labor day

We have had the most fun Labor Day weekend in Montana! Lindsey and Mike came up from San Diego, Lauren and Ben came up from Salt Lake, and Heidi and Ben and Max are here for a few weeks from Las Vegas while Ben does a rotation with Northwest Montana Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. We spent one beautiful day at the lake, and when it cooled down we shopped and baked (what would a trip to Montana be without some baking and TJ Maxx?)...oh, and I think there was some football on tv throughout the weekend. Reese loved all the attention and making a new buddy who is just her size.
Lauren made a tutu for Reese and she wanted to twirl in it all day long! It even goes with jammies!

Reese is obsessed with the giant bathtub at MommaCat's house and she loves to run around the house wearing just her towel after she gets out of the tub.

And what would Labor Day weekend be without one last trip to Burger Town for a Flathead Monster and huckleberry milkshake before they close for the winter?!
Reese is loving having a constant buddy in Max. She asks for Max as soon as she wakes up in the morning or from a nap, she tries to hold his hand and give him hugs (Max is not a fan of hand holding quite yet and usually tries to push Reese away when she gets in his personal space), and she also tries to boss him around (she is 10 weeks older, after all). But most of the time they spend together is playing peek-a-boo, reading books, playing with Jenga blocks and knocking down everything I build, and playing with their all-time favorite plastic cupcakes! I think Reese might be ready for a sibling!

Who should be the one to tell me, then?

I just said the same thing to Ben as Michael wrote above. Classic.

Reese is very good at helping Max take a bottle and put on his shoes. She will definitely be a great help to you whenever she may have a younger sibling. Max- not so much ready...

I love that we are not the only family who loves to take trips to TJ Maxx in Kalispell. Always full of such great finds that the folks in Kalispell have no need/desire for!
