Here we are golfing with Grammy, my mom is a "big" golfer and so is Joey so now Drew is...he can do the entire 18, crazy he is only 3 but he loves being outside and what better company then Grammy and Daddy?
These are a couple pics on our way to Flathead Lake, one of the most beautiful places in the world I am convinced...these two pics are right outside Great Falls where I grew up. Drew kickin it with me, my sister Kelly (who we named my co pilot because she endured the long trip to Flathead with an unhappy baby right by my side!!) and the unhappy baby Drake. It was precious she kept trying to fix the problem with him but the more she would try to console him the more he would get upset because he was just tired but would continue to get stimulated by however she was trying to make him happy. I didn't have the heart to tell her to leave him be...she just wanted to help.
OKAY... so there are MANY more pictures and stories to come but blogger is not letting me upload right now so this is a
"to be continued" and a very special one so you will want to check back later (:
Okay Blogger is working (:
These are some pictures from the pool where we stayed up by Flathead, we had a great time swimming and shooting eachother with these water spouts.
Ellie and her Daddy swimming

Auntie Kelly and Drew having a snack by the pool....this family loves a yummy snack
My sister Cristi and her baby Griffen cuddling in the sun (:
We took Drew and Ellie to a Dr. Suessical Muscial play and they loved it!! It was almost 3 hours long and Drew was so sad it was over he started to cry when we left. There is some amazing talent at the little playhouse in Bigfork Mt. I used to go as a child with my Grandpa and Grandma so it was such a blessing to be able to take our kids. Thanks Mom!!
On the 3rd of July we went to Grand Pa and Grand Ma's house and here are a few pics of Uncle Brian doing fireworks with the kids
Uncle Brian and Drake giving love
Drake walking through my Grand Ma's flower garden...lovely Drake
Looking for fish
Lots of love between these two cousins! Drake was trying to kiss Ellie and hold her hand, I just loved this! Drake is such a lovey, which is fun since I love to cuddle! Well who doesn't love to cuddle a yummy baby!?
Look at her beautiful hair!! It is just one big ringlet!! I can't help but play with it and fix it...I am so glad she doesn't mind (:
I love this beautiful child! I could just kiss her face all the time, she is my sweet Ellie.
We rode up and down the Gondola at Big Sky..it was so fun, so beautiful, and again a memory that is a precious treasure
Telling Daddy all about it...my kids were in awe of the moutains
talking with Grammy about the widlife
All dressed in our red, white, and blue!
I will end on this one...Kelly and Brian decided to ditch the wheelchair and ride up the mountain on a chair...nothing new to Kelly, she was a big time skier (: I think they had the best ride in the open air. Brian is the best, he loves his biggest sister.

Erin, this post made me cry. It totally made me remember that I had a LONG dream about Kelly last night. All I remember is her and I hugging for a really LONG time and we were both crying. I had forgotten the dream when I woke up, but then reading your blog about her made me remember the dream. I can't wait to give her a hug in heaven.
Sorry that it was so crazy when you called the other night. My kids are so whiney!! But I loved being able to chat a bit!! You know that I ADORE you and can't wait till we get to see you in March!
Hey Erin...how are you. I saw your blog through Kirra's and enjoyed looking at all life's happenings since you've been gone. You're boys are so cute. And I agree Flathead is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
Erin I have so much loved checking your blog latley. I havnt commented but I have been looking. What wonderful pictures of the boys, you and Joey, and your family. That last picture of your brother and Kelly, wow, little tear. You guys all look wonderful. I wish I could jump on a plane right now and come see you all. Yes Brooklyns outfit is the one you guys gave her. SHe wears that dress and tights, and her cords and shirt all the time. It is so cute on her. And yes the shoes fit. It could not be more perfect. Love you
Oh Erin, I'm so glad you had that precious time with your PRECIOUS family. God is so good. Love all the pictures. XX Sara
Hey Girl Friend, I love reading your blog and seeing you and the boys. Love you so much and miss you more. I hope the Lord allows you to move back to sunny southern Cali so we can see those boys grow up. It was sweet to see all the pictures of Kelly. What a love. Can't believe she's before the Throne and experiencing our glorious Lord in person. Wow! One day we will see her in the glory the Lord has promised us...what an inheritance! I pray for you, Cristi, Brian and your mom all the time. Losing a loved one while we're passing through time here is hard but what an amazing hope we have. Praise the Lord we don't mourn without hope. I pray He is faithful to you during the hard days of missing Kelly. May He bring you comfort in knowing she's safe in His company and rejoicing at the thought of your arrival. I love you very much my friend...our hearts can ache together in our losses. I love being in the body of Christ and thank Him for all the family he blesses me with. I will enjoy every moment of eternity with you. Lin
Thumbs up to that post, sis!! Man, I miss Kelly, seeing her in those pictures, I can almost hear her laugh. Anyways, be looking for something yummy (and hopefully NOT moldy) in the mail in the next day or 2, sent today priority mail. I'm going to try to give you a call tomorrow evening. I love seeing the precious faces of my two nephews. I can't wait to see them at Christmas. Love you, Sissy
Okay I am SO proud of you! Look at you go! Before you know it you will be all caught up! I seriously loved seeing pics of Montana and all your family! They are so precious! I can't believe how big Ellie is! She is gorgeous! And the ones of Drew in his bathing suite. Stop. Dying. I love his little body. Yummiest little boy. And I loved the comment from Lin, how precious is your dear friend. I loved the pictures of Kelly. I still can't believe all that's happened. I love the one of her and Bri. We should scan those family photos you guys took into the computer so you can put them up on the blog. The ones with Kelly wearing the yellow necklace. I love you and I am praying for you guys.
All these pictures are fun and beautiful. Thanks for sharing. :)
