We headed to Bozeman the weekend of Sept 25th! We planned to meet Tyler's parents there to make the switch with the boat! Unfortunately we only made it about 2 hours to Williston when the axel/wheel caught on fire on the boat trailer! Luckily the guy that flagged us over had a fire extinguisher in his truck and it was no big deal... but it was about that time when I hopped in the back seat and finally started a movie for the girls! Haha... After a few hour delay in Williston... taking the tire off... trying to find a shop to fix it... etc...  and not to mention we already got a pretty late start due to taking Clara to the doctor for her croupy cough... etc... anyway. no one could fix it, and Tyler's parents were already on their way to Bozeman, the girls were SO excited to see them, and they had already paid for the VRBO house we were staying in... so you know, we ditched the boat at a guy Tyler knew's shop, and headed on! Cafe Rio in Billings made everything better afte...

Coach Tyler, Ruby, Eden, Lucy, Mya, Alyssa, Ashley, Olivia, and Bayleigh We had such a good soccer season! Lucy didn't have the greatest coach last season, so I convinced Tyler to be her coach this year! He was a little nervous to take on these girls, but he was the cutest/best coach ever! Lucy absolutely loved having him, and Clara has convinced him he needs to coach her team next year. His sister Amy gave him the best advice- cartwheels and handstands at time outs. So basically he won over the girls immediately! Haha! We had a good little team too! Since Tyler was the coach we maybe snuck little Ruby onto our team too. Her mom accidentally missed the sign up, so we stuck her on our team and luckily she had a shirt to match! Haha! It was also so much more enjoyable sitting at every game with one of my best friends rather than all alone! Lucy did awesome and even had an awesome goal! She is the cutest and would just get so excited every time she had a good block, or a break ...

We had a great September! We finished moving into our house, got into the swing of things with school, started ballet again, and enjoyed some beautiful weather! We made it to Roosevelt pool a couple more times after school before it closed!  made it to our old apartment pool a couple more times before it got cold!  Celebrated cute Ruby Sue's birthday!  Broke in the backyard!  and the coolest thing ever--- Saw the Northern Lights! We've heard on and off about them being up here, but one night someone posted on facebook that they saw them, so I walked out our front door and BAM! They were so bright and literally dancing across the sky! My mom was here, so she stayed with the sleeping girls while Tyler and I drove out of the city lights to get a better view! We then switched and I took her out to see them. The pictures here are pretty horrible- just from my phone, but it was so so amazing! Bucket list worthy!  We loved having Grandm...
