Girls Get Away

Hello there! I had a 4 day work week last week and loved it. If only I had those every week!!! Friday my dad and I did some running around buying a weed eater and getting a few other things for our yard. Unfortunately my dad sprained his ankle working in our back yard :( He was on crutches for the first day but it seems to be fine now.
Stacy, Kris and I left for Idaho Falls late Friday afternoon and did a little shopping when we arrived and then had a fabulous dinner at the Olive Garden (my favorite). Saturday morning we were up and shopping by 10. Kris & I had to get our StarBucks to give us that extra go power! We shopped all day and had so much fun. I didn't seem to find as much as I usually do but it was great to spend time with Stacy & Kris and have a little "girls get away". We had dinner at Texas Road House before we hit the highway and that was very yummy too. Mike sure loved the leftovers that Stacy & I brought him!
Mike left Friday morning to ref in Whitefish all weekend and got home Sunday night.
I did lots of cleaning on Sunday morning then Aidan and I headed to Georgetown for Alyssa's (Marcie's daughter) birthday party. Of course, once we all got up there it down poured so we made the decision to let the kids fish for a little bit and then head back to town and barbeque at Mansanti's. The kids actually ended up fishing in the rain for over an hour but didn't catch anything.
We have quite the weekend ahead of us ~ Roger is coming to town tomorrow until Monday afternoon so we will be very busy with him. NEVER a dull moment when he's around! Mike organized another bus trip to Virginia City to see the Follies so the bus is leaving Saturday afternoon. It should be a ton of fun ~ I can't wait. Austin is also playing in a baseball tournament this weekend so I'm hoping to catch some of his games.
I finally ordered a new camera and it's supposed to be here tomorrow so I will be able to post pictures again. I have been going crazy without a camera.
Happy Father's Day to all you dad's out there.

What happened to summer???

We had snow flurries, lots of rain and very cold weather over the weekend. Friday night I went to dinner with my parents at MacKenzie River and then I headed to an Upper Case Living party at my friend Teran's house. Saturday morning Mike got up bright and early and went fishing at Georgetown. My friend Carrie came over and we went to lunch at Christina's. It was great to see Carrie. My cousin Yvette (from Las Vegas) was in town with her family because her daughter's softball team was supposed to play in a tournament here over the weekend. The tournament was canceled due to weather but luckily some Butte teams felt bad that they traveled all this way so they scrimmaged on Saturday & Sunday in Anaconda. So after lunch at Christina's, Carrie dropped me off in Anaconda on her way to Georgetown and I met up with my dad, Austin and Aidan to watch Jordyn's softball scrimmage. Austin was also supposed to play in a baseball tournament over the weekend and one of the Missoula teams still ended up coming and staying at Fairmont so they played 2 games against them yesterday afternoon. Austin's team won both games. We also caught one of Jordyn's softball games before heading to Austin's double-header. It definitely is not baseball weather but it was still fun to watch and great to see Yvette and family. Mike went fishing again on Sunday at Georgetown and I bet you can guess what he barbequed himself for dinner last night?!?!? FISH
Last night we watched the NBA basketball game and got ready for the work week.
Mike is heading to Whitefish this weekend to ref a basketball tournament and I'm heading on a girls shopping trip to Idaho Falls with Stacy & Kris and I can hardly wait! SHOP TIL WE DROP!
Have a great week and pray for warm weather!

Lake Pend Oreille

Hello there. We left Thursday afternoon for a long weekend at Pend Oreille. It was a great weekend and the weather couldn't have been better. It was such a long winter that I forgot how awesome it was to soak up the sun. Tom bought a new boat and it is absolutely beautiful ~ now that he has his new boat he doesn't mind boating Boo and I all over the lake to our favorite destinations. Barkley went to the lake with us and he and Monte had so much fun together. Mike commented that Barkley likes the lake more than we do but I don't think it's possible because I LOVE being at the lake. I am counting down the days until we go again especially since it's cold here today and the forecast for the week doesn't look good.
Mike is having a get together Thursday night at Casagranda's for all the volunteers who helped with his basketball tournament.
Austin is playing in a baseball tournament this weekend here in town so we'll be watching his games and other than that just hanging out.
Have a great week.
