Hazen Days

We met up with our friends in Hazen for Hazen days.
Cayden & Prestyn had so much fun with Kael.
There weren't alot of people there when we went so the 3 boys got extra long rides in the train. :) They loved it & the guy driving was so nice.
I think he was enjoying getting paid to drive around all day.
We let the boys jump in the bounce house for awhile too.
They had fun!

She's so sweet.

2 words - SAFE ZONE!

some rules for waterfights with the Klatts
1) 3 people are off-limits (grandma's, babies and pregnant women ~ scratch that...pregnant women are game ~thanks to Anna & her humor)
2) You MUST plot out your strategy & be sneaky (like telling Papa his tire is flat) then gang up so not only do they get 1 bucket of water but 32 and a little dribble from Prestyn's cup
3) Anyone with a camera stays DRY
4) there is ONE safe zone & you are not technically in the "SAFE ZONE" until you have a foot in the pool, once that foot leaves the pool ~ GAME ON.

BABY SHOWER!

Justyn's baby brother (yes I'm calling you that Shayne) and his wife are having their first baby in September. We are all so excited to meet little Karly & see Shayne & Anna as parents.
*
We had a small family baby shower for them.
Here is the cake.
Here are the parents to be!
Here are the presents.


And here are the attendees.
(Yes we even made the men join us, and they even played the game)


It was fun, the guys did good with the game, Shayne & Anna got alot of cute things for Karly!!

We can't wait to meet her!!

Turtle Lake

The boys went out fishing & CAUGHT A FISH!
Nobody knew/or wanted to filet the fish, so Uncle Ted came the the rescue & did a tutorial on how to filet a fish.
Everyone was tuned in to the action
(Cayden was SOOO excited - he wanted Nana to cook it up for him to eat right away)
Great Grandma Dee snuggling with Sidney.

Great Grandma Janice snuggling her too!
PEEK...I see you!!

zonked out.

2 Caydens, 2 Sidneys and Prestyn (PRESSED-IN the middle)

We have some friends back home who have a Cayden & a Sidney (Sydney) too. So we thought it's be fun to get them together.

I'm corny & thought it'd be funny to have my post be "2 Cayden's, 2 Sidney's and a Prestyn "Pressed- in" the middle"

So what do you think - is my title cheesy?

Tractor Auction


When we went to the farm there was a tractor auction.
The guy (Louis Toavs) had the largest John Deere collection in the world (or so says the auction company's website)! People came from all over the world to see it/purchase the tractors. There were people from Australia, Sweeden, Bosnia, England, and everywhere in America.
I guess some of the tractors sold for over $50,000 each.
Here is me & the kids (melting to death) it was so hot out.

The boys LOVED the tractors & even got to buy a couple little (very little) toy tractors - we couldn't afford the price tag on most of them.

I couldn't believe the number of tractors he had & how perfectly they had lined them all up. Made me happy. :)

THE FARM!

The sign as you pull onto the driveway to the Bison Ranch.
Love the bright blue Montana sky.
A buffalo sits atop the mailbox.
miles of green and blue with specks of clouds
BLISS

TONS & TONS of bales

One of my little men riding 4-wheeler with me!
FUN

Love'n farm life.
and waiting patiently for his turn in the swather with Papa

You know your in Montana when you ask where to find the guys and are told "by THE tree"

We had a little part of our farm time that wasn't so fun.
Prestyn burned his hand on the BBQ grill. :(
Poor boy. He cried for a LONG time, and there wasn't much I could do,
other than comfort him & snuggle him.

The burn looked so painful, but he played well & was happy, so I made sure to just keep it extra clean.

He survived and managed to get some sleep that night.
Then we went for a playdate with some friends.
Cayden was reunited with his buddy Alexa once again
& even got to spend time with Aubri (who he hasn't seen in almost 2 years)
They had so much fun!

Grammie set up the spinkler for the boys to run through so we had to do a mini photo shoot with all them in their suits.


The kids all fell in love with Terri ~ she is so good with them.
I had Prestyn wear gloves to bed to keep the bandage on his burn.
I can't leave the litte miss out of the picture. Here she is!!

Heading to the FARM!!!

I got brave & tried my first adventure to the Farm ALONE with my 3 kids!!
Justyn was off in Minnesota for a boys weekend with his brothers so I thought "why not" I'll give it a go.
THE KIDS DID GREAT!
*
We stopped in to visit my sister & her kidlets on the way.
Charlie is such a snuggle bug & LOVED holding miss Sidney.
Hope is a little Mommy, & barely left my side -she was so anxious to get her grubs on Sidney. She didn't want to put her down. Aren't they BEAUTIFUL!!?
The 3 middle boys were WILD and crazy and having a ball.


I realize I'm missing Mr. Anthony ~ he's such a sweet little chubbs!!
*
After the visit with my sister we went on to visit some other friends on the way.
Miss Ava & Miss Sidney got to hang out for a bit.

And so did Aydan, Cayden & Prestyn.


We made it to the farm & the kids travelled really well, UNTIL we headed NORTH to the farm. I knew I was in the country when they (the boys) were getting roudy & I stopped dead in the middle of the road & just laid on the horn.
They were SILENT the rest of the drive.
*
Auntie Laura was SO excited to meet Sidney, and of course Sidney loved her & smiled right away.
Uncle Ryan came in to get some snuggles in too!!
