Growing

I have been really bad at taking pictures week to week. I will be 25 weeks on tuesday and I have really enjoyed being pregnant so far. Our little boy is growing so fast and getting so strong. It is crazy to think he will be here in 3 1/2 months! We are so excited and can't wait to meet our little baby Rivers.

Boy oh Boy

We got back from Montana on Monday night, and tuesday morning we had our ultrasound. Our baby started out pretty modest but by the end had those legs wide enough we could see it was a boy! We are thrilled and can't wait until he is here!

Montana the State that I Love

We just got back from our annual Foust family reunion. I love going because not only is it almost 30 degrees cooler but the Foust family is amazing. I love that I married in to such a great family. Stu's mom's side is awesome and so is his dad's side. There are usually over 100 people there but the best thing is that everyone is still so close! This year it was the Foust/Bauer family reunion. The Bauers are Stu's grandma's side of the family. They were in charge this year so, instead of going to the ranch we went to Bitterroot Lake and stayed in cabins there. It was so much fun. There was so much to do. There were softball games, volleyball games, a couple of boats and canoes, wake boarding, water Olympics and best of all GREAT food! We were there for three days and then headed up to Glacier Nation Park. It is the most beautiful place I have ever been too. So many great hikes to choose from, a ton of wildlife, and because they have been getting snow into June the run offs were beautiful this year. That made for some amazing waterfalls. There was still snow up on Logan Pass and it was fun to see people hike up and then snowboard down. Yes in the middle of July! I took a picture at 12:48 in the car and the temperature gage was 50 degrees, which later dropped to 48! It was cold but I LOVED it! Then after we stayed a night there for the last three days we went back to the ranch. It was so much fun. There is also so much to do there. Four wheelers, mountain biking, feeding new baby cows, chicks, and pigs. The river was a little too high this year for just a float trip but we had canoes to ride in. We also went to the National Bison range and an Amish Auction. It turned out to be a lot of fun. They had some great furniture, and quilts they auctioned off. They also had really good food. Their homemade ice cream maker was powered by an old John Deer tractor and a Mountain Dew pop can. It was so cool. We had such a great time up there and can't wait until next summer! picnic at the Flathead Lake

The dog in the picture is Diesel the ranch dog, he follows you around ever where... that is why he is in our picture.
Poor baby cow! It just wanted to eat, it seemed a little upset even if Stu wasn't really sitting on him.

This little guy is eating some apple we gave him. He was all over our shoes and hands. He very friendly and so cute!

Fresh mountain water to drink!


The run off was so awesome this year!

Stu's award was hilarious! This was awarded at the Water Olympics. I didn't get a picture of him dressed up but it was a ugliest diver contest and he won because of his outfit.
Just Stu's dad's siblings and their kids. We were even missing about ten people!

Couture Lane

I am so excited and proud to show off our new Studio Salon. It is called Couture Lane, and it is located in L'mage Studios. About a month and a half ago 4 other girls that I work with and myself all decided to go out on our own and be our own boss. We are loving it! Besides marrying Stu this is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I work with some of my greatest friends and I love being able to do my own thing. I have loved every minute of being here. It is so much fun working with great people, meeting new people and best of all its drama free! Melanie and her sister Jenn decorated our room. They did an amazing job. The pictures don't do it justice, plus they have added a few more cute elements to it.

Two years

Stu and I had our two year anniversary on the 18th of May. We went and had a yummy dinner at Out Back and then went to "grandpa's" house to ride a couple of horses. I had been telling Stu how excited I was for Montana to get on a horse and he surprised me a little early and set this up. Stu is great at surprises. Last year we did a super fun camping trip to Sedona for our anniversary. After we went and rode horses we went and had yogurt berry! It is my favorite dessert place. It is so refreshing! Thanks Stu for these past two years, they have been great!

Its a ... baby!

We have been so busy with so many changes. We are moving out of Dave and Nancy's house on Wednesday. We found a super cute home we are going to rent for the next year while Stu finishes up school. We also have a baby on the way! We are so excited! I'm due December 2nd. Stu and I were able to go get an ultrasound today. It was so cute seeing how much the baby was moving.







My mother in law also got married last weekend! We are so excited for her and Greg. I forgot my camera while I was up there. I was so bummed because Utah was gorgeous. They got sealed in the West Jordan temple. We love love Greg and his family is so great. His sisters and daughter in laws and Ledah's mom did so much work for everything and it was BEAUTIFUL! We are so grateful to have joined families. All of Greg's kids are so great! This is my mother in law and all of her lovely sisters. The only one that is missing is Nancy. Carrie did a great job standing in as her!

Grandpa Foust

I really love old pictures and some of my favorites are of Stu's grandpa Foust. He was such a handsome guy and still is. He is one of the kindest men I know and last year at the ranch we celebrated his 80th birthday party. I couldn't believe how many people showed up. I swear it was the whole town. He has done so much for so many people. I loved hearing all the stories his kids told about him. They had each of the grand kids say one thing they loved about him and that was really cute. It was fun watching him take the kids on rides on the four wheelers, and be so active in work and play. One of my favorite stories of Grandpa Foust is when he was asked when he turned 80 how old he felt, he said, " Besides my knees i feel 34." He was completely serious. He is such a kid at heart and we can't wait to go up to Montana to see him and Alba. We love our grandpa Foust!
