It's been awhile...

I haven't updated in a while! After our trip to MT we spent some time relaxing and catching up around the house, and then last weekend we headed out again! Ryan to MT for a big manly weekend hunting and hanging out with the boys looking for elk. They found elk, but didn't bring a dead one home! Bummer - the freezer is empty! :)

Tatum & I spent the weekend in Cali at Nana GG's house while Papa was hunting with Ryan. We had a great time relaxing by the pool, drinking daquiris, hot-tubbing, and shopping! Talk about good quality girl time!!!

I also have a few pics from the week before when we went with Daddy hunting. We had a great time.

I will only say - DO NOT fly with a 13 month old alone, unless you have a bucket full of energy you can take beforehand! :)

Trip to Montana!

So, last weekend we took a little (BIG) trip to MT. It was Labor Day weekend, Kortney's wedding (my BFF since waaaaay back when), and Lindsey Nagle's wedding (Ryan's lovely cousin). So we had a few reasons to make the trek. We were a little concerned traveling with T-Bug as she does not like the car. So we decided to leave at 4 pm and travel through the night. WOW was that an interesting idea. :) We made it to Glendive at 4:30 am! The little Bug slept from about 8:30-arrival in the Dive with only a few wake-ups! :) And she did the same on the way home.

Good parts about the trip:
T-bug traveled well! :)
The family was wonderful to us having our beds ready and made, meals when our stomach's growled, and toys galore for Princess Tatum.
It was so amazing to spend some QT with family.
Ryan got to take Tatum to the farm TWICE. She loved the chickens!
The weddings went off without a hitch! (not really, there was a hitch, but not a bad kind.) :)
We got to see GREAT Friends, including Uncle Eric & Heather. Tatum loved meeting Uncle Eric.

Bad parts about the trip:
Mama & Daddy were exhausted from traveling that far through the nights.
We all had bronchitis and we all got the flu within 2 days of each other.
We passed said flu on to other family members. BOO.

All in all, a wonderful time. Pics to follow.

Oh, did I mention Princess Tatum Bug is sleeping SO MUCH better lately? Just had to brag.

Loves.
