Birthday times 3!

August was a way fun month for us.  We have had a reunion with Dustin's family and Archers 2nd birthday.  For the reunion this year we headed up to Missula Montana to a cabin.  It was so very pretty and so fun to be with all of Dustin's family (minus D'laney :( ).  We had volleyball tournements (my arms have bruises to show how awesomes Dustin's sisters are), decorated sugar cookie people like each other, played lots of games including minute to win it, had a polar plunge, had a birthday party for Archer and Destry, and just enjoyed hanging out together.  I'm so grateful that I married into such a wonderful family were I feel so comfortable.

Archer also turned 2 this month (sob sob).  I do not know where the time has flown.  I can't lie I got teary thinking about how fast he is growing.  I don't know what we did before he came into our lives.  He is so smart and observant, and saying he likes cars or anything with wheels would be an understatement.  Everything that we see he asks to touch it and ride it.  He remembers the words to most songs that he hears and sings along with them where ever we are.  He has officially entered the why stage and loves to jump even though he only gets about a 1/2 inch off the ground.  Dustin and I decided this year to simplify since Archer is already super spoiled.  But somehow that didn't happen.  Archer got 3 birthday parties this year, one in Missula with the Killian's, one on his actual birthday with us, and one at my parent's house with the Hall's ( with the amazing cake that Dustin decorated).  He was in birthday heaven.  We walked around at home wearing orange exercise cones on our head singing "happy birthday to Archer" for a week straight.  And we had lots of practise blowing out candles.  He is quite the little boy and I'm so grateful to have him in my life!
