The main reason we traveled to Montana was to visit family — Mike’s sister Karen, her husband Brad, and their five kids. And the reason they live in Montana is to raise bison. They moved to Montana about four years ago and now work with a ranch to raise bison for food — their...
The cousins live by Flathead Lake and the lake is a huge attraction in terms of fun things to do. A lot of the recreational fun revolves around lake/water activities. Volunteer Park We made a couple of visits to Volunteer Park, which is a beautiful waterfront park on the lake with free swimming. The...
So, if you’re visiting western Montana, sitting at the top of the “must do list” is explore Glacier National Park. The park is HUGE, has miles and miles of trails for hiking, and the views are breathtaking. The NPS website has a neat map that shows all the roads and trails in the park....
We had such a great time on vacation I hardly know where to begin. I’ve got tons of photos and experiences to share, so I’m breaking up the trip details into multiple posts. Be prepared for photo overload! It truly was the trip of a lifetime and we were so lucky blessed to be...
We don’t make a huge deal out of Halloween, but I thought it would be fun to invite some friends over for a low key evening of carving pumpkins and hanging out. I have a tendency to go overboard when I host parties so I tried this time to keep things simple. The guestlist...

Not sure how many years we’ve been doing it now, but it seems to get bigger and better each year. This year we invited Grandad, Aunt Melissa, Uncle Bear and Cousin Owen to...
About two weeks ago, Adam came down with a “touch” of croup. He’d been coughing and had a bad night with the barking cough that led to time in the bathroom with the shower running and a call to the night nurse. Thankfully, his coughing subsided and we avoided a 2am trip to the...
We hosted a pre-Valentine’s dinner party for some friends on Saturday eve. It was 4 couples + 9 kids (all six and under) – I wasn’t sure how crazy it would be, but we had a wonderful eve! The theme was fondue — cheese and chocolate (not at the same time, of course), rounded...
