Shape Montana Conference 2017

 Monday and Tuesday Julie had her annual Shape Montana conference.  Last year when This was only four weeks old - we went to Great Falls - this year the conference was in Bozeman. I feel so lucky to come again and tend Thia while her Mommy presents.

 Here Julie is participating in another activity - Thia wanted to join in!

 Cute one year old.

 Another presenter used these stack cups - Thia had fun playing with them afterwards.

 This is part of Julie's presentation - She is in the middle at the back - teaching children health by movement - great job Julie!

Julie, Thia and Grandma at the conference sign....I'll see if I can post last year's for comparison.

Stan and Julie's garden, playing with grandma

 Stan and Julie have a beautiful garden - Stan fenced it so the deer don't enjoy it too much!

 Another look - the deer did eat some sun flowers and lily flowers that were around the side of the house... I guess if we eat them, they should eat some of our flowers.

 Julie cut some lettuce for our dinner salad - so yummy!

 Thia and Grandma reading books.

 Start them out early and they will be great readers!

Thia's Gate

Stan, Julie and Thia in their house in Bozeman.

 This is the heavy duty gate Stan built so Thia doesn't fall down the stairs!

 Here's Thia by her gate!

 Here's Thia playing with her toys.

Checking out the deer head that her Daddy is holding - Riddick gave it a good sniff also!

Bill and Sandy Vance visit Pleasant Grove

 Bill and Sandy Vance from Ellensburg, WA - found us on the internet and came to visit on their way back to WA from CO. Their son Tom, is Heidi's age - they were friends in high school  Bill was a student of Dad's at Oregon, then Dept. Chair at Central - wonderful to reconnect with old friends.

 Pretty funny that the men are in blue, the ladies in white shirts!  old people dress alike?  Thanks to Kyle for taking our pictures ... Vance's wanted one with the mountains in the background.

Dad talking to them about their car - they really like it ... note the bikes on the back - they are recreation people!!

Pioneer Day - 24th of July

 Lindsey registered us all for the Temple to Temple Fun Run - great way to start the 24th celebrations.  Here we are before the start - at the Provo Temple.

 Part of the 10,000 plus who ran, walked, pushed strollers, rode scooters, etc.  The registration is free and they are trying to get up to 20,000 !

 Georgia, Millie and Tait got to ride in the stroller - 5K - three miles from Provo Temple to Provo City Center Temple - nice day.

 Olivia and Sadie ran/walked the whole three miles with me - here they are waiting in the line for the porta potties!  See the temple in the background?

 We did it!  A great time was had by all - more family members should plan on doing it next year.

We had everyone over for a 'picnic' in our living room!  Here the girls are having a 'snowball' fight - then we threw them in empty boxes, last was hiding one for the others to find!  

Keenyn's Birthday

Keenyn turned 7 on the 16th of July.  He requested a 'football' cake and his Mother made him one.

 Cousins playing on the swing set.

 Briella's playhouse used to be up on the cement - her Dad put it down here and now she says it is a 'cabin'!

 Girls playing in the cabin in the woods!
