Bertha Marie Hansen

We finally named her. Yeah! Here are a few of the fun pics of the week. You will all have to take a trip to Louisville if you want to see some more. We sure are happy to have Mom and Dad here. I think Dad needs a few more things to keep him occupied though. The girls love to see the baby and always want to touch her. Maren loves to swipe Hannah's binki and Lily wants to hold her and touch her soft hair.

So in the course of the week this sweet little ones name has changed several times. We have decided now and her name is Bertha Marie. We will call her Marie and Love it.

Tid-bit of summer

We made progress.  We got all the stucco done and painted, all the new windows are in, all the old kitchen cabinets out.  The list of things to do is GRADUALLY getting shorter.  I told James we'd better get it done soon cuz he ran out of brothers to come help.  :0)

A quick family shot before church.  Tyler was handy to have around.   And here is Mommy's big helper!  He watched me paint for two days and I guess he figured he knew what he was doing by then.  While I was concentrating on a small brush area (up the big orange ladder) he grabbed my mini-roller and went to town.  Nothing a little more paint couldn't fix!

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!!
