On our way out of Rexburg we obviously had to smooch on Graham and get Karie Anne's. Those 2 things will be missed over the break!
My mom and I got there and my dad and Payton were in Great Falls until late Saturday night at the State AM and then Sophie left to go boating so once we got to Billings we were still alone for awhile. We stayed busy running errands, shopping for an anniversary gift for Garrett, made a wreath, and lots of other things. I will cherish this one on one time I have gotten with her!
One of the things on our list of "to do's" was to take Payton's senior pictures. Let's just say I felt very unprepared and unqualified to take them but I thought we could give it a shot! It took all of us to get through the shoot. My dad was there to make him laugh, Sophie held the clothes, and my mom was there to control it all and make him actually do what I wanted. They turned out better than I thought. Here are a few:
Ok, I know they aren't amazing but he's handsome so he made my job a little easier!
My mom and I also spent two of our days in Bozeman watching Payton golf in a tournament. He ended up tying for second. I am always so impressed watching him golf. He can drive the ball SO far and handles things very well! So my mom and I followed both days which was stressful but fun! The tournament was at Bridger Creek and is in the most beautiful place!
We also found some huckleberry ice cream!
So we got back on Thursday evening and then on Friday morning Sophie, my mom and I got up at 5:30 to go see the hot air balloons launch from Amend Park! At first I was kind of regretting being up that early but it ended up being so fun!! We were able to watch them set everything up which was awesome and we ran into Mindy Sauther and her sweet little girls.
Getting this picture was not easy but so worth it! Love these girls so much!
For some reason hot air balloons are so magical and fun! Going to see them reminded me of when I was little and my mom would get us out of bed early in the morning to go see them and we have pictures of me with crazy hair in my dad's shirt that is clearly huge on me, I'm sleepy but so happy! Waking up early really does have it's perks. It was nice to spend time with family, watch the sunrise, and eat strawberry pancakes!
I also love hanging out with my parents! We had a fun night running around town, and my dad really wanted to match me...
I am so grateful for the time I was able to with my family in Billings and for the memories we made! Can't wait to be back, but with Garrett of course.
