"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

The Last Night of the Reunion

The Pohleys (Judy's sister and family) invited us over to their house for our last night in Montana. They have a beautiful log home (as seen in picture below) on 13 acres of land. Yes, so ideal. They got out their shotguns to let us try some skeet shooting.

Jared was the only one to hit the clay pigeon with the difficult shotgun. Jay (Dave's uncle) got out the easier shotgun so the other brothers could have a chance to feel good about themselves. :)

What a man. All he needs is a truck and a dog.

I got one!! I was so excited to hit a pigeon. I actually enjoyed shooting a whole lot. (By the way, to anyone that thinks I am not showing...click on this picture to see the full size image and look at my belly. Then try to tell me to my face that that is how I normally look. I better not! However, I think it's a cute little belly.)

Taylor could barely hold the gun up.

A little boy's dream! But no, we didn't let them actually shoot the shotgun.

Later, the Pohleys let us take their two atvs out for a ride. SO MUCH FUN! It brought back all sorts of memories of riding with my dad and brothers. I took Derek and Dave had Taylor on his 4 wheeler. Derek kept yelling, "I'm like Lightning McQueen!! I'm getting bugs in my teeth!!" or "go faster Mommy!" It was a fun night to end a fun reunion. I am so grateful that the boys were feeling well enough to enjoy the last of the activities. I can't wait for the next Brock adventure.

That is a cute tiny belly! And I am with Laurel, that sticking out the tummy does lend to the look. So are you going to find out if it is a boy or a girl??? How soon??? When do you want to get together and play??? I guess the kids could come too. :)
