Missing my Donny!

Donny has been in Manila for 6 weeks now. I wish I could say it doesn't seem like it's been that long, but I can't, because it has felt much much longer! I don't want to get to sappy or anything, but I don't know what we were thinking being apart for 8 weeks! I miss him like crazy. So, because I've been thinking about him non-stop, I thought I would do a post for him. I was looking at past pictures of us and wanted to post just a few pictures over the last 4 years. We have the best time when we are together. I can't wait for him to get home! I miss him making me laugh everyday, and so much more. I love you Donny!

Summer Fun!

Dustin graduated. Yay! Doesn't he look nice? I guess this is how they do it in Montana. It's been raining pretty much everyday we've been here, but it cleared up for graduation weekend. It was so nice.

Tate didn't last long. Poor guy it was so hot and graduation was right in the middle of his nap.
Linus is here for a month just for a visit. He also graduated this year. He still has some Bengal pride.

We went down to Utah for a week. We had so much fun visiting family. Maycie had her birthday party while we were there. She turned 2. I can't believe she is getting so big!

The kids love Granddad of course!

Maycie had a mickey mouse clubhouse cake. Kensie made it, she did a great job!
Tate loved the pool. He wanted to get in all by himself. He is so brave and has no fear at all. We had to keep a close watch on him.
Love her! She is really into Mickey Mouse these days, if you can't tell.

Grandpa Greg took the kids on a wagon ride. They loved it. Maycie held tight to her purse the whole way. Tate was standing and feeling the wind on his bald head.
Just chilin reading his paper.
Tate with little Ellie. Notice they have the same binky. That was very confusing for Tate he kept trying to take it from her. He only succeeded once in getting her binky out of her car seat. I noticed he had this pretty little binky clip hanging in front of him. She is so adorable. We are all in love with her.

Tate is a busy, busy boy! He spends most of the day unloading the kitchen drawers and cabinets, chasing Daisy and getting into her food and water, and finding any kind of mischief he can get his hands on.
This is Tate's Montana summer outfit. As you can tell it is still quite chilly here! Brr!!! He looks like he could be a homeless baby begging for food.
We put Dust's ball bag on Tate and he loved it. He wore it around for a least and hour until his foot got all tangled up in the straps. He looked so cute. Kinda like a turtle with a green shell.
Oh no he's doing stairs. I walked out of the kitchen this morning and Tate was already up 3 stairs! As of yesterday he hadn't been interested in tying them. He's all over the place and trying new things everyday.
