Fire Prevention Week

Every year during fire prevention week, the fire department puts on a community awareness activity. Since grandpa is a fireman we always go and participate, and the kids absolutely love it. They crawl through smoke trailers to simulate what it would be like in a fire, they get to spray the hose and put out a fire, they watch a play, climb on the fire truck, and have snacks. They also get plenty of coloring pages about fire safety.

Flag football

Tre has started flag football. It is so cute to go and watch him play. I guess football season from here on out will be crazy for us. His very first game we just laughed because he had know idea what to do. Well, I laughed but it was killing Benny. But he is doing so much better and has scored two touch downs so far this season. He is loving it and loves even more that he and dad can go practice in the back yard. It's going to be a fun season.

Little Hula Dancers

We recently attended a luau with some of our friends. Kaylie and their daughter Kina have become such good friends. They had a great time dancing the night away at the Luau. They would stand and copy all of the moves the performers would do. I think I watched them as much as the show.

First day of School

This was Kaylie's first day of Preschool. She was so excited. The great part about her preschool is that it is located right next door.

Sitting and waiting for class to start.

I can not believe that we have a first grader. He is so excited to finally be going all day long so he can have lunch at school and have three recesses.

Getting on the bus.

Haka Time!!!!!

The Johnson family reunion always has a program/talent show ....this year Grandpa Johnson asked Benny to do the haka. He couldn't say no to grandpa so Tre and Benny did the haka as part of our family talent. I'm glad Benny is willing to things like this so Tre gets opportunities to learn part of his Polynesian culture.

The Childrens Museum

I found out that the Childrens Museum had free fridays so we thought we would go check it out. Lets just say I'm glad I didn't have to pay money to go there. The kids had a blast but it was so ghetto.

Kaylie loved blowing bubbles on the bubble wall. There was a pully that would lift the rod out of the water and there would be a wall of bubble to experiment with.

Tre, Tarzan, and Kiki also loving the bubble wall.

Kaylie playing in the toddler section.

I couldn't pull tre away from this. You could build ramps for marbles to roll down.

Kaylie played in the pinto beans.

Tre watching his marble go down the path he built.

They put on a good puppet show.

What imaginations they have.

Kaylie in the vets office. They could take care of all kind of animals.

The funnest thing was this cone that blew out air. You would put the ball on it and it would float. The kids discovered that tre's hat was fun to put on it as well. It would spin in the air. It would also blow your hair and cheeks in all sorts of directions.

Block races.

what? I have a blonde child.

Cowboy Tre

Working at the work shop.

This is what Kue thought of the whole thing.

Bozeman Beach

So on a smaller scale Bozeman Beach is just like Rigby Lake. Tre was so confused though....he kept asking where the waves were. He knows what the "beach" in Cali really is.

Kue just hung out while the kids played.

All the kids checking out the water.

They decided to build a river.

They got way more comfortable in the water as time went on....can you see Kaylie. She looks like an aligator just barely above water.

It got so HOT, I took Kue in to cool off a little. He liked it. See how red his cheeks are.

The kids dug a little "lake" and put water in it. It was just the right size for Kue.

So tired. Look at that little chubby boy.

Downtown Festival

We heard about this festival that goes on every thursday in downtown bozeman. When we got there we realized that it was just an excuse for all the adults in town to drink. We did the childrens activities, which there were like four and then we left...quickly. Not really the best place for kids.

Kaylie getting face paint

She decided on a sparkly lady bug. But with in two min of getting it she decided that she wanted it off. So we pulled out the baby wipes and cleaned it right off.

Tre getting his face painted

A spider....of course he would get a spider.

Tre also doing the bean bag throw.

craft time

In my desperation to find things to do here in Bozeman I decided to buy some little crafts for the kids to paint. They enjoyed it and it took up some time in this boring town.

Kue watching everyone paint.

Kaylie is so particular about what she is doing.

Kix and Kiki.

Tre and Tarzan

Splash Park in Belgrade

Belgrade splash park is also very new. We had to drive about 15 min. (to another town) to get there but it was well worth it.

Kaylie finally dared go into the water. She called it the tree.

Tre had run through every splashing spraying thing and was cold so he was trying to warm up.

Tre spraying the water gun. This is what he played with a majority of the time.

I promise I did Kaylie's hair that day but as soon as we got there she got nailed on the head with one of those dumping buckets.....you can see them in the back ground to the left of her head. It took her by suprise and flat knocked her ponytail out. One of them hit Tre and pulled his pants right down. He was embarrassed everyone saw his little white bum. ( and yes it is white)

Kix was so sweet to take Kue through the water a little bit to help cool him down. It was so hot that day... he didn't really care for the cold water though.

Tre and Kiki playing.

Kaylie in the "tree" again.

Me trying to keep Kue shaded....his skin doesn't do as well in the sun compared to my other kids.

All the kiddos worn out and ready to go....
