Quick but fun weekend in Spokane

Hey there. We arrived Friday night in Spokane and boarded the bus Saturday morning for the Griz game. The Griz won so that always makes the trip a little more fun! We ended up celebrating Saturday night and singing karaoke. Not too much else going on. Hope you have a wonderful week!

We had a blast in Denver....

Marcie's parents picked us up at 3:30 am Thursday morning and we all headed to Belgrade to catch our flight at 6:00. We went to Josh & Marcie's house (which is absolutely beautiful) and unloaded and relaxed for a bit. That afternoon Mike and I met Jann, Sierra, Jimmy & Nikki at the Cherry Creek Mall. We went to dinner at Casa Bonita and Jeff later joined us. The restaurant was a great place for kids to run wild ~ non-stop entertainment.
Friday morning we went to the outlets in Loveland and shopped for a bit. I actually got a start on my Christmas shopping! That afternoon Danise, Marcie and I made cocktail pasties for Krystin's bridal shower that's coming up in a couple weeks. I bet you are wondering how I got the pasties home well Marcie & Josh are driving to Butte tomorrow night so they will bring the pasties with them.
Saturday afternoon we went to the Colorado/Texas football game but unfortunately it was a blowout so needless to say we ended up leaving early.
Sunday was the big game ~ Broncos vs. the Bucs. I was the only one in our group cheering for the Bucs. Josh was able to hook us up with first row seats so it was great. I was hoping to get hooked up with a Bucs sideline pass but that just didn't happen. Anyways, the Broncos won 16-13.
All in all it was a GREAT trip and we can't wait to go back to Denver. We are truly blessed to have such WONDERFUL friends.
We are leaving Friday night after work and heading to Spokane for the weekend. The Griz play Eastern Washington so we need to go cheer them on to victory.
Have a great rest of the week.

Where did September go????

Hello there. Another on the go weekend for us. Friday night we had a barbeque with some of Mike's co-workers. They are a fun bunch of people.
Then Saturday morning, Mike, Aidan and I were on the road for Missoula for another Griz game. My friend Carrie and her family stopped by the tailgate at half time and it was wonderful to see them. Her kids were wearing their Griz jerseys #8 and looked adorable. The Griz kicked a fieldgoal with 5 seconds left to win 38-35. It was exciting to say the least.
Sunday morning we did a bunch of cleaning and chores around the house. Mike and my dad hauled the baby blue bathtub out and all that's left to do is tear out the ceiling then we can start the construction process. Sounds like the new window will get installed this week.
We barbequed steaks and had everyone over for dinner last night. I had baked a cake for dessert and we sang Happy Birthday to Tocher (even though it wasn't his birthday). Just seems like any time we have cake for dessert, one of the kids asks who's birthday it is and Tocher likes to sing Happy Birthday so we just "pretended". Good thing he's too young to expect presents when we sing Happy Birthday to him!!!
Mike is in mourning because both of his football teams (Cowboys & Broncos) lost yesterday.
We are leaving bright and early Thursday morning to fly to Denver to stay with Marcie, Josh & family. Marcie's parents are flying down with us so it should be a great time. We are going to the Texas/Colorado football game Saturday night and then the Bronco/Buccaneer's game on Sunday. GO BUCS!!! (sorry Mike, Marcie & Josh) I can't wait to see Jon Gruden in person!!!
We are also going to see Mike's sister Jann and her family. We haven't seen them since our wedding so we're looking forward to spending time with them.
Have a wonderful week and I'll post pictures next week of our Denver trip.

Homecoming in Missoula & Miner's Baptism

Hello there! We survived our very busy weekend. I had a great time in Missoula shopping, eating out and many hours at the Mo Club (our favorite). The time seemed to fly by and we didn't get as much shopping done as we usually do but we still had fun. Mike enjoyed running in the Homecoming Hustle. It was a very late night Friday night so needless to say the rest of us didn't have the energy to go cheer him on. We did our part by cheering him on before he left the hotel room. The football game was a good one ~ a nail biter but the Griz pulled it out!!! We came home Saturday night after the game.
Miner's baptism was Sunday morning ~ he sure looked handsome! Austin, Aidan, Ashby & Tocher were Father Haffey's assistants. Marc & one of Krystin's friends were Miner's Godparents. After the baptism, Kelly & Krystin had a get together at Gamer's for breakfast. It was all very nice.
The rest of the day was spent watching football. My team, the Packer's played Mike & Aidan's team, the Cowgirls (I mean Cowboys) but unfortunately my team lost! I'm having a hard time cheering for the Packer's since Brett Favre isn't quarterbacking.
Have a wonderful week. By the way, Austin won his little guy football game on Saturday ~ 14-0

Wheels on the bus.......

We had so much fun on our bus trip to the Griz game. The weather was beautiful, the beer was cold and the Griz won ~ doesn't get any better than that!!!

The last picture is with Griz player #8 Rob Schulte ~ our families share a tailgate spot so after the game we were able to get our picture taken with him.

We were a little tired from our fun filled Saturday so needless to say, Sunday was a day of rest and watching football.

It is Homecoming in Missoula this weekend so I'm heading over tomorrow night to meet Boo & Kelsey so we can have a couple "Girls Days" before everyone else gets there. Can't wait to shop til we drop!

We are also going to be celebrating uncle Mike's 60th and Boo's 50th birthdays!!!

Saturday morning Mike is running in the Homecoming Hustle (5k run) ~ the runners will start at the front of the Homecoming parade and at the end of the race, the runners do a lap in the football stadium so that should be pretty cool. We will be at the parade cheering Mike on as he zooms by us ~ GO MIKE GO!!!!

Miner is getting baptized on Sunday morning so once again we have a very busy weekend.

Have a wonderful week.
