On Thursday, after months of trying out different shades of green paint, I
finally found one I liked. It is called "Sensuous Pear" and it is a
light green. I really like it. Dad and I painted my whole room!
On Friday morning, Preston and Fiona got into the dress up box after we finished school. Preston dressed up as Daniel Boone and Fiona dressed up as a Princess Bride. They were so cute together!
Dad is teaching us history during school.
Later that afternoon, Uncle Paul invited Dad to go down the river with him on his new cataraft. They floated right by our house!
On Saturday, all the kids got dressed up so that Mom could take our pictures at Lindley Park while we were in Bozeman. We were going to get a free JCPenney photo, but when we got to JCPenney, they said that they didn't have a photo studio. So Mom just decided since we were all dressed up, that she was going to take her own photo of us at Lindley Park.

Labor Day at Crevice Mountain
On Labor Day, our friend Cheryl hired us to split wood at her lodge on Crevice Mountain. The road to get up there is a one lane dirt road and it is very steep with a lot of turns. But once you get up to Crevice, it is really pretty.
It doesn't look steep, but when you are driving up this road, it is kind of scary...
This is the mine right before you get to her Lodge.
Cheryl's main Lodge. Three winter's ago, a grizzly bear broke into her Lodge and wrecked her kitchen. The grizzly was trying to look for food--it even turned on her oven!
All the boys cutting wood.
The chainsaw is very loud!
Dad helped build Cheryl's chapel three summer's ago.
Uncle Paul and Bennett.

The Living Room.
I liked this cool chandelier made out of an old wagon wheel.
The Dining Room.
(If you click on this picture, it will make it bigger and you can read it better. It's funny!)
This is where the big grizzly bear broke through the window.
Cheryl made us a big spaghetti lunch!
She also let us swim in her hot tub.
I thought this was funny....they had to put up barbed wire on their bedroom and bathroom windows, to prevent the bears from breaking in again!
George the dog and me.
One of Cheryl's three guest cabins.
She let us roast marshmallows around her campfire.
Matilda drove us down the mountain...:)

Ham Jam at Aunt Mauray's house!
On Friday, we went up to Aunt Mauray's house for a "Ham Jam" party. We ate ham, corn, beans, potatoes, salad and huckleberry pie for dessert. It was so good. Dan and Becky were there too.
Aunt Mauray lets us play office at her desk.
On Saturday, we went to Bozeman to do our shopping. Tilly kept grabbing Dad's food while he was holding her, so he put her in a Trader Joe's cooler bag on the floor while she was sucking on a straw.

Soccer Games
On Saturday, we all had our first soccer games of the season in Livingston. It was 105 degrees that day...plus no breeze. My favorite position is goalee, so I played goalee for half the game and then I switched out with the other people on my team for the other half. It was so hot, it felt like we were all going to melt. Our team lost 7-0 because there was this guy on the other team who was 20 feet tall (and he played defense the whole game, so we couldn't get past him without being squished). But, we all had a really fun day!
Preston, just after he shot a goal.
Dad (our Coach), Tristan and Alison A. watching from the sidelines.
Goalee, my favorite position!
Alison M. (there are two Alison's on our team) and me.
Me and Mahayla.
Mom says she's a photo snob when it comes to buying the pictures from the professional photographer lady, so she took her own photos of us. :)

The Boys' New Equipment
On Friday, The Meyers family called and invited us to their garage sale up in Mammoth. When we got there, Bennett saw the Honda 3 wheeler that they were selling and talked to Dad about buying it. He eventually asked Mr. Meyer if he could buy it from him for $40. So now we have a three wheeler and a bike that Preston bought from them. They both love their new equipment!!
Bennett on his new 3 wheeler and Preston on his new bike:

Preston loves his new bike!

Fiona also got a new dress for her doll at their garage sale and Tilly likes to sit in Fiona's twin baby stroller!
This is a picture of the boys' collection of weapons: spears (most of them are homemade), num chucks, guns and daggers...
