Montana…The Family Way!

Sorry for being off-line for the last few days!  The Montana Ranch Adventure hosted its first large group this past weekend – The Family Way!!  Nearly all of William’s immediate family was in attendance!  6 kids, 7 adults and a whole lot of food.  I like the motto Live, Love, Laugh….However, I think Eat, Live, Love, Laugh might be more appropriate.  At one point we had 4 adults and 3 kids in the kitchen (if you remember, my kitchen is about as big as a hallway), but we managed to get 3 meals out plus snacks each day!

We also started patching Nora.  She has a condition called Amblyopia.  YIKES right?  No, it’s just the formal name for a Lazy Eye.   Her cousin Rance also patches for a different reason, but it just so happened her patches came in during their visit here, making it much easier to get her to wear her patch.  This morning she asked me if she COULD wear one.  Victory for this Mama!

Everyone got to snowmobile, sled, build snowman, we went on walks, had long talks, made googly eyes at the babies, and played dominos in the evening.  We did take time to watch the Bronco’s win.

So much fun was had, can’t wait for them all to come back!

Foto Friday

Ok So I’m a bit late for the Wordless Wednesday Post so Foto Friday (I thought I would improvise, plus I love captions)!  Here is yesterday in Pictures!  So awesome to watch the kids with their Aunt Jewel!  Its been nearly 3 months since they saw her, quite a change from nearly everyday when we all lived in Timber Lake!  Life sure takes us different directions.
