Mike's Hall of Fame Weekend......

We headed to Whitefish Friday night and met up with some of Mike's buddies at The Bulldog, had some beers and a really good time. Saturday we went to lunch at The Bulldog with Dave & Kathie and then later that afternoon we headed to the high school for the pre-game Hall of Fame social. Mike and the 3 other inductees were introduced on the basketball court before the game and were each given a very nice plaque. They had a social at the golf course after the game so that was lots of fun meeting many people that I have heard so much about. And then of course after the social we all headed to The Bulldog once again for a few more beers. It was a great time. Congrats to Mike!!! One other neat thing that they announced at the game was that Mike and his brother Pat are the only 2 siblings to be inducted in the Whitefish Hall of Fame. We got up early Sunday morning and were on the road by 7:15 ~ we had to get back in time for the Duke game at noon. We had Marc, Ang & the kids and Kelly, Krystin & the boys over Sunday afternoon for the Superbowl. I was hoping Arizona would come up with the win but oh well ~ it was a great game. And unfortunately we didn't win much money. Just wasn't our season I guess. Ok forgive me now but I just have to brag up 2 of my nephews for just a minute. Austin and Aidan wrestled in a tournament on Saturday in Helena and they both went 3-0 with 3 pins each! I am so proud of them and bummed I missed it. It was actually Aidan's first wrestling tournament of his career so that's pretty impressive to do so well his frist time. He was in wrestling last year and went to every practice but when it came time to the tournaments he didn't want anything to do with them. I can't wait to see him wrestle. Congrats to Austin and Aidan. We are heading to Spokane Thursday afternoon for a long weekend. We haven't seen Boo & Tom since mid-December and that's a LONG time for all of us to not see each other ~ I think the 4 of us have been having major withdrawals from being apart. We're counting down the hours until we see them. Boo & I are going to have a "girls day" on Friday with shopping, lunch and more shopping ~ we will try to boost the economy with our purchases!!! Mike is going to hang out with his sister Maisie & her kids for the day. Then Friday night we're all going to dinner at the Shogun with Maisie and her family ~ we're going to celebrate mine & Mike's birthdays (Mike's birthday is next week ~ Friday the 13th). Uncle Mike and Marlene are coming to Spokane on Friday so we're hoping they will be in town early enough to join us for dinner. Then Saturday we're heading to the Gonzaga game ~ GO ZAGS!!!! I'm sure we will make a day of it with adult beverages before & after the game!!! By the way, Barkley did well on his first trip last weekend to Whitefish and now he'll be heading to Spokane with us this week. He gets to meet his new cousin Monte (Boo & Tom's puppy) ~ hopefully their house will be in one piece when we leave!!! I sure hope Barkley and Monte hit it off because they will be spending lots of time together!!! Have a great week.
