Party Goers

Thanks to everyone that came to the party and made it all so fun! We missed those that weren't there! Here are the pictures we got in the beginning...sorry if we missed some people!

Isreal

Ralph, Scott and I are on a ten day trip to the Holy Land. We have been to Tel Aviv,Joppa,Haifa,Caesarea,Mt. Carmel,The Jezreel Vally,Megiddo,Nazareth, The river Jordan, Scott has walked where the Savior has walked and he has gone swimming where the Savior has walked(the sea of Galile). We are in Tiberas and are staying in a hotel on the shores of the sea of Galile. We watched the sunrise this morning over the Golan heights, upon the sea of Galile and felt the spirit of this place. We have such wonderful people on this tour with us and we really feel blessed to be here.

Weekend At The Postums

Cousin party and Matt's graduation! Enjoy!

Heidi and Jake making candy trains. Spiderman Spiderman got spiderman gloves for the white elephant gift! Mama got all us girls matching PJs for Christmas! I thought that was so sweet!

Chow time

Little bit of snuggle time for all of us. Two good guys doin' what they love. Being recognized before receiving his diploma!

Aaron and Matt accepting their Rock Hard Awards for exceptional physical fitness. Premonition?... Everyone likes to try on Daddy's hat. I love this picture. And finally, I looked back sometime during the ceremony to see all these Helena PD guys gathered up to support the new recruits during graduation. I thought that was cool.

Addie's Baptism

First, congrats to the amazing bikers who toured Tucson this weekend--you guys are SUPER!

We missed you up here in Montana in our 50 mph winds!

We Love You, Addie Rose!
CONGRATULATIONS!

El Tour De Tucson

I was pretty impressed with this group of bikers Saturday. Ralph, Marti, Dave and Sam rode 36 miles, Steve rode 66 miles, and they were all still able to walk afterward! Would you look at that - they all ended up gold medalists. Way to go, guys!

Syd, lovin' the smells of the forest

Sydnie, eating an ice cream, we bought one for Cody and he didn't want it, so Syd got her first one.

The view as we drove up to the look-out

The happy children

We thought we would get one more little bit of sightseeing done before we had to leave this beautiful place. We went to the Larch Mt. look-out, where you can see 5 Mt. peaks and 360. It was beautiful!! It is a nice hike ( with stairs...) to the top. I was totally worn out by the time we got to the top, but it was worth it!!
