It was so much fun being with family this last weekend.  Besides Winni's graduation and the hair cuts, the boys were able to go with my Dad  and brother John to the Father's and Son's.  Nate needed to be back to work for Saturday morning so he rode the Fun Bus back to Wendover.  The boys had a blast playing with some old friends from my parents ward from when we lived there and they loved spending time with Papa and John.

Saturday we were taken to see the Croods by Kathryn and we all loved it!  11 of us going to the movie theater and enjoying the movie so much was wonderful.  I also spend most of Saturday playing a new card game with John and Winni.  For 6 hours straight!  I totally made up for it by helping mow my parents law before going to the movie.  It has been over 12 years since I have mowed a lawn.  Nate would never let me, I didn't mow in his pattern.  I made the boys help too and Thad loved it!

I loved spending Friday night as a girl's night while the boys were camping.  Celest, Winni, Mom, Norma and Katy watched Princess movies and painted nails.  I enjoy spending time with my sisters so much!

We just love spending time in Lehi but are always happy to come home.

Twins on the Freeway

Sunday morning, I got a text from my husband, " Just helped deliver twins on I-80".  Shocked I asked him if he was for real and I got this picture in response.

Not only did he help deliver the second baby, he truly feels that if it hadn't been for him and the oxygen tank that he only carries out here in Wendover, that the first baby would not have made it at all.  He got on scene and the baby was purple.  He suctioned the baby's nose and mouth out and put the oxygen up to the baby's face.  Then was able to hand baby over to the Sheriff that was also on scene and help the other trooper deliver the second baby, feet first mind you.  He said it wasn't like anything you would expect and was so grateful to be there and be able to help save a life.

Nate ended up having to go into Salt Lake and doing an interview with the parents and other officers.  KSL is the only channel that has the most accurate article.  You can see it here and watch the video.  The article is more of what happened.  They really talked to Nate quite a bit because he was the first officer on scene but he doesn't do the tv thing to well and the other trooper has more "personality" for the camera. 

I know that we are suppose to be in Wendover for a reason.  Nate being there with his oxygen tank for so many other crashes too.  He has used that tank 4 times since being out here but only once while in Utah county.  My husband is so amazing.  I love him and all that he does and stands for.  What an wonderful person I have married.

Shoes

 What little girl doesn't like shoes.  Katy found a washcloth and decided to wash all her shoes.  She would bring them out, set them on the stool, wash and then line them up.  You can see how many she had already cleaned.  She had more.

Trio of Haircuts

 Nate told me over a month ago that he wanted me to cut my hair.  I was only too happy to oblige.  My mother has been ready for a hair cut also and Winni decided that she couldn't be left out.

AFTER

 I love it!  I love Mom's and Winni just took of layers so her's wasn't as dramatic as ours. 

 Both my Mom and I took off over 12 inches.  I'm going to donate mine. 

Winni Graduates Highschool

My little sister, the last of the Montag's has graduated from Lehi High School 2013.

I am so happy that we were able to work things out to be able to be there to support her in this next step of her life.

Have to have a funny pic.

I'm so proud of Winni and all the hard work that she put into being able to graduate,  getting her grades up, turning in assignments and everything else she had to do these last few weeks.  You are amazing for hanging in there and getting it done!  I sure do love my sister!

Memorial Day in Wendover

We are so lucky to have some amazing neighbors here in Camp Gumbo.  We were able to have a BBQ and then go for a hike to look for some geocaching with the Banks.  We didn't find any but we love hiking and even went up to the Danger Cave that is still an active archeological site. 

 Katy and Bella are the best of friends and the worst of enemies. We are going to be so sad when they move in the next month.  I have loved having Sarah as a friend and motivation for me and am really going to miss her.

Just a few other things

 Walle got a hair cut the same day that Katy did.  He wasn't as happy.  This picture doesn't quite show you how short Nate did it.  The only way I have been getting most of these pictures lately is to have the kids take them.  This is what they got.

 Katy is also eating again.  It has been two months of Poptarts and string cheese.  I wanted proof she is eating a PB & J.

 I have strawberries!  Look at the red one!

 The kids went on my walk with me and we talked about what the summer will be like and the plans that we have.  We went through the "I'm Bored" jar and found which ones will work for us out here.  One of them was to make a blanket fort so they wanted to try it.  It was up long enough for a picture before it started falling in and causing fights.  Oh well, maybe some of the others will work better.
