Fall Festival

Joey and Turner joined boyscouts...so they wer in the fall festival parade in belgrade this year! It was really cold and rainey. Evie's hair was in curlers practicing for Jessica's wedding. Needless to say her head got a little chilly.

More Lake Pictures

Here are a couple pictures of the Labor Day weekend. After Jess's party we went up to Canyon Ferry Lake. The kids really had a good time the last time we went up, so we thought we would go agian!


Here is Evie with here paddler, Dalton...one of my cousin's son's. And Joey getting a non-motorized ride from Uncle David!

Jessica's Bridal Shower!

Picture of Flowers from Kelly's Mom (Kayleigh's future Mom-in-law)
These are for the family far away that missed the party! It was a Tropical Theme!
Kayleigh and I threw Jess a Bridal Shower. I even made her a Bride Hat to wear.

Just a quick note...I apologize! It was too hard to be hostess and photographer...but this is what we got. Kayleigh and I realized...no picture of the cake....or the food...or the bride in her bride hat! Oh well, sorry Jess....did the best I could!

This picture is Jess with lots of household "things" on. It was a memory game to see who remember what she was "wearing. (DOUBLE CLICK THE PICTURES FOR CLOSE UP VIEWS!) We made her walk around so everyone could see her!

There were alot of people there from Helena, which was nice for Jess. I think in total we ended up with ~ 18 people
"----Becky, Jess, and Eric/Vinny's Grandmother. --Sarah (friend from Helena), Eric's Youngest Neice, and Eric's Mom Barb.
In the front, Jessica's soon-to-be Sisters-in-laws, and in the back Turner's Grandma Cindy and her mother.

Evie's hair

Evie is in Jessica's wedding on the 23rd of September, so we are trying some thoughts with her hair...just getting her to let me do it is a achievement! This is her in soft curlers... it didn't work because 1..her hair didn't have enought sticky stuff in it and 2..she wouldn't leave it in long enough!

Joey's First Day of 1st Grade

Here are pictures of the official 1st grader's first day of school!

Mom's 50th SURPIZE PARTY

This pictures are mostly for Grandpa and Grandma Kersey. We (my brother, sister and I) threw a surpize party for our mom's 50th birthday. She was actually surprized, I asked her to go to the movie with me and I took her to the Belgrade Senior Center where her party was being held...we thought it was fitting considering...she is now considered a SENIOR CITIZEN. Anyway, I told her there was a garage sale there and I wanted to stop real fast...she said "there's no garage sale here.." I had to push her in the door where her friends were waiting for her. I think it turned out to be a nice day for her. For some reason, alot of my pictures came out fuzzy...so here are the good ones!

Fishing, Skiing, and tubing

We spent an extended weekend at Canyon Ferry Lake. It was the kids first "camping" experience, complete with sleeping in a tent and roasting marshmellows and hotdogs. Joey caught a fish early Saturday morning and was determined to catch another one...so every free minute that he was not in the water he was fishing. Evie really liked the jet ski...and she really liked it to go fast! I am pretty sure that is a warning of how she will drive in 13 more years!


Joe also tried water skiing for the first time. He caught on fairly quickly as you can see.

Evie was so glad that he came back in one piece she ran over to give him a hug!

Swim Lessons

Thanks to Jessica's help Joey and Evie got 2 weeks of swimming lessons. Joe and I went to their last lesson and it was great to see how far they had come. Joey can swim underwater, tread water, float on his back, and even go under to get things off the bottom of the pool. Evie for the most part just got really comfortable being in the water. Here are some pictures of the last lesson.

Swing-set and the Summer-time

We had this swingset built for the kids this summer...their favority thing to do on it...is look over the fence at what the neighbor kids are doing. Go figure. Evie spent the first 10 days swing non-stop. But the slide has been too hot with the sun directly on it. We will be getting woodchips soon, but it just seems like every weekend we have something to do...so eventually we will be geting to all the little things. We had approximately 18 days of >100 degrees so we had to find a way to cool off. Here are some pics of the kids in the kiddie pool we got.
