Beginning of August

More catching up.  This one below is Cora next to Sydney on a swing outside the little place we stayed near Glacier.  

 Nothing like a little pow-wow in the teepee for the little people.  

 This was my experiment with sticks on the driveway.  

 There really are waterfalls in Great Falls.

 This is Katie's b-day cake.  I was very proud of myself, for the last few years it's been just cupcakes because I'm not a cake fan.  But she wanted a strawberry cake and I found a recipe for one with cheesecake in the middle and thought that sounded REALLY good.  Happy 5th Katie.  Someday your mom will learn how to be creative and crafty and do a fancy party, maybe....

 Shortly after Katie's birthday we went back to Utah for visiting and a family reunion.  Here we have Sydney (above) and Cora helping their Uncle Jeremy paint a bench.
