3 Months!

Where has the time gone? I still don't feel like a mom, but this is my girl, and what a little dolly!!!

What have we been up to? Well, last Wednesday my doorbell rang and who is standing there? My dad and my mom was in their new SUV! They thought they would take a road trip for their 30th anniversary. What they really wanted to see was their granddaughter. They stayed till Saturday and I think they had a good time. We went to the county fair here in town, and did a little sight seeing. Mom also hit her favorite craft store in Cody and walked away with a new knitting project for Katelyn.

Tuesday night was a special night in Meeteetse at the Cowboys with A Mission base. We had some members of the Thunder School from Nashville, Tennessee stop in on their tour of the west. Our friend, Scott MacLeod, runs the school of worship in Nashville. They contacted Jason for him to set up a place for them to stay and to minister to people in the area. Jason felt that Cody and Powell always get speakers and little Meeteetse is always forgotten. So he felt led to have them go to the Cowboys With A Mission base and minister and worship with people there.
Just as they pulled into the property, a huge rainstorm came rolling through with lots of thunder. How appropriate for the Rolling Thunder tour. It rained all night as we sang and worshipped the Lord. The music was refreshing and the prophetic words people were given were encouraging. With the volume and the echoing of the tin building we were in, I'm sure the whole valley could have heard us. Scott said that what God was doing in the natural, he was doing in the spiritual rhelm. The rain is being brought back to this land of Wyoming where we've been in a drought for years. With this physical rain, He's also going to be bringing for His refreshing "rain", a move of God for this area. Something we've been waiting for.
We finally left there at 11:30pm but we almost didn't want it to stop. They are a truly anointed group of people.

Easy Camping

We took Katelyn out on her first "camping" trip last weekend. I say "camping" trip, because it wasn't really camping. We didn't bring food we had to cook, but we did bring food. We went to the famous Dirty Annie's for some of our meals too. We slept in a one room cabin on a soft, comfortable bed. Not true camping by Wyoming standards, but so nice just the same. Our church had rented 5 cabins for 2 nights in Shell, Wyoming. The elders were needing to get a way to discuss church issues. Plans changed and they didn't need them anymore and couldn't be refunded, so they were trying to give them away to people. Jason and I took one for the two nights and other friends took others for one night. It was nice to get away. Jason could fish with the guys and I could relax in the cabin and sleep with Katelyn, who did amazing by the way. She conked out for a 4 hr nap! Must have been all the fresh air. It was so nice to sit and do nothing but talk with friends. We'll have to go up again with some more friends. The cabins weren't very expensive and nicer than some hotels we've been in.

We didn't take a lot of stuff but the truck was still full. One mid-size suitcase for 3 of us, cooler, stroller, diaper bag, dog and his bowls. Good thing we brought the truck because Jason stopped off at a garage sale and bought a few things he was actually needing for work that would have cost us a lot more money. He's learning to be Mr. Frugal, but he was born with the garage sale bug. You don't mention the word around him or you may be making a sudden, unexpected stop.
After we left Sunday morning, we drove into the Big Horn mountains, which are outside of Shell. We stopped off at the Shell Falls and did the 1/4 mile paved pathway "hike". My kind of hiking. Don't worry, I had a death grip on the handle. She wasn't going anywhere.
Behind Jason in the far distance, there is a small waterfall over his left shoulder.
With all the fresh air we had, we were all pretty tired after doing nothing. Jason wanted to nap with his girl, who was just as tired and a good little trip taker. We even stopped off for her first "taste" of A&W, one of mommy's favorites.

2 month Smiles

I love this face! This is what I get to wake up to every morning and she greets me with the biggest smiles. Especially when it's time to change the all important diaper.


I had to get some 2 month shots of my girl. She is growing so fast. I look at the pictures we do have and I wish I would have taken more new born pics. She has changed so much already.



So many faces from such a little cutie! I could just eat her up!!!!!
