First Day of School August 2016

I probably get the most excited for school to start...it was my favorite day growing up and still is. I don't think the boys care much lol.

I decided this year I would do a Montessori inspired unit each week with a different theme. This week the theme was nature.

Our Montessori shelves for exploration. These are free for the boys to explore anytime during school. It's nice to keep them busy if I need to work one-on-one with each.

Science...looking at seeds and then doing an experiment with them...

Taking first day of school pictures...

I love my boys!

Exploring with magnifying glasses...

Our science experiment...this is how we logged our seeds each day

Malachi enjoyed the guest bed while we were in school...

After Dylin woke up from his nap, he loved exploring the nature trays

Nature matching activity...He did awesome....totally surprised me :)

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 ...
