Late weekend post.

It took me awhile to get this post out, but better late than never right! Here are a few pics from last weekend. It was our first weekend home with Jeff in ten weeks so that was pretty great in itself. We spent a lot of time outside swimming and hanging in the yard. Avery loves her little pool but she also liked to swim with Mom and Dad in the big one.

After all that swimming we got hungry and decided to make a blueberry pie. Avery was very interested in what I was doing and wanted to help out. So I stuck her apron on her and let her go to town. She really liked rolling the dough but I think she liked tasting the blue berries the best.


After the pie making we played so big.
I didn't get a picture of the pie but it was really good! What a helpful little baker.

Humming Bird

Jeff found this little hummingbird today while he was at work. The little guy was trapped in a beaker in thier storage bay. Jeff gave him water and turned his care over to one of the female students at Tech. Hope the little guy makes it.

Ruby Red Slippers

I am a firm believer in "shopping the sales". I have enough clothes to get Avery through next summer, all of which were great bargains . Buying hint (always shop at the end of one season for the next year, you'll save tons of moolay). Most of the time I shop Gymboree and Old Navy, however, only when I have percent off coupons. I hardly ever buy full price and prefer when they have free shipping. I'm getting pretty good at shopping online. So when I received $25 in gym bucks (spend $50 get $25 off of your next $50 purchase) I couldn't help myself, I had to get her these shoes. They're red patent leather. They were originally $34.50, which I would never have spent, but I got $25 off, so with shipping they ended up being $17, that I can stomach. They're a little big right now but when I showed them to Avery she wanted to wear them - she's such a girl. I can't wait to see them with jeans! I'm such a sucker for a deal.

What a Week!

The Kline’s had a pretty interesting last week. It was full of highs and lows. We drove back to Great Falls on Thursday for my Grandma’s funeral, which was lovely but extremely sad. Her burial took place at the Augusta cemetery in a grave right next to my Grandpa. The Augusta cemetery has a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day. Many family and friends showed up and I know Grandma would have liked it.

That afternoon we drove back to Great Falls to participate in Jeff’s cousin Shawna’s rehearsal dinner, which was yummy, and the next day we had a wedding. Jeff walked Shawna down the isle and we both did readings. The wedding was lovely and we had a blast at the reception. Avery danced her little heart out and had a great time playing under the tables with cousin Ryley. She really liked lifting the table cloths up and yelling “HI”. I found it somewhat soothing to have such a happy event follow the funeral. Kind of reminds you that life goes on.Avery and cousin Ryley playing under the table.
