August has once again come and gone and the start of a new school year is here. At least for the kids and teachers, but not for me. Nope, I've taken on the title of homemaker and full time mom, which I don't mind one bit. I'm so happy to have a husband that wants me to stay home and take care of our girl. I would hate to ship her off to a babysitter and miss all of her big firsts. She is just too much fun, but I will miss the paycheck.
Joshua and his mom Heidi, went for the first time.
It was sooooooo cold. Probably in the single digits in Celsius and 45 F. We weren't up there very long before we headed back to the base.
That following week, Myself and a friend cleaned a new construction house, the house Jason has been working on since April. Since I couldn't get a babysitter, because Katelyn can't eat without her mommy, she had to come along. I didn't know how I was going to do it but I managed very well actually. She was a very good girl and would sit in her carrier all morning. Once she started fussing, into the baby bjorn front carrier she went and she would be lulled to sleep by the motions I was making cleaning. In the afternoons, I laid her on the new, soft carpet, once it was installed and she would coo and talk to whoever was around or just to herself. This was the first time she was starting to talk which was so exciting to see. She was so content. I didn't get a picture of her in the empty house like i should have. It was so cute to see her on her back looking up at the fireplace, just talking away.
She also started to pick up her rattles and hold them and bring them to her mouth. What fun she is already. 
Micah helps mommy keep track of the money. You would be surprised at how many people asked if the kids were for sale. They definitly brought the crowds in off the street. They pulled their weight in making the garage sale a success. So that afternoon, we headed to Billings and stopped off at the hunting store Cabelas and spent some of our proceeds.
The first weekend of the month, we had our 3rd wedding of the year. That Sunday, Jason, Katelyn and I packed our friends, Jon, Sheila and Micah into our car for a drive into Crandall and Cooke City, Montana.
The guys were hoping to fish but it was a wet day. They did catch some small trout.
Katelyn had someone to look at as we drove. Sheila and Micah were behind her. Both babies were so good on their first trip up to Cooke City.

They both were on staff when Jason and I were there. Rhonda was in Jason's school and was my room mate when I was on staff. They brought their two kids, Payton and Kaycee. Payton is just a hoot. He has a thing about different people taking him to the bathroom. He looked at Jason and puts his hands out matter of factly and says "You could take me to the bathroom." You can't help but laugh. He did it later to another friend and said, "Hey funny guy, you could take me to the bathroom." They wanted to visit the "ghost town" of Kirwin, so 3 vehicles of trucks packed to the gills with people and kids made the treck Saturday morning.

I didn't think we had much to get rid of since Jason is so good about going through and getting rid of stuff we don't use. Well, it turns out we had more than I thought. I also went around and found books I haven't read but were taking up space and such stuff. We ended up making just over $200!
