Before Ben and Kerri set off on their adventure as ranch hands in South Dakota, they came for a quick visit so we could all see the new baby, which I never did get any pictures of. Mom, will you send some to me?
After watching Ben and Benson toot on the trumpet, Brendyn picked it up pretty quick. We were all pretty surprised that he could make the right sound, it takes some mouth muscles to get it right. He loved it!! He came into the living room where we were all sitting, and after blowing into it, he said, "That Awesome!!" He was impressed with himself!





















Brooklyne, Brendyn, Breahna-they had a blast playing in the bubbles.

Bonus points if you can figure out what's going on here with Benson and Baby Jane. He's preparing for farm life.

The finishing touches on the siding. That's Ben way up there. I'm not sure where Bill is...

The start of our hike up to Glacier Lake, around Red Lodge, MT. We always try to take a shot of our family like this before we get started. We usually get a good one after a few takes, but this is as good as it gets. Look at the 'stache Ben's sporting. :)

The lake really lived up to it's name.

Bill sort of looks like a chipmunk.

Believe it or not this was before we started the two mile climb. All he was carrying was water.
