Overdue..

Well, it seems I am always overdue for a update! We haven't been doing too much lately but we have been having some fun. First of all Ian has been begging me to do preschool and since we still don't know very many people in our neighborhood and I don't want to pay for preschool, I am just having a little preschool with him and Eliza twice a week. He loves it! Eliza still can't quite figure out what is going on but she is being a good sport. Here's a photo of their first day of preschool...

A few weeks back we planned a camping trip to Scout mountain here in town, and unfortunately we had to cancel so Mike could fight a fire. The kids were disappointed so we got out the tent and set it up in the living room and ate our camping treats in it. They had lots of fun as you can tell by their smiles.
Last week Mike actually had some days off. And since he missed all the family reunions and trips that me and the kids took this summer, we took a little mini-vacation to Yellowstone Park. There was a huge storm forcasted for that weekend so we stayed in a motel instead of camping, which the kids loved because it had a pool. Unfortunately I forgot to charge my camera battery before leaving on the trip, and we only got a couple of pictures before the camera died. We saw a coyote, lots of elk, some buffalo, and some ducks. Everything else must have been hiding from the cold and snow! Eliza's new word this week is buffalo. But now when she says it, she runs to the window to look out and see them and then asks, "where they go?" I think she wants to move to Montana.
