Lake Blaine Montana

So a few days after being home from Hawaii, we decided to be crazy and go with our friends to Montana. The Schmidt's (Michelle and Jon and their three kids) are so fun and we just couldn't pass it up. Jon and Tyson will both be working together at Primary Children's hospital for their residency program. Our kids have so much fun together. Looking back at these pictures we are so glad we went. We had  a lot of fun.

 Michelle's parent's live in this amazing house right on Lake Blaine. Even on the drive there Tyson couldn't get over how pretty it was.
The only bummer is it rained for a few of the days, but we made the most of it. The kids painted and of course we had an art show. They were all about it!



 The crazy boys out in the pooring rain, working on projects. Loving that they weren't working.
 Jon pulled the kids around all day. It was awesome!
Playing on the dock.
 Kennedy and Anna are such cute buddies.
 Having fun with the dad's on the kayak.


 They love just playing in the water with rocks and baggies.


 Tyson got up skiing right away, even though he couldn't remember the last time he tried. I was very impressed.

 Don't worry just a Bald eagle hanging out.
 Cameron playing with the camera.
 Kennedy dancing with Woody.
 Making cookies with Michelle's sister Brooke. Her cookies are amazing.
 All the kids sampling the dough.
 Made somores one night.
 Cameron's turn to go in the freezing water. As you can tell, he loved it! J/K He cried the whole time. He put his thumb down for slower before he was even in the water. After he was glad he went and talked all about it.




 Since he was pro on two JOn got him up on one. First time and he was a champ. I couldn't believe it. I knew he was athletic, but I was pretty jealous. I've never got up on slalom before. It was pretty exciting.

Thanks Schmidt's, we had a blast!!

Welcome Home

 As much fun as we had in Hawaii. 10 days away from the kids is a long time. We couldn't wait to get back to the little munchkins. They had such a good time with there grandma, Gramps, Sheri, Miley, the Cummings, and the Harris. Thanks to everyone who watched them. It was so nice knowing they weren't even missing us. Cameron was very excited to get his own shark tooth necklace and local sandals. Kennedy loved her lay and Hawaiian outfit. Thanks again Layne and Jeannine.

More Hawaii

 We had so much fun!!! It is crazy how many pictures we have. I had to limit it to these. This is when we went to Queen's Bath. So pretty. We even swam with sea turtles. Probably Cam's favorite part of what we told him we did. You can see it in the pictures. Still can't believe we jumped in.
















 Then we went to the beach, snorkled around. And later we headed up and hiked the Napali Coast. Maybe not the best idea for pregnant Sami, but we all made it. It was a cool hike. We were all tired and hungry when it was over.

Hawaii

 

I know this is way over due and feels like such a long time ago. But, after Tyson graduated we went to Kauai, Hawaii (with out the kids). Tyson's parents, Landon, Kimi, and Jen. We had such a good time and took so many pictures, so be prepared for a few posts.

After driving to Vegas and then two flights we made it there safely. We met Landon and Kimi there in Hawaii. After checking out the sweet condo we headed to Bubba Burgers and down to the beach.



Jen and I enjoying the sunset at the beach.
Layne and Jeannine (we can't thank you enough for the great time)
Just a bunch of goof balls!
