A much needed update!!! Finally!
Sorry to all of you faithful followers (all 2 of you) :) It has been a busy summer and I can't believe it is almost fall. I have updated the Blog in three sections ( July, August, and September) and just combined everything to make it easier and get some neat pictures posted. So just scroll on down and see what's new with us this summer!!
September 2009- Yellowstone and Some Exciting News
Earlier in September, we went through Yellowstone National Park for the day with Ben's parents. We went in Sunlight Basin (Chief Joseph Highway) and the Northeast Entrance (Cooke City) and came home through the East Entrance and Cody, Wy.
Here is Heart Mountain, coming into Sunlight Basin
One of the falls we saw along the way

We got a little close to the Buffalo for my liking.
They caused a few "jams"
Yellowstone Lake
Does my stomach look bigger in this picture?
That's because it's hiding something. This is Baby Mahoney at 8.5 weeks back on August 13th. I am 15 weeks now with a due date of March 21st. Exciting stuff! Have been sick and tired. (thus the blog negligence) We are NOT going to find out the gender of the baby. Everything going great so far!

August 2009- Georgetown Lake Vacation
We didn't take any pictures of camp this year when we went "camping" at Georgetown Lake. How funny is that? But, we only had about five days of nice weather while we were there and then it managed to rain, rain, and rain again.
On this day, we went to Phillipsburg- a tradition to go to the candy store and look around.
Ben with Corey, Bradley, and Hailey
So we decided to take an old Historic Tour of Butte and the underground while we were there. This is an old barber shop located under the street- Butte was so crowded, they moved things underground for more space. (At one time that is)
The entrance to the Barber Shop
Old City Hall where the old jail was located in the basement.
It's hard to imagine, this was used up until 1971!
Ben and his dad- with a picture of a great grandpa who died in the line of duty while working for the Butte Police Department.
Under this old building- the elite of Butte came to have a "good time" when prohibition was in effect.
An old "Speakeasy" that was found. The tour guide said that Butte patrons "laughed in the face" of prohibition.
This is a picture of Janet in a historic Butte Hotel- she worked here in the coffee shop when she was younger
What do you do when it rains all day the next day?? And your campsite has a river running through it? You go bowling.
And because your husband begs you to, you stop off in Bozeman on the way home to visit the Grizzly Bear Habitat. ( I should have joked and said these bears went through our campsite)

It rained so bad at the Lake that we had to drive to Butte so we would have something to do. This is what followed us in. And some of us got trapped in the hail!!

Is this not the face of pure mischief???
July 2009- We did a lot of fishing!
The Sunset at Cooney Dam Reservoir- about 20 miles from our house.
These pictures are from The Bighorn Canyon in southern Montana/Northern Wyoming- We went with my cousin's husband and their Daughter, Alyssa.

This is the highest it has been in many years. You have to back down the road to the ramp- It was about 60-75 feet higher than usual.
This is what happens when you forget to put the plug in!!
This is what fishing all day in the sun does to you!
