Happy Monday! Our furnace was installed last week and they will come back when our stairs are being done to vent the 2 upstairs rooms & bathroom. Barkley went in to get his stitches removed & groomed on Friday and it didn't seem like anything went right. He somehow managed to get one of his paws caught in the dryer cage after his bath so they it took 3 of them to get his paw out and then they had to give him a pain pill. He had a bump under his tongue they found while cleaning his teeth the week before and the bump is still there so they had to take x-rays ~ luckily it's a couple teeth that are giving him problems so we just need to keep a watch on it. Normally, we go out to dinner on Friday nights but we felt so bad for the day that Barkley had, we didn't want to leave him so we just ordered in pizza.
Saturday morning Mike headed to Kelly & Krystin's to help with the siding and I met Krystin & her mom and we went to the bazaar. We found some cute Halloween decor & a couple cute necklaces. I went back to the bazaar in the afternoon with my mom. We also went to Sherwin Williams and picked up a bunch of paint swatches for Baby B's nursery ~ now I just need to decide on the color. I made it home in time for the Notre Dame game ~ for some reason it went off the air at my parents house so my dad came up and he and I watched it. Once again, it was another nail biter! The Griz won at Sac State so this coming weekend's game is going to be a good one.
Sunday Mike helped at Kelly & Krystin's for a bit & then we watched football all day ~ very nice & relaxing.
I had a dr appt today and passed the glucose test so that's exciting. One of my tests showed slight anemia so I need to start taking a couple iron tablets every day. I'm measuring at 30 weeks so I may be a little farther along than what they were expecting ~ time will tell I guess.
We're heading over to Missoula Saturday morning for the Griz game and will head home right after so I can see the kids in the Halloween costumes.
Have a great week & HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Congratulations to Pat & Kimberly

Mike's brother Pat & his wife had a baby girl this morning ~ Meredith Avery Bauer ~ 5lbs 9oz 20 1/2 inches long. CONGRATULATIONS to them and big sister Jillian.

Friday night Mike & I had a date to Walmart. We bought bottles, formula, diapers, wipes & a few other things to give us a good start on the things that we will need for Baby B. After our shopping adventure, we met Leo at Mackenzie River for some pizza & beer (for the guys). Mike probably needed a drink after our grand total at Walmart!!!
Saturday morning, Kyle & Teran picked us up and we headed to Missoula for the Griz game. The weather was great ~ it was like a heat wave compared to last weekend. The Griz beat Eastern in a very exciting game. We had a great time spending the day with Kyle & Teran. There was a vendor at the game selling Griz dog apparel so we couldn't resist buying Barkley a Griz shirt!
Austin came over when we got home and spent the night. He and Mike got up early Sunday morning and headed to Kelly & Krystin's house to help put up siding. I hung out with Miner for the day.
I got the H1N1 vaccine Monday morning and I'm so relieved to have gotten it. I think my little buddy Aidan might have had the H1N1 virus last week. I haven't seen him in a week and I'm having withdrawls. He did inform me that he only has 2 more days to take medicine then he'll be all better. Hopefully I can hang out with him this weekend.
Our new furnace is being installed tomorrow & Thursday ~ it will be nice to have this project behind us. Nice to be able to mark something off our "to do" check list!
The Griz are playing at Sac State this weekend so we get to stay home! I'm going to the Holiday Bazaar Saturday morning & then finally, planning on picking out paint for Baby B's nursery. Other than that we are going to take advantage of being home for the weekend and relax. Have a great week & stay healthy!

Griz Homecoming Weekend

Mike brought me to Missoula Thursday morning to meet up with Boo. She and I had a great day of shopping and lunch at the Mustard Seed. Unfortunately I didn't get any Christmas shopping as I had planned but I did find Baby B some really cute Griz onesies. We shopped a little on Friday but for the most part, it was a pretty lazy day for me. Mike came over early Saturday morning and ran in the Homecoming Fun Run ~ it was SUPER cold in Missoula. When Mike got done with the race, he had icicles hanging from his stocking cap. Our Cal Poly friends, Bruce & Bill were there for the game so it was nice to see them. GRIZ WON!!! Mike & I came home after the game. Aidan spent the night with us Saturday night. We picked up pizza and watched football. I think I was sleeping in the recliner by 9:00.
Sunday morning we did a bunch of cleaning before the NFL games started. Trish was in town seeing her new niece so I went and visited with her Sunday night for a couple hours.
Monday & Tuesday night Austin had his Little Guy Football jamboree, playing under the lights at East. His team won 2 out of 3 games.
Yesterday my dad had his gallbladder removed and he seems to be recovering well. Barkley also went under the knife yesterday and got neutered ~ he's recovering well too.
The Griz play Eastern on Saturday so we're heading over in the morning with our friends Kyle & Teran ~ I'm looking forward to spending the day with them.
Our new furnace is getting installed next Wednesday & Thursday so it will be nice to have that over & done with.
Hope the rest of your week goes well.

Lazy Weekend

We had a very lazy weekend and loved every minute of it. Friday night we went to dinner at Lydia's with Leo and it was fabulous. Saturday morning we went to Austin's football game and they won again (I can't remember the score). Tocher spent the afternoon with us watching football. My parents came for dinner Saturday night.
Aidan came over on Sunday and spent the day with us watching more football. I did manage to get caught up on laundry and a few other things around the house.
We had everyone over last night for lasagna and Monday night football.
I'm heading to dinner tonight with Stacy & Kris and looking forward to that (as always).
This weekend is Griz homecoming so Mike is going to drive me to Missoula Thursday morning and drop me off. Boo & I have a couple days of "girl stuff" planned with lots of shopping. I'm hoping to get a good start on my Christmas shopping (it is right around the corner ya know). Mike is going to come over on Saturday morning and run in the 5K Homecoming Fun Run which starts right before the parade. The Griz play Cal Poly so our friends Bruce & Bill will be there ~ looking forward to seeing them. We'll head home after the game on Saturday & Sunday will be a day of rest & recovering for me!!! Boo did promise that she would let me rest as long as I consider resting "sitting on a bar stool."
My dad is having his gall bladder taken out next Tuesday & Barkley is getting neutered the same day so I'm hoping they can recover together! Keep them in your thoughts!
Have a great week!
