Fair

We played from about 3 til 9 and walked the whole fair grounds about 3 times. It was lots of fun to see the shows and watch the girls get so excited to see the different animals. Maren was trying so hard to reach the goats through the fences and Lily was a little too brave to go up to the cows and pet them whenever she wanted. I have had a few contractions but not any labor yet. I will probably just have sore legs and still be tired tomorrow. It was a fun family day.

Fun update

So I just thought I would let everyone know that Matt is doing amazing! Hes been busy working out, playing with plains, studying, and taking tests! I have to say I'm so very proud of him! He has not failed any of the tests he has had to take! he took his final this morning and passed with flying colors! Hes done so well he has not scored anything under and 85%!!! He is one of the few guys who have not been put on mandatory study! Even though he has not been put on mandatory study he still studies for at least 2-3 hrs a day!! I am so proud of him for being very organized and committed to his studies! He is now done with the classroom part and can now move on to the fun playing with the plain part! He has had some fun already playing in flight simulators and playing around with tools. We had a fun weekend playing in Dallas this past weekend. We stayed in the most lavish hotel i have every stayed in and played at six flags! We had a ton of fun celebrating are 3 year anniversary at a delicious seafood restaurant and enjoying are hotel over looking the city! I'm sad to leave Matt again but am very excited its only short term!! I cant wait to come back and live close to him and be able to see him every day!!

Having some fun at stake and shakes!!!=)

Having a little fun and very handsome in uniform!!

So serious!

Potty Training

Well Lily isn't doing so great with the whole training thing, but Maren sure thinks it's fun. I tell Lily it's time to go potty and she runs to hide, but Maren runs for the bathroom and sits on the potty as fast as she can. She even gets her diaper off sometimes before getting there.

Update!

So I updated matt and my blog. We have had a lot going on and i would have posted on this one but I was done with the whole bloging thing! Im going out to see matt in 10 days so I will post more pictures of him. He is doing very well and ready for us to live together again. I will be in texas with him for 3 weeks then back in bozeman for 2 weeks and then all of september with matt again. Its hard for us to be apart so its nice that we will be able to see eachother again!!

Summer Activites

We have been having lots of fun with the weather turning warm. I just thought I would show ya some cute pics of the girlies.

Painting Job

It was pretty messy work, but boy was is worth it. The walls are painted a light creamy color with the white trim that make a wonderful contrast with the green and red door and our beautiful new floors. I love it! We (Peter) just have to finish cleaning up the trim and paint the cabinets and we are done with the inside of the house. It is sooo nice. Peter is also working on the outside wood that needs to be scraped, fix the rot and repainted. He is working in stages around work and rain. He just finished the gabble end above the driveway and it looks great.

Finally almost at the end!!!!!

So I have been lucky enough to talk to Matt every Sunday since he has been gone! He is doing very well and for some reason it does not seem to affect him as bad as we all thought. He is actually enjoying himself but really missing the fun times at home and the simple things. I started thinking of all the simple things that life has to offer and how much the simple things really do matter. After all its the simple things that lead up to the big things in life. When i was at church i started to think about how the simple things in the Gospel bring us great joys in our life. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be a member of the only true church on the earth today. I'm so grateful for a husband who is obedient to the word of God. Who loves the gospel so very much. I'm so grateful for the family he grew up in that teaches their children strong gospel principles and did their very best to make sure he took his wife to the Temple. I'm so excited to teach our kids all about the Gospel and hope that they to one day enjoy the simple things in life that lead to the big things! I believe Matt is doing so well because he has not only the love of his family for support but the love from His Father in Heaven. I know that by reading scriptures and saying prayers even when we are far apart only make us grow stronger and closer to one another. Sorry for a long post with no pictures but I hope that as you go through out your week you take a minute to really enjoy the simple things in life. That even when baby's are crying and things don't seem to be going are way that we thank Heavenly Father for all that we do have. Well i better get off to work but I love you all very much and cant wait to see you again.
Love,
Melissa
