Spring Break 2008~ Bozeman, MT

Last week we drove up to Bozeman, MT., to spend Spring Break with Daddy. It took about 8 hours to get there, but it was worth it! We don't get to see Daddy much right now because his work is out- of- state. On the way there, we saw a fire on the highway, a huge Bison on the road and lots of snow. I planned lots of kids activities for the week when Steve was working. We went to 2 Bozeman City parks, The Museum of the Rockies, The Children's Museum, and played in the hotel pool. On the weekend we all went on a huge adventure to Yellowstone Nat'l Park. Reilly and Daddy had been there before--but Hunter, Aidan, Aimee, Liam and I had never been. It was AMAZING. We had several adventures while we were there, including some cross-county trekking with out the skis (yikes) at Old Faithful. In the end, we enjoyed every minute, and even got to look into a nice photographer's 'spotting scope' to see a newborn baby Bison and his mommy moments after birth!! WOW--that doesn't happen every day :-)

The Easter Bunny was Here!!

Aimee woke up on Easter morning and found that the Easter bunny had been there, leaving her a goodie basket in her crib. She was sooo excited and didn't know what to do first--hug her new Care Bear or eat some candy. So she decided to do both at the same time--she's 'very advanced'. Tee hee...

Loves & Hugs

Every once-in-a-while you catch a sweet moment on camera that makes you proud to be a Mommy. Aimee and Aidan usually fight over toys and snacks--but in this moment, they are all loves & hugs. I was sooo lucky to be ready with my camera for this shot.

"Princses" Aimee Madeleine

The boyz were playing "knights & dragons" in the playroom and had great fun creating swords and shields out of paper and tape. I asked them to include their little sister, Aimee, in the fun too and this is what they came up with: Princses Aimee. A very special crown (handmade by big brother Hunter) for a very special 'princess' ! You can tell by the look of glee on Aimee's face just how thrilled she was to be included in the 'big' boy's' game...

Sweet Sleepers

This is what my bed looked like this morning when I woke up! Everyone had migrated into 'mommy & daddy's bed' during the night :-0
They are such angels when they are sleeping...
