It's been about a year since the last entry.

I can't believe life has gotten so hectic that I don't even have time to update the blog once a week. My New Year's Resolution is to make time every week for uploading photos, blogging, or scrapbooking. A lot has happened in the last year, since my last blog entry! I've been working at the bank every day, and have started my massage business here in town. The massage business is getting busier, and I'm scheduling about 4 or 5 massages a week now! The kids just celebrated their Birthdays - Gunnar turned 3 and Greta turned 1! We all survived Christmas as well, and the kids had a blast, as did we!

Here are Gunnar and Daddy on our one fishing outing last summer. Josh took us out on Cooney Dam, and we had a lot of fun! It was a beautiful day and it's always nice to be out on the water. We didn't catch anything though. :o)

Gunnar and Greta at bathtime... seems like the only time we can get them to play nicely together. They both LOVE bathtime!

Here's a photo of Gunnar and Papa walking up the road from their house to ours. I love the mountains in the background.

Gunnar was READY to hunt Easter Eggs at Daycare! He couldn't wait to go out and find as many eggs as he could!

Here are some 4th of July photos. We went up to Red Lodge to watch the parade, and the kids loved it! It was a pretty hot day up there though.

Ok.... We're caught up to July. I'll work on the rest later this week hopefully! I may even have some photos of Justin's Birthday to display! To be continued...

Our computer melted!

I realize we haven't posted a blog entry since the end of December, but things got a little busy, and then our computer literally melted. We kept walking through the house trying to find out what was burning or melting for several days, and finally we realized it was something inside the PC. So we started using the computer in only 5 minute increments, and then it melted and shut down until we got a part to run power again. :o) Anyway, so we have a lot to catch up on since the end of December!

We'll start with some silly photos of Greta with her purple face from the gentian violet we used to treat her thrush. Poor girl had a purple face for almost a week!

The first week in February, we took Gunnar to Playhouse Disney! We decided to take a Mama, Daddy and Gunnar date and let Greta stay to play with Nana & Papa. I saw that Mickey and Playhouse Disney were coming to Billings, and all of Gunnar's favorite TV personalities would be there. Mickey, Goofey, Donald, Manny, the Tools, Pooh, Tigger, The Little Einsteins, all of them were coming to town! We told Gunnar he was going to see Mickey that night, and he got pretty excited, but I don't think he expected exactly what he was headed for. Parents with toddlers were pouring into the Metra in Billings, and Gunnar started to get excited when he saw the stage. Once the characters came out, he got so excited that he didn't know what to say... he just stared for the longest time. Eventually he came out of it and danced for a few songs and clapped and patted with the Little Einsteins. Here are some photos of the festivities. We all had so much fun, and Justin and I agreed it was pretty emotional to see how excited he was to be there.

Here's a photo of Greta Mae with Great Grandma Ruth. We're going to spend quite a bit of time trying to learn about gardening from Grandma Ruth this summer!

Since I've started work, Justin is at home with the kids during the day while I'm at the bank. He took some silly photos of Greta in her Bumbo seat while they were in the kitchen. She has such an infectious smile!

Gunnar found a new use for his laundry hamper - hiding spot!

While Nana & Papa were over for dinner, Daddy and Gunnar created an indoor makeshift sled and had soooo much fun "sledding" around the house.

Gunnar decided it was time for Nana to go "night night", and brought her the tiniest blankie he could find, and a picture book to read to her to help her go to sleep.

Here's Greta and Papa. She and Gunnar have what we call "Papa admiration". They love that Papa!

Here are a couple photos of Greta Mae in her bouncer. She's such a beautiful baby, and thanks to Great Grandma Ruth and Nana, we have enough bows to keep one in her hair almost every day!

We had some snow this March, and here's the view out our french doors. It snowed almost a foot, and then froze. Just a few nights ago, the temp was -12 degrees, not including wind chill! We're definitely ready for Spring, and I ordered our vegetable garden seeds from Gurney's last week, so it better hurry and warm up!

Last but not least, I finally took some photos of Greta's curls! When her hair is wet, she has these tight little curls all over her head, and then it dries wavy. It's very cute, but I think nobody believes me when I tell them she has curly hair. Anyway... here they are!
