Trip to Bozeman

 We recently enjoyed a little vacation in Bozeman.  It was such a f un weekend, spent with family.  Always nice to get away for awhile.  The first stop of course was the MSU Bookstore where Tim just had to buy Libby some Bobcat gear!  Of course Tim and Libby had to have their picture taken with Emma Sue Bobcat!

That night we met up with my aunt and uncle, Dale and Corinne, and my cousin Jessica and her husband Jake and their two kids.  We had dinner together and then went to Dale and Corinnes where we played cards and visited.

The next morning we got ready for the Bobcat football game. We met Tim's sisters Carol and Colette and Colette's husband Kelly on campus.

Libby was such a little tropper. She made it through the whole game. She just sat and watched all the people and things going on around her and just entertainted herself with her toys.

Sunday we made a trip out to Rocky Creek Farm with Dale, Corinne, Jess, Jake and kids.  It was such a beautiful fall day.  We took a little hayride out to the pumpkin patch where we picked pumpkins.  Then we walked around and saw the goats, sheep, pigs and chickens.

Afterwards we went to Jess and Jakes for a birthday party for Greta, who just turned 1!

After cupcakes and presents it was finally time to come home.  It was such a great weekend.  Lots of fun and family! I'm really hoping the weather is nice next weekend so I can get my revenge on Tim and take libby to a U of M Grizzly game!!  Gotta keep her balanced right?

In other news, not quite crawling yet.  So close.  She's just too busy rolling around all over the floor, and under the couch!  She has an appointment next week.  Very curious to see how much she has grown!  Will keep you posted!

Just A Swingin'

4 Months old!

Yesterday we had our 4 month old check up.  My little butterball weighs 16 pounds!  And she's grown to 25 inches!  She's developed quite the personality.  She's a people lover and loves to be in a crowd.  Very smiley and vocal!  So much fun.  We are definitely blessed!  Love our little Libs!!

17 Weeks Old

 Last Monday was a big day for our little girl. She learned how to roll from her back to her tummy! And boy is she good at it. Anytime we lay her down now, she flips to her tummy. I don't think she means to do it half the time because as soon as she rolls over, she gets pretty mad. Which is funny because I know she knows how to roll from tummy to back because she did that a few weeks ago. Oh well. And also that day she discovered her right foot! I kept telling her she had toes, but she didn't believe me! We are working on finding her left foot. She found it once, but I think she forgot again. She's growing so fast I just can't believe it!

Landon's 5th Birthday

Last weekend Landon had a birthday party at the Big Timber Water Slides.  It was a great weekend for it!  Big Timber was a great meeting place since there's family in Butte, Bozeman, Billings and all of us around Judith Gap, Stanford and Lewistown.  We all met at the Frosty Freeze for lunch before hittin' the slides.  Libby got to have special cuddle time with Aunt Dauna, so Tim and I took advantage of that!  Besides all the little kids, I think the ones having the most fun were the big boys-- Shawn and Tim!  Hardly saw them all afternoon, they were too busy making big splashes!!  I managed to make a few splashes too!  It was a great birthday party.  Might have to make that a tradition!!

Camping at Black Sandy

Last month was our annual Mauws family camping trip.  This year we went to Black Sandy on Hauser Lake.  This was Libby's first camping trip!  We met Carol over there on Thursday and set up camp.  The rest of the clan started showing up on Friday.  It was a very hot weekend.  We were very thankful to have electrical hookups so we could run the air conditioner!  Libby and I had to hang out in the camper quite a bit and cool off.  The weekend was spend just visiting and eating, just like any other camping trip!  Bob had brought a keg for the get-together!  He had a customer that wanted to do some trading so Bob furnished the beverages for the occasion!  It was a pretty fun weekend.  Got to go out on the boat a few times.  Libby got lots and lots of loves from her aunts!  Hopefully we will be able to fit one more camping trip in before summer is over.  It seems to be going by pretty quickly.  School starts very soon!  Enjoy the rest of your summer!!
