What I Did On My Summer Vacation

After woefully neglecting my blog since, oh, April, it seems like November is a nice time to post some summer pictures. So here's a little dose of what the Browning clan did this summer.

Paisley Grew. Alot.

5 months.

6 Months

7 Months

8 Months

Eating some yummy first foods at about 8 months. 

Hadley encouraging Paisley to open her mouth:o)

We Bought a House

Our very own chunk of North Atlantic Street in Dillon, MT. We love our cozy little house!!

Sweet girls on our front step in August. They are 9, 3, 6, and about 7 months.

And we grew a lovely garden.

I felt a little like this lady. But one must be humble here at 6,000 feet of elevation, knowing that frost, hail, deer, and gophers could smite one's garden at any given moment!

 We Went to Clark Canyon

Clark Canyon Reservoir is just south of Dillon. It reminds me of Fort Peck. No trees, just some sweet clover. No shade. Scorching sun. Near complete desolation. Being a flat-lander at heart, I consider this quality recreation.

  We Had Some Birthdays

Guildy turned 9 on June 13th. A tea part was in order. Isaac, Sergei and Lika joined in. The boys were willing to participate, as long as they weren't required to stick out their pinky fingers.

I turned 34....and got pink eye. These pretty girls took me out for ice cream, which made it all feel better:o)

 And....Some Randomness

Always experimenting with alternate fuels, this is Josh pumping used motor oil into the Mercedes.

We hiked up to Palisade Falls near Bozeman.

And Talby and our little friend Dawson hung out:o)
