Dancin' With Myself (oh-oh-oh-oh)

This is what I found my daughter doing at 8:16pm in her room when she SAID she was going to play Noah's Ark with Heidi. She put "Billy Idol-Ultimate Collection" on her CD player by herself, then got up on her table and started dancing for Heidi IN HER UNDERWEAR! Should I be concerned? The girl LOVES Billy Idol, especially "Dancing with Myself" and "Mony, Mony." If she starts to dance the pogo, I'm gonna be reeeeeally scared.

Amber Waves of Grain

Isn't Montana gorgeous? Yesterday we took a little roadtrip. First we drove to Three Forks, Montana (where the Madison, Jefferson, and Gallatin Rivers meet to form the Missouri River and where you turn and go north to Helena) and went to church there. Then we ate lunch at the Wheat Montana Deli at the Wheat Montana Farms (this photo was taken just north of there) and drove another hour to Helena to visit Matt, Amie and Jake. We let the kids play, ate tasty venison stew and biscuits, played Scattergories, and watched Iraq election coverage (thank you, by the way, to our friends and family who have been serving in the military to make this happen! Indigo fingers are beautiful!).

Helena Handbasket

Addie watching "Barbie Rapunzel" just north of Three Forks, MT (I like it when she wants to watch that movie because the music is nice--not annoying like most kids' movies).

Sleepy Heidi offers me her bottle as we drive to Helena... 

There's Rich driving his hoopty... 

That's me with Montana hills in the background. 

Look how skinny Jakers is! He is always on the move! 

Heidi: Hi, Jakers! I missed you!
Jake: I missed you, too! Enough small talk...let's get to work destroying the living room!
Heidi: Yay! Where do we start?
Jake: Let's start with the DVDs and videos, then we'll move on to the dog's bowl in the kitchen!

Demolition Duo hard at work. 

The Posts and Melins say good night--Happy Iraq Election Day! (Amie, Jake, Matt-my bro, Rich, Addie, Me, & Heidi)

Here's our house from the front (that's Rich's new paid-cash hoopty in the driveway) early Satuday morning. Aside from steps and landscaping, the outside is DONE!
