Happy Thanksgiving!

Last weekend we were super busy. Friday afternoon Mike, Aidan and I went to Bozeman so I could finish my Christmas shopping ~ woo hoo!!! I even have all my presents wrapped. We had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings when we got to town and then shopped. It was a fun afternoon. Austin & Aidan spent the night Friday night and then Saturday morning Leo came over and he & Mike got started ripping out the closet and wall for the new stairs. They took a break for a bit and we had a mini tailgate party before the Griz/Bobcat game. They worked most of the day catching bits & pieces of the game here & there. It was a very productive day! That night we went to dinner at the Pekin and it was so good! Sunday morning we got up and got everything cleaned up and spent the rest of the day watching football and relaxing.
I had a dr. appt yesterday and everything with Baby B is going well ~ growing, growing & growing. My mom also started painted the nursery yesterday too so that's exciting.
We are having Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house. Mike is going to hunt on Friday since hunting season is coming to a close. I am going to get carpet picked out for the upstairs rooms and I'm hoping the new stairs get started next week. We are running out of time ~ December is definitely going to be one busy month trying to get these projects completed and preparing for Baby B.
The Griz have their first playoff game on Saturday so Mike is going to head over to Missoula with a buddy for the game and I'm going to watch from home. I get to babysit Tocher on Saturday and Austin is playing in a basketball touranment as well so we'll be busy going to his games and watching the Griz.
Kelly & Krystin's one year anniversary is Saturday ~ HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to them.
We hope everyone has a Happy & Safe Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for, especially this little miracle in my belly!

Griz/Bobcat week

Happy Tuesday! Friday night we met Kyle & Teran for dinner at MacKenzie River ~ it was so nice to see them. We always have a good time with them. Saturday morning we headed for Missoula ~ Griz won 38-10. Big Griz game this coming weekend ~ hopefully they can beat the Bobcats! Aidan spent the night with us Saturday night. Sunday morning we got up and went to church and then Aidan and I did some grocery shopping. The Sports Arena is opening back up so Mike met with the new owner and he's going to go back bartending on Fridays (possibly just every other Friday).
I met with the daycare provider last night and checked out the daycare. Our schedule will work for her so I'm super excited about that. Baby B will go to daycare 2 afternoons and all day Thursday. Grandma Pat has offered to take the baby one afternoon and on Fridays which will be a HUGE help. Speaking of Grandma Pat, she hasn't started painting the nursery but plans to get started real soon. She must not be afraid of getting fired!!!
We don't have too much planned for this weekend. Mike might hunt a little bit and I'm hoping to get my Chex Party Mix made and of course we'll be cheering on the Griz!
Have a great week!

Mike got a deer!

Friday afternoon we headed to Helena to pick up Mike's winnings from his fantasy football picks. His picture is on the Montana Lottery website http://www.montanasportsaction.com/article.xsp?aid=341 We had lunch at Chile's and got stocked up on some stuff at Costco that we needed.
Mike got his first deer of the season on Saturday morning. I finally made it to Sherwin Williams and got the paint for Baby B's room. My mom is going to start painting in the next week or so. I also did a little more Christmas shopping on Saturday. My list is getting smaller and smaller!!! Saturday afternoon, we watched the Griz game and it was a nail biter ~ they kicked a field goal with 4 seconds left in the game to win! After the game, we met Shane, Heather, Ross & Leo for dinner at the Derby. Dinner was delicious and it was great seeing everyone.
Sunday was a day of rest and lots of football (of course).
I had a dr's appt yesterday and everything is moving right along. I'm measuring at 32 weeks (still 2 weeks ahead of schedule). I got pre-registered at the hospital and all my paperwork is done for my maternity leave at work. Really makes me realize how soon Baby B is going to be here! The daycare provider had to cancel our appt last week and of course we've been playing phone tag trying to re-schedule!
Busy week ahead ~ Aidan spent the night last night so he and Mike could watch their Broncos. I'm going to dinner tonight with Stacy & Kris and Aidan's spending the night again. Tomorrow night Tocher & Miner are spending the night cuz Kelly & Krystin are going to a concert. Looking forward to all of it. The Griz's last season home game is on Saturday so we'll be heading over to Missoula for that. They should get a playoff game over Thanksgiving weekend but it will just depend on the weather if I'll be making any more games after this weekend.
That's all I have for now.
Have a great week!

It's November already.....

Wow time flies. Baby B is going to be here before we know it! I had a dr. appt last week and I was measuring at 30 weeks which is a couple weeks ahead of schedule (but that's just fine with me). Mike went hunting all day Friday & when he got home we went to dinner at Mackenzie River and then just got things ready for the Griz game on Saturday. We headed over Saturday morning and helped Boo & Tom get the tailgate ready. The pre-game was awesome ~ there was a flag that covered the whole field and then a fly over. Supposedly the flag came from the Superbowl. Mike's parents drove over for the game and it was nice to see them. The Griz played awesome! We were able to see Tocher & Miner in their Halloween costumes when we got home but we missed out on seeing Austin, Aidan & Ashby. Hopefully Marc took pictures. Mike got up early Sunday morning and went hunting again. I took down Halloween decorations got the house clean and then put up my Thanksgiving decorations. Mike was home in time for the kickoff of the NFL games so we had a lazy rest of the day & then headed to my parents house for dinner. I'm taking Friday off & I'm meeting with a daycare provider for Baby B ~ hopefully our schedule will work for them ~ keep your fingers crossed for me! We are going to head to Helena in the afternoon and pick up Mike's fantasy football winnings. He won $700 but has to split it with his brother and a buddy ~ at least he won though! I'm sure we'll have a late lunch at Chile's then I'm hoping to stop at Target & Costco too. I started Christmas shopping and I've got a great start ~ I'm hoping to have it all done in the next couple weeks. Then I can focus on getting everything ready for Baby B's arrival. We don't have much else planned for this weekend ~ relax & watch football (our favorite thing to do). Have a great week.
