Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello there. We had a great time in Missoula over the weekend. We went down Friday night after work and met everyone for dinner and drinks at Sean Kelly's. Our friends Bill & Bruce from Cal Poly were in town for the big game so it was fun to see them. I would have to say that I think Saturday was one of uncle Mike's biggest tailgates ~ Griz & Bobcat fans everywhere. My cousin Jimmy plays center for the Bobcats and he received an academic award before the game ~ he has the highest GPA on the team. Congrats to Jimmy ~ what a great achievement!!!
The Griz came out on top 35-3!!! They have a home playoff this weekend against Texas State. GO GRIZ!!!
Marcie and her family are in town for Thanksgiving ~ last night Mike and I took Austin & Aidan bowling with all of Marcie's family and had lots of fun. I used Marcie's camera to take pictures so I will have to post them later.
Kelly & Krystin's BIG day is Friday so we are looking forward to that and can't wait to see everyone. It's going to be a great time.
Hope you have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

GRIZ / Bobcat week

Hello there. Hope your week is off to a good start. Things are very busy with us ~ bathroom remodel, getting ready for the big game this weekend and the wedding is only 9 days away. The bathroom remodel is going lots slower than I would like ~ I was hoping to have it done by Thanksgiving but now my new target date is Christmas ~ ugh!
We are heading over to Missoula Friday night after work. Our friends Bill & Bruce fron Cal Poly are coming to Missoula for the game so we're looking forward to hanging out with them. And Saturday we will cheer the Griz on to victory. We're going to come home after the game so we can do some work on the bathroom and also help with any wedding tasks that need to be done.
My cousin Lexi and her new baby Ivy are coming in for Thanksgiving and will be at the wedding so I can't wait to meet Ivy and Lexi's husband John!!!
Have a great rest of the week.
GO GRIZ beat the Cats!!!

Sorry I haven't posted.....

It's been so long since I've posted that I don't know where to begin. The kids had a great time on Halloween ~ Austin was the Grim Reaper, Aidan was Blue Power Ranger (with muscles), Ashby was a Fairy Princess, Tocher was Julius Caesar and Miner was a Horse. They looked so cute! Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to see Ashby ~ hopefully Marc took lots of pictures. We didn't have many trick or treaters so we've got lots of candy left.
Sad news ~ Trish's dad passed away Friday night. It helps to know he is now free of pain & Trish and family have a new guardian angel watching over them.
Mike and I went to the Griz game Saturday and it was a blow out. They played awesome. Hopefully they will continue their winning streak.
Mike's dad (Dave) & brother (Pat) got to town Saturday night and they were all up bright and early Sunday, Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday to go hunting. Pat shot 2 deer and Dave shot 1. From what I hear Mike shot several times just didn't hit anything!!!
Last night Trish had a birthday party for her oldest son (Garett) at Silver Bow Pizza so Mike, Austin, Aidan, Tocher and I went and had a good time. Trish and her family headed back to Vegas this morning.
This is the first weekend in I don't know how long that we don't have something going on. I have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. I can't wait to just lounge and watch football all weekend.
Kelly and his friends are in Vegas celebrating his Bachelor Party ~ I am sure they are having a great time!!! The wedding is only 3 weeks from today.
Have a great weekend!

Krystin's last night out!!!

Hey there. Hope you had a good weekend and your week is off to a good start. Friday night we just hung out ~ I was trying to rest up for Saturday night!!! Saturday morning I went to the Holiday Bazaar with my mom, Krstyin and Krystin's mom and of course, Tocher and Miner. I didn't find too much just a couple Halloween decorations.
Then my cousins Melissa and Kelsey arrived and we got everything ready for the shower. Krystin's shower was in the afternoon and that turned out to be really nice ~ she got lots of wonderful gifts.
That night we started the bachelorette party at one of Krystin's friend's house and then the bus picked us up around 9:00 and then we bar hopped til 2:00 a.m. All of the bridesmaids wore grey shirts with "Bridesmaid" on them ~ it was a cute idea. Kelsey made 100 jello shots for the bus so you can only imagine how most of us felt on Sunday!!! I will post pictures soon.
Tonight I am heading to dinner with Trish and Tiffany and really looking forward to that. Trish is in town visiting her dad who was diagnosed with cancer ~ please say an extra prayer for him and their family.
Have a good rest of the week and have a Happy Halloween. Our plan is to stay home and hand out candy and then we'll be on the road Saturday morning for Missoula to cheer on the Griz. Mike's dad and brother are coming to town Saturday evening so the guys can go hunting for a few days. I hope ALL the deer have a good hiding spot!!!
Take care!

It's already Monday ~ seems like the weekends fly by. Mike, Aidan and I left bright and early Saturday morning for Missoula. It rained for a bit and then the weather changed and it was a perfect Fall day for a football game. Mike's dad went to the game so it was good to see him. The Griz won 43-7 ~ they were awesome.
Saturday night we had my friend Dani's wedding reception and that was very nice. Austin and Aidan made me dance just about every song. Mike was the smart one and went home early and I of course stayed out til closing time! It was great to see everyone, especially Jory ~ he's so much fun!
This week I am going to be busy getting ready for Krystin's bridal shower and bachelorette party.
Have a wonderful week!

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!
