossip and talk bad about someone and then have the nerve to act like they are friends with them the next time they see them. 

I think - my life is great. Integrity and honesty will get you much further in life than lies and deceit. 

I value - my life, my family and true friends.

I wish - I could see into the future to see everything that God has in store for us in this life.

I fear - Death, loosing a friend or family member unexpectedly. 

I dislike - Liars and cheaters. Bills and taxes. Allergies. 

I love - Jake and my family. Vacations, hiking, babies (they are so cute and innocent).

I tag..... Jennifer M , Andrea S and Heather W
