Our new view in Montana

We are here and about 85% moved in! Kaylei is loving the place. She spends most of her time outside or chasing the kitten. Troy just finished training so he can now go patrol on his own and work his own hours. I am still trying to find where I fit in this town. There's a math teaching job in the neighboring town which is a 50 mile commute one way and then there's the grocery store. I've been considering how to offer private science lessons to the homeschool kids. I'm not sure how the public school system would take it and if I could make enough money doing it. Our 4Runner is dying fast so I'm going to have to start working to pay for our new vehicle. Any home business ideas that would survive in an itty-bitty town? Here are some pictures from our first week in our new home:

The pronghorn that visits us regularly

Kaylei didn't take a nap this day and was being pretty grouchy. She demanded this picture so I let her hold it while I went to the bathroom. This is what I found when I returned. She totally passed out!

4th of July

We spent our last weekend in Idaho Falls with my family. My mom, Kaylei, and I went to the parade in the morning. It wasn't until the last floats went by that Kaylei learned to hold her hand out for candy! It was pretty cute. We sat near the beginning of the parade route more for convience than anything but Kaylei ended up with TONS of candy. I would through it down for other kids but she still had plenty!

We had a BBQ with my dad, mom, and brother; then went to the fireworks show. Kaylei enjoyed all of it. Too bad Troy had to work. He spent most of his 4th giving out DUI tickets.
