Updates

Sorry that I have been neglecting my blog lately. Here's a quick update of what we have been up to this last month and a half.

Lincoln got baptized in Baker the beginning of August. His Godparents are Neil Moore (my sister's husband) and Ashley O'Donnell (my brother's wife).





My brother got married August 7th to Ashley O'Connor. They have been dating since their junior year of high school. We felt like Ashley was already a part of the family. It's nice that it is "official" now! They make their home in Dayton, WY. Ashley is a high school math teacher. Jordan is going to school for his master's degree in education. Matthew was the ring bearer.









Matthew and Lincoln are becoming best buddies. Matthew always talks about when Lincoln can play with him. He can't wait! Matthew is in a gymnastic class now. The recreation department classes will start up again in October. Lincoln is still a great baby. He can sit up pretty well on his own. He rolls like crazy. He has his first cold this week so he's required some extra snuggling.





Matthew competed in his first race the end of August. He did a 1K run. It was so cute. They ran around the football stadium one and a half times and then down the length of the football field. It took him 8:40. Ken said he ran the whole time. He came over to me after and said "Mom, I'm really, really tired. I want some ice cream." Ken and I also did a 10K run that morning. It was my first race back after having Lincoln. I need to cut about 7 minutes off to get back to my race time. I also need to drop the last 10 baby pounds. That weight just seems to want to stay with me. Ughhhhh! I got 2nd in my age group and Ken got 3rd. Keep in mind that he pushed the boys in the jogging stroller the whole 6.2 miles.



The first Montana State University football game was the beginning of September. We have a tailgate spot with some friends. We have had a blast so far. Every family takes a turn cooking for one of the games which is nice. Go Bobcats!!


We got pretty busy once September rolled around. Ken started teaching his ROTC classes. He has two classes Tuesday and Thursday. I think he has enjoyed it so far. I got hired at Montana State University as a group fitness instructor. I teach spinning Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30-6:30. Along with that I am training to teach a Pink Glove Boxing class. I also am filling in for some instructors who have to miss a class. So far I've taught a Legs and Butt class and a Max Core class. We juggle the kids between the two of us.

We made a quick trip to Libby last weekend. Ken and his dad spent Saturday hiking in the Cabinet mountains. Ken's parents are coming next weekend for a football game. The first weekend in October my parents are coming up. We are loving Bozeman and making some great friends!
