A Quiet Dinner Out

Here is our last dinner out at Jags

Voula, Lee, Francis and Lindsay

Frankie and Brian

This is where first Grady and then Francis ended up during dinner as they both fell asleep, made for a very peaceful dinner out for all the adults. We were lucky there was so much floor space or someone would have had to cut Lindsay's and my dinner for us!

Montana Skiing

Here are some of the pictures from Whitefish Mountain

Look at all that snow!

Brian posing on the slopes.

Grady, Connor and I gave Megan a break by going into town for a few hours then meeting the dads for lunch. Connor enjoyed seeing his daddy at the Beirstube.

Montana 2011

I'm going to do this post in three stages. Condo, Skiing, Dinner at Jags. Here are some pics from our 3rd annual trip to Columbia Falls, MT. The past 3 years we have stayed at Meadow Lake Resort, it has always been a great place to stay. Close to skiing in Whitefish and shopping in Kalispell

Grady, Francis and Connor relax on the couch before bedtime. The girls we seriously out numbered on this trip!

Watching Caillou on the iPhone. Brian says in 20 years they will be laughing at how we all thought an iPhone was great technology!

Watching the Grammys after the lil ones have been put to bed.

Brian's attempt a a group shot of everyone playing cards.

Isabel Turns 2

Despite January makin its best effort to make it hard for us to celebrate Isabel's birthday we managed it after a few false starts. Sorry the pics are a bit out of order but I just didn't feel like sorting them today :D

Birthday Girl with her Birthday Cake

Yum! Purple Icing!

Grady having a hoot in Isabel's princess tent

Helping unwrap presents

Uncle can turn down Isabel when she asks him to wear the pink Potato Head glasses. A good look for Brian?

More tearing into presents

Pull! That quilt was stuffed in there tight!

Hmm what did You get Isabel?


Happy Birthday Isabel :D

1/2 Way to Stampede

Our good friends the Martin Family host a (typically) annual 1/2 way to Stampede party to help get through winter and look forward to The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth. Which I hear is being attended by the Royal Couple this year...but I digress. In any case here are some pics from the recent event.

Grady 10 mins before we left for the party. This little nap helped him party til 1am

Grady and Daddy go for a "pony" ride

Yeehaw!

A very late and maybe not so flattering (but the only one I had) group shot.
