Joan, Chuck, and Lena came to visit us this past weekend from Washington! With only a few days, we didn't get to do much but it was so good to have them over. Since it's so crammed in our tiny apartment, I decided to take the kids to the park at the school that is right down the street. The kids loved that the stroller Carter was in was just their size and could push it down by themselves. It was fun to see the kids playing together at the park and is hard for me to realize that Landon will soon be having recess at playgrounds like the one he played on. He really had a good time playing with his cousin Lena and Carter too!

Seriously? My baby boy is already 10 months old? I need to start planning for his one year old party? Really?
Chris finally got a break from work so we decided to head to Montana this weekend to visit my two sister in laws, Megan and Erin, and their families. It took us about six and a half hours to get there so we only got to spend one full day but it was worth it to see everyone. I wish that all of our families could live in the same state because we have so much fun together. Even though we were only there Friday night, Saturday, and a little bit of Sunday, we had enough time to do lots of fun things. Landon had a BLAST playing with his cousins and all of their cool toys, riding their little kid four wheeler, Megan and I went shopping a bit, Adam made us Elk for dinner, everyone loved on Carter, and just hung out! I can't believe I didn't take more pictures than I did. I will have to bug Megan to send me some.
Carter boy stood for the first time without help this morning. By no means can he pull himself up or anything, I put him in the position, but he could stand long enough to eat a few puffs and enough to get a few pictures. Of course he is leaning on the couch but if you've seen Carter at all, you would know this is a huge improvement. Before he would just bend his legs like for instance, if you held him up to stand while he was on your lap. Hopefully this will make good practice so this guy can strengthen his legs and walk by his 1st birthday!
Since the weather was so nice on Monday, we took Joan, Chuck, and Lena to to Hill Aerospace Museum. We have never been there are we had such a blast. Outside there are probably twenty or more HUGE real life airplanes and helicopters that were just amazing. It's hard to imagine that those things can actually take off and fly-they were HUMONGOUS! The kids loved it and so did the adults. The museum inside was a lot of fun too. I think we may go back again sometime soon. 
One of the great things about this place is that is is totally FREE. They accept donations though so we were sure to put a few dollars in the box when you walk in. The kids liked this a lot.
Carter napped while we were walking around outside woke up just in time for the museum.
Most of the planes had lots of interesting faces and pictures painted on the side.
Carter wearing his "Future Pilot" shirt. I would definately be okay with that! I thought this plane was on that Grandpa Wagner used to work on but it isn't. Looked the same to me!
