a little bit country

i spent thanksgiving this year in montana with my grandparents, parents, and jay & tina's family. we flew into salt lake and stayed for a couple days at jay & tina's, then we loaded ourselves into a suburban-ish car and headed to montana. it was the relaxing trip i needed after a running-all-the-time vacation in florida just a week before that.

{nathan & addie wanted to share their halloween costumes with us}

for something to do at my grandparent's house, all the boys went out to the barn to build a birdhouse for nathan. while the men were discussing the best way to make the birdhouse, nathan wanted to do a photo shoot with me (really, he wanted to!).

{i'm not sure where the look came from, but it's the same face i saw when addie hit nathan and then told him to "take it like a man"}

{addie & nathan pretending to be some type of animal ... i was having a hard time getting a serious picture!}

after the photo shoot, some sword fighting, and a lot of "discovering" in the barn, the boys got down to business and created the birdhouse!

{the finished product (minus paint) and all 4 generations}
