"To look for beavers!"

Mom “Your friends call you garbanzo bean?”
Maddison “That’s right Mom!”

Daddy's Little Helper

Since Maddison has been spending so much time helping Steve build the fence, I decided she needed a tool belt of her own.

I couldn't find a kid sized tool belt at the store so I upgraded this little pocketed tool belt I found in the adult tool department. I think it does the trick.  

Sunset

We get some pretty amazing sunsets out our front door. This was tonight's show. 

  

Sage Afton

This little one is four months old today. With everything that has happened in the past four months it hardly seems possible she is only that old. She should be a year old! It doesn't help that she is about the same size as her nine month old cousin. We love her so much!

My squishy Sagie!

Helping Dad in the yard.

Visit to Utah

Hanging out with Grandpa and Grandma.

Playing with cousin Livies. 

Yard Work.

Steel trim is in and stakes welded.

Bark has arrived.

Fence materials have arrived.

Now it just needs to be installed. I will leave that up to Steve while I work on other things...

This is our new couch but I don't love the pillows it came with so I'm unstiching them and sewing on new fabric. I'm a little nervous to be dismantling our new, expensive  couch so wish me luck. Fingers crossed I don't mess it up. I'll post photos when it is done. 

Surprise

We were surprised at lunch today when floats started showing up outside our windows. 

Apparently the high school down the street was holding its homecoming parade and it started right in front of our house. 

And when there are floats parked in front of your driveway filled with high school kids, and there is a cute kid waving at you, there is lots of candy to be had. 

Lots. 

Sleeping Baby

Even when she is sleeping, Sage keeps a close tab on her pacifier.

Funny Faces

Fancy hairdo.

"Look Mom! I'm a robot! I'm a robot!"

Fair Faces.

We went to the Idaho State Fair last week and had a great time.

We ate lots of food including a fried Twinkie, fried cheese curds, and a fried tiger's ear (scone). 

Maddison milked a cow and then got some chocolate milk for her labors. 

This pony ride only lasted about 2 minutes before she was ready to get off.

What a squishy face!

On the Ferris Wheel. 

Maddison was really good at ringing the boat bell.
