Trip to Montana

My sister, Mackenzie, graduated from high school this year.  Molly and I made a quick trip up to Montana to see her graduate and join in the fun.  I had to post all these pictures (there is a lot!) but I couldn't leave any out!

Molly and I flew up on Friday and Dede picked us up at the airport in Billings and took us to Glendive.  The first night we were there we went outside and had smores around the fire pit.  So much fun!  There was marshmallow everywhere!  :)

My niece, Katelyn.

Mackenzie and Molly.  Molly was a little scared the whole time we were there that I was going to leave her or something.  But she really attached to Kenzie.

Molly was so funny on this trip.  I took a pair of pajamas that have Barbie on them and Molly wanted to wear them every night.  Then in the morning she didn't want to take them off!  It was a huge ordeal everyday!  Here is a picture of her after I forced her to get dressed...so happy!

Sunday was graduation and we spent the morning before church cutting fruit and Carli was sewing.  She can whip up just about anything with that machine of hers!  So great!

Dede and Kenna cutting honeydew.  I do love my sisters!

My niece, Hannah.  Is she not the cutest little picture poser?

Grandpa kept all the little ones entertained while we worked.  Books, books and more books!

I love this guy!  What a great picture of my dad...so him.

I also got to meet my soon to be sister-in-law.  Caleb and Sarah are getting married in August and we are soooo excited to have Sarah join our family.  She is so much fun...and adorable too!  And that goofy Caleb...what a nerd.

Sarah is so great with all the kids...nice to have a helping hand!

Kenzie and her diploma.  We had great seats and I snapped this out of focus picture as she walked by.  Love it!

Here is the graduate...so beautiful.  We had an open house for her and had a house full of friends and family.  So great to see everyone.

My Uncle Beej and Aunt Jerri have adopted 4 Haitian kids over the last year and this is the littlest.  Donaldson is adorable!  He is a little smaller than Molly but he is four!   Poor little guy!  But he is doing great now that he has joined the Hrubes family and he is such a funny kid.  Caleb was having fun with him here.

My nephew, Dakota and niece, Kayla.  They had to leave on Monday and I snapped a couple pics before they took off.

Madilyn (Dede's), Molly, Mayli (Dede's), Evie (Carli's), Katelyn (Dede's) and Hannah (Carli's).  Can you believe that 6 kids can fit in a bathtub?  Molly wasn't sure that it was very fun so she didn't last long.  That was okay since we pretty much wedged them in there.

Time to say goodbye...so sad to see everyone go.  We left on Tuesday and rode with Caleb and Sarah to Billings where we caught our flight home.  This is only half of us all!  Big families are wonderful!  Thanks mom and dad for putting up with raising us all so we could have so much fun! (Madilyn was not so happy on the floor crying right in front of us.)

Caleb dropped Molly and me in Billings and I had a few hours before my flight left.  I was able to spend a little time with my wonderful friends.  Oh, how I love them!

Me, Lindsey, Terrianne, Molly, Hanna, and Emma (Jase took this picture...he is 4!)

I can't even say how wonderful my trip was.  How lovely to be able to see all my siblings and parents except Sam who is in Canada on his mission!  What a wonderful, busy weekend.  Thanks to all those in Texas that helped out with my big girls that made this possible!
