Beautiful Montana
Here are some pictures of some of the places we have been to in Montana. I am excited for the summer to get here to get out and enjoy this beautiful place some more. Trying to enjoy the winters as much as I can in the mean time.

Years end and new beginnings.
What a blessed year we have had here in the Elkins house. I must say the year 2010 has been prosperous and fun. There of course are always some bumps but nothing major. We have been blessed to be healthy and that in itself is all I want.
Some new adventures we took on were the motorcycles. With the first bike I owned it was a little to large for me, for a beginner bike anyway, and someone who crashes it was not a good fit. Recently though, we purchased a TTR125. It it a small bike. Probably more for an older child/teen. It is something I can control and lift up off the ground and does not weigh 248 pounds like my last bike. Whew. I am hoping for a more confident summer in that department. I WILL be out to tackle those switchbacks!
As for the winter months. I am not a fan. We recently have started the downhill skiing. It is a blast and it does help me to get out and try to enjoy the cold. Thank goodness for the hot tub! We hope to get the girls interested in this sport as well. So far though, Jesse is the risk taker. Sami would rather stay home and watch tv. She doesnt enjoy motorcycles or anything that involves falling or the possibility of getting hurt. I dont really understand this though. I do believe both Justin and I were somewhat of risk takers all our lives, and thoroughly enjoy the outdoorsy stuff. I do understand not wanting to get hurt though. No one likes that ;)
The girls are doing well in school. They both work very hard. Jesse only got one C and the rest A's and B's. Sami will not receive letter grades until the 4th grade. They both struggle with reading but seem to like it and that is half the battle. Work work work!!!
I hope that everyone that reads this has a wonderful 2011. That you are all blessed with health and wealth and hopefully a prosperous enonomy as well.
God Bless!
