It's Raining and Pouring

We have had HUGE rain and hail storms lately. In the 4 years we have lived here we have never seen the creek behind our house have water in it but now it is flowing just fine. Here are a few videos and pictures from two days (a Saturday and Sunday).

VIDEO:

An hour after the storm finished Kyle and Jamin went out to see the neighborhood and there was still a ton of water rushing down the streets.

This pond is typically dry but full of water now!

We continue to have small storms everyday and are still trying to clean up the rubber that was lifted from the storms and find some way to drain the swimming pool under our trampoline.

Our sandbox is a giant mud pit filled with quick sand....

Gross horse shoe pits

Yesterday we spend some time cleaning up our yard and it is starting to look much better!....until the next big storm hits lol.

Sun is out...Time to have fun!

I set up a part of our big slip and slide for the boys to have fun with! Mommy, may have went down it a time or two also lol. You can definitely tell a difference in our house when there is warm weather outside! Lots more silliness and fun! Silliness during lunch...Dylin put this bucket on his head and thought it was the funniest thing ever. Some pictures of my handsome man....I love you so much Jamin!

Daddy's Little Helper and Ice Festival

Friday Jamin and I went to visit Kyle and work and took a few pictures! Jamin loved seeing the big trucks and playing in his daddy's office. Daddy's little Helper Writing down important jobs to go look at We think he's gonna be a lefty! Taking over the business This weekend we also went to Cripple Creek for the Ice Festival! We enjoyed seeing the ice scultures and going down the ics slide! My attempt to make peanutbutter-banana-honey sandwiches on the way home...Kyle didn't think I did very well because half of his banana was on the floor of the car :)

Road Trip Part 5

Monday morning rolled around and we decided to make our way from Bozeman down to the West Yellowstone Entrance. The drive was amazingly gorgeous! Just driving in Harvey! We made it to West Yellowstone but were turned away from two different RV parks because of the amount of kids we had with us. This was the first time I have ever felt looked down upon and discriminated against. I literally had one man ripped a piece of paper out of my hands because he didn't even want to consider letting that many people stay in his park. I explained to him that they are all young and well behaved kids but apparently he has had way too many bad experiences with kids. We didn't let it get us down though. We finally found one that didn't have any concerns letting 4 adults come in with 5 kiddos. The place was actually brand new and the closest RV park to the west Yellowstone entrance so we really lucked out!!! After we got checked in we decided to go into the park ...
