OK, so I now I have been a complete slacker at this whole blogging business. Here are 5 things to get you updated on our lives:
1. We went to Montana to see Tony's family. We had a good time hanging out. We went to see a place called 'Gates of the Mountains' on the Missouri River. Just imagine 1200 foot limestone cliffs rising straight up from the river. It was really amazing. Lewis and Clark explored the area and named it. Here is a picture of the "monster" of the mountains:
2. Cole's cousin Tate was blessed on the Sunday when we were up there. It was nice to have all of Tony's family together. Cole loves his three cousins and would laugh and smile when they played with him.
3. Tony is enjoying his last week of the regular work week. The State implemented a 10-hour, 4 day work week starting next Monday, August 4. Cole and I are going to miss not seeing him at lunchtime, and not going on late afternoon walks with him. On the plus side, he will be home all day Fridays so we can play!
4. If you ever want to grow potatoes on a big chunk of land in the middle of nowhere, head on up to Northeastern Idaho. This was the view on our way up to Montana:
That's right, folks. A whole lot of nothing (including other cars)!
5. And, last but not least, Cole has learned a new trick. He can pick things up and drop them intentionally! I know what you're thinking...so what? But it is really cute to watch. Here's a video of my ever-so-talented little boy. I apologize in advance for all the camera-shaking and for all the times I say "uh-oh". :) Here you go:
