Trip to Montana Part 1

Well we're back from our trip to Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon!! :D We ended up being gone for almost three weeks! After filling out a couple applications and meeting with several different people, we've decided that for now the Lord has not made it incredibly clear that we are to pack up and leave Sunny Southern California. For now Brian has a job working for a friend whose family owns 6 car washes. He will work with them doing maintenance and random stuff until we figure out where to go from here. I took a ton of pictures on our trip but I'm gonna try to only post my very favorites. I'll put a link at the bottom for the rest!

Sarah was very brave to let Chloe paint her nails!

Gramma's swingset with Cousins

Fun with Uncle Josh

Gramma didn't want Chloe to get left out when it came to dessert time, so she figured out how to make strawberry icecream AND marshmallows!! Or as Chloe says it "marsh-pellows"

Enjoying the tasty-ness with Gracie Fish

Loves for Gramma!

Chloe got her 2nd haircut ever by the oh so amazing Auntie Mandy!

We made our specialty, BBQ pizza for everyone one of the Friday evenings for dinner.

One evening after dinner we all went out and played a nice game of ultimate frisbee! The weather was a bit chilly and windy, but felt good when you're running around.

One day Brian made crepes with a strawberry creme cheese filling mmmmm they're so yummy!!

Playin' a game of Bingo with Grampa

And "grab and scream"

Spring!!

Uncle Matts goose

Uncle Matt's chickens!

Chloe loved the chickens! She would sit there and softly call "chickens!" and they would come running to eat the grass she poked through the fence.

One day Brian took us on a walk through the neighborhood, showing us places that he played when he was little.

While we were out, we stopped to visit Margaret, a special lady that goes to Brian's folks church. Brian has known her since she was just a little guy.

 These next couple pictures make me smile. You can tell that Brian's Dad is very comfortable holding babies. Colton would just sit in the crook of his arm and...

...watch him do the dishes...

...listen to him talk to Gramma...

or, read the newspaper.

We spent almost exactly two weeks here and it was a very restful time. Lots of hanging out with family and talking and praying about our future. I think Brian and I both really needed that break!
