This n' That

We've had lots of interesting things happening lately besides the house buying process. Dawson is about to start T-ball, so we jump started the season by practicing on our own. We've practiced baseball with Dawson since he was big enough to hold a bat. He's got some natural ability, and he is gaining more confidence. He loves being outside and spending time with J.D. and I. That's what we love the most is that he loves playing, but for him it's more about just being active with his family.

 He is turning into such a funny kid! I couldn't ask for a better kid. He is caring for all of us, always tries to do the right thing, listens, and has the best sense of humor. He is a kid and still tests his parents, but for the most part J.D. and I are constantly saying how he is such a good kid.
He is such a character!

 And then there are those times..... those times that are questionable. The times that I'm not quite sure where boys gets these ideas of how to wear a shirt, or what to add to their attire. Don't worry, once I saw and snapped a black mail picture, they changed their look. :-)

 Having Jori and Danny live close has been so nice. We had a date night where we swapped watching kids for 2 hours each so both of us could go out. After we had our 2 hours, we just stayed at Jori's so the kids could keep playing while Jori and Danny went out. Poor Monty....

 MK loves her babies, and LOVES Monty. She thought this was the coolest thing to have a real live baby to pretend with.

Monty played along, but I'm sure as he gets older he won't be so willing.

We have had a couple of good weather days where we have been able to go to the park. We are meeting lots of people and getting lots of fresh air. The town isn't looking so dead either! The green grass and blossoming trees are making this place look pretty. (The joke is that Glendive is a dive).

J.D. is doing great and continuing to learn a lot. He is the new Elders Quorum President and called Danny to be his 1st counselor. Needless to say, we are seeing less of J.D., but we know the blessings are needed. J.D. is part of a 'beautify Glendive Committee' which he is so excited about. They've already starting finding funds and started planning to make this community look and feel better. With the boom of the economy, the town couldn't keep up. So there's plenty to do. I hope to be able to be on PTA while Dawson goes to school. I'm excited to get more involved in the community as well.

So far so good with our adventures up here. We miss Utah a lot, and we miss our families even more.
