So I was visiting one of my favorite blogs "This Week For Dinner" and came across this great idea...The Gratitude Challenge. World Gratitude Day is September 21st. Its so easy sometimes to focus on the things we resent or want to be different in our lives...and then we lose sight of the things that we should be so grateful for. I'm going to try this 21 day challenge...stay tuned to see how it goes!

The Girls....
My mom came up to our house this weekend and took several pictures of the girls. Its so hard to get them to hold still AND look at the camera. But, she did manage to get a couple of good pictures....Thanks so much Mom!

Labor Day at My Parents' Property
Grandpa made a tree swing down at his property for "his three girls"...and they finally got to try it out. Riley loved it, and Sydney even gave it a try. They had such a blast that afternoon w/ their cousin and the rest of the family. Don't ask me why my oldest child is in a swim diaper & my youngest one is in big girl panties & somehow my niece always manages to be fully clothed! Is this a bad sign?
Labor Day 2009
"We did a lot of fun stuff today mom"...this is what Riley said. They went four-wheeling, they rode the tree swing, we had a picnic, and last but not least...they went out in the pond on an intertube w/ dad. It was a great day, and a fun time for the girls.

FLOWER POWER!
Riley loves to pick flowers around the house, most of them just wildflowers...she has a knack for finding them, as you can see. She insisted that she needed to take a picture of Sydney & me, so I told her I would put it on our blog, so everyone could see how good she is at taking photos. The flowers are sitting in our kitchen now...
Up in The Hills of Meeteetse....
The girls & I went with Armand to try to help him find an antelope in his area outside of Meeteetse. Mostly we just enjoyed the drive, and the scenery that surrounds the area! It was fun to hang out with dad for the day!
The scenery, even the cows were colorful!
