{We Bought Land: Take 2 & A Week Of Many First's}

It's TRUE!! We bought land again!! Here's the short version of a Loooong stressful story: So as many of you know we sold our last house back in April/May of this year. We then bought 3 acres out in the Milo area(so we thought). We bought it from a guy whom we thought we trusted and put a well on it.That's when an old Farmer called and said, "Thanks for the well on my farm". Come to find out the guy we thought owned the land really didn't, but he wanted to buy it from the old farmer and needed more $. So needless to say, between our lawyer, the middle guy's lawyer, and the old farmer's lawyer...it was pretty bad. On top of that the guy we paid for the land SPENT our money and didn't have it. Well, in the midst of all of this the old farmer passes away(drowns) and we have no land or money. The outcome is that the guy who took our money is working it off through Austin and we're still renting(not a fave)..............

But just this week we bought more land..........................HERE!!!

It's just an acre and a half but peaceful and it feels right!!

We hope to be in it and finished before Christmas and the baby comes!!

Because it's starting to get A LOT cooler, we decided

to make one last trip up to Island Park for the summer time

part of the year to go 4 wheeling and boating with the kids.

We had a blast!!

Brayden wasn't too sure about taking his picture...he

was more focused on why his chocalate snack melted in his hands. :)

A new and improved way to eat a sucker!!

A little knee-boarding action

Grandpa let Kaydree take control of the boat...we loved doing donuts!!

{A Little TOO much fun!}

This past week we have had so much fun!

The kids had free passes

to the Tautphaus Park Funland so we headed there Saturday.

After that we went over to the playground to play.

Austin surprised the kids and met us there. We

hadn't seen him for a week. The kids were so excited!!

That night Austin and I went out on a date to

see the Bar J Wranglers. It was my first time and

I loved it!

After church on Sunday we went to Yellowstone

because we had free passes!

Paint Pots ~ The kids loved these but Kaydree

was confused why she couldn't paint with one. :)

And this Elk was amazing! We were no more than 25 feet

away! A park ranger was there making sure we all kept

our distance!

OLD Faithful!!

An actual ok family pic thanks to the Denmark and

Sweden Girls!!

Kaydree Lynn....liking pics more and more!!

And Last night.....The David Cook Concert!!!!

He walked right past us!! It was a great concert!

I didn't realize how much of a Rock concert it would

be though!

Just for you MOM!!
