Planting blubs with Mommy

During one of many projects that we are working on we found lots of blubs. We decided to see if we could replant them and see what we get in the spring. Jameson wanted to help!

First you have to put the blubs in the planter!

Then you have to cover them with dirt! Of course this was Jameson's favorite part since he got to play in the dirt as it was making its way to the pot!

Mud and rain boots

It rained for such a long time that the ground was pure mud! And the mud here in Montana is really sticky mud! We decided that it would be easier to put Jameson's rain boots on him while he played outside... which after over a week of raining he really needed to be outside! He couldn't get his footing at first and then when he finally did it was too funny because the boots made a squishy noise and Jameson wasn't sure where that was coming from!

I can squish in the mud now!

A night at the baseball game

We got to spend the other night at the baseball game. Jameson actually had a blast just sitting there and watching the game! The Vogayers lost but it was still a great game! When Peyton would yell at the umpire (who was making really bad calls by the way), Jameson would yell too!!

Jameson was absolutely scared of the mascot!

You're lifting what? Where?

So we found out within about two weeks of living in our house that we had a major plumbing problem... our sewage line collapsed. So we got someone who finally figured out how they were going to dig an eighteen foot hole. They lifted that backhoe over our house with a crane.

There's the crane! They lifted everything they were going to use over the house, the backhoe, the trench boxes and the little equipment too!

My poor yard.
There's our hole!

Demo in the family room

So after Allie left I decided that our family room needed some help. As you can see there is cedar panels half way up the wall... not an uncommon site in Montana but something that doesn't work for me. So I started taking it down!


There was also a fireplace in the corner and Peyton took that out with a chisel and a hammer.

We still haven't finished room down here and its currently on hold pending the remodeling of the kitchen and paying off the sewage pipe!

Aunty A comes to Montana

Allie came to visit us about three weeks ago, I can't believe its been three weeks already... I'm a little homesick (ok maybe just family sick!). We had so much when Allie was in town! Jameson learned to say "A" since we call Allie Aunty A we figured we were moving in the right direction!

Allie brought a margarita mix called Key Lime Watermelon. It was really sour but really yummy. Peyton took a sip of mine and literally spit it all over Allie and I. What a waste of Patron tequila!!

We headed down to Missoula for fun and according to Allie "to see some Montana stuff". We stopped off to play in the creek on the side of the road... yes you are allowed to do that and you can even just stop and go fishing should you choose to!

All of our piggies in the water! Jameson though this was the greatest... the water was like ice and then we had to climb up the steep dirt hill we climbed down.

Our first home

So I know it has been way too long since I've posted anything!! We have been completely swamped with new home stuff! It took a long hard fight to get us into this house and it seems to be just as long as fight to get us settled. We found out last week that our sewerline collapsed awhile ago and no one informed us of that when we purchased the house (if I haven't said it before I'll say it again the selling agent was the worst person in whole world). So we had that replaced (more pictures and a video of them lifting a backhoe over my house to come soon!) and at the same time we were already in the process of fixing the downstairs. We thought that we be done before we started working on the kitchen (a new kitchen is suppose to be installed in two weeks keep your fingers crossed that it does because I only have a fridge and a sink in there right now... no oven!) so right now everything is a mess! Keep us in your thoughts! We could use them!
