When we first arrived in Miles City, we spent our time unpacking, setting up utilities, getting to know the area, all the usual things one might do after moving to a new place. The most fun thing about moving here though is getting to spend an infinite amount of time hanging out with my sister and brother in law, and all of Kalei's awesome cousins! Here they are from left to right: (top row) Curtis, Ethan, Jonah, Joshua, Zoe, (2nd row) Loundia, Cora, Tana, (bottom row) Sofie, Maizie, Lily, Jackson.
About 2 weeks after we got here, we had the wonderful opportunity to stay with 7 of the cousins (Cora, Jackson, Sofie, Maizie, Lily, Zoe, and Joshua), while Tana, Curtis, Jonah, Ethan, and Loundia went to Ethiopia to bring home 2 more family members, Beck and Teffy. It was such a blast and an experience we will never forget! These are pictures of some of the fun things we did :)
Cute girly girls at the park
The Olive Garden Breadstick Incident Reenactment of 2008
Maizie and Lily's school science experiment, which everyone got into. I love the look on Cora's face!
The men watching the NBA Finals
All the girls got to decorate (and in Cora's case, snack on) a princess visor, which they were THIRLLED about
The Man from Snowy Beard River
Mom, Dad! Look what I found in my nose! (At least the only medical "issue" that occured under our care was our own kid's... goodness!)
More snow!!!
Mcdonalds breakfast shenanigans
Just be sure to stay away from the YELLOW snow Joshua!
Welcome home, Teffy and Beck!
We sure are lucky to be able to live in the same town with these guys. They are such an awesome family and we have so much fun together!

Your sister/bro-in-law are truly inspirational! I remember back inthe day when they were "thinking" about adopting a child...now look at them. That is so amazing. It would be tons of fun to live so close to such a majority of your family. Man the fun you will all have with all the cousins.
And, hey that is funny that Curtis is in Audiology too! I didn't know anybody else but nat. Cool.
Wow! What a neat family. I love big families. Congrats to you for getting to live by some family . I'm jealous!
It's good to have you back on the blogging scene. Keep up the awesome posts!!!
