Hello there. Mike played in a basketball tournament this weekend in Townsend so we headed over Friday night for his game. Saturday morning Mike headed back to Townsend to play again but I stayed in Butte because I had a baby shower to go to so Krystin and I went to that. It was fun to have a girls afternoon and a couple beers. Sunday morning we picked up Aidan and headed back to Townsend again ~ Mike's team took 3rd.
My parents left for Las Vegas Sunday morning and will be back tomorrow night so we're dog sitting Calvin. Barkley really wants to play with Calvin but Calvin wants no part of Barkley and the cat of course doesn't want anything to do with either dog.
Mike and a few buddies are going to Salt Lake on Thursday to watch the Jazz and Lakers game.
We're heading to Dillon Friday night because Mike is playing in the alumni basketball game and then he's going to run in the 5K race on Saturday morning. We'll be back to town after the race because Austin and Aidan are wrestling here for the State tournament and I need to be back to watch them ~ GOODLUCK AUSTIN & AIDAN!!!
Have a great week!

Happy 10th Birthday Austin & Happy Easter!!!

Happy 10th Birthday to Austin and Happy Easter to everyone! Once again, it was a very busy weekend. Friday night we went to dinner at Lydia's with Kelly, Krystin and Leo and it was delicious. Saturday morning, Ashby and I went to Anaconda to meet Carrie, Luke & Addy for an Easter egg hunt at Washoe Park and then headed to the Haufbrau for lunch. Once we got back to Butte, Ashby and I went to the MAC to watch Austin & Aidan wrestle. Austin took first and Aidan took second. Austin's name was in the paper today "Butte big kid Austin Lee rolled through the 103 pound class". They both did awesome and as always I am so proud of them. Saturday night we had my mom & dad and Marc, Ang & the kids over to barbeque hamburgers. We are so excited that it's starting to warm up and we can start barbequing again. After dinner we headed to the War Bonnet for a surprise 40th birthday party for Ross ~ it was a very nice party.
This morning we went to church and then headed to my parents house to watch the kids and the Easter egg hunt. After that we came home and did lots of things around the house ~ inside and outside cleaning. It was so nice to get it all done. We had dinner at my mom and dad's ~ turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing & all the works! We had a great Easter weekend and hope everyone else did too.
Have a great week!

The sun is shining

It is so nice to finally see the sun again and hopefully it's here to stay! We had a fun weekend. Friday night Austin and Aidan spent the night then Saturday morning we dropped them off and picked up Ashby and we headed to Helena to do some shopping & lunch at Chili's. Saturday night we met Kyle & Teran at Metal's for dinner, drinks and the basketball game (unfortunately North Carolina won). It was awesome to see Kyle & Teran ~ it's been way too long since we've hung out with them.

This morning we got up and went to church and now we're just doing things around the house and getting ready for the work week. Weekends go by way too fast.

Hope your week is good!

Barkley & Ashby on our way to Helena.

Happy 4th Birthday Ashby Lynn

It's Wednesday night and I'm finally updating the blog. We had a busy weekend. Mike reffed in the Estes basketball tournament in Anaconda starting Friday morning at 8 and ended Sunday afternoon at 4 ~ he ended up reffing 31 games. He even spent the night at the gym on the floor ~ he will do anything for basketball.
Marcie was in town so it was so exciting to meet Cole ~ he is as beautiful as her other 2 kids. I took Friday afternoon off so we took the kids bowling and then headed to Mansanti's for pizza that night. Saturday morning we took the kids to Fairmont and they sure had a good time swimming and on the slide.
Saturday night my friend Carrie from Missoula came over and we had dinner at the Derby ~ it was delicious. We headed over to Anaconda after dinner to catch a couple basketball games at the Estes. It was a great "girls night" ~ I loved being able to hang out with Carrie. It's been forever since we've had the chance to be together.
Sunday night we had Ashby's birthday party at Silver Bow ~ she looked adorable and had so much fun. She loved all of her presents. T-man had me on the carousel about 5 times in a row ~ I was getting a little dizzy.
We're going to head to Bozeman or Helena on Saturday to make a trip to Costco and a little other shopping. I still need to find some things for our new bathroom. And then of course lunch some where yummy!
Have a great rest of the week.

March Madness

Hello there! We had everyone over tonight to celebrate my mom's birthday. Her birthday was actually last week but everyone's schedules were a little hectic so tonight was the night to celebrate with birthday wishes and basketball. Asbhy's birthday is Tuesday (24th) and she's been wanting a pinata so tonight my mom surprised all the kids with Ashby's princess pinata ~ they had a blast. Ashby's birthday party is going to be next weekend.
We are definitely enjoying March Madness!!! We've been watching basketball for the last 3 days and will definitely be watching again tomorrow. We are jacked that Duke won and advances to the Sweet 16! I'm happy for the Zags big win as well. Wonder who Mike is going to cheer for North Carolina or Gonazaga ~ his 2 least favorite teams play each other!!!
Austin and Aidan wrestled in Boulder today and Austin took first and Aidan took second ~ stud boys from Butte, America!!!
Not too much else going on with us. Just basketball, basketball and more basketball.
Hope the rest of your weekend is good.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hello there. Hope your weekend was good! Boo, Tom & Kelsey spent a couple nights with us and it was great to see them. My mom's birthday was on Friday so we all went to lunch at Metal's to celebrate and then we headed to The Sports Arena to see Mike.
Last night Mike, my mom and I went to the Class AA girls championship game to watch Butte High but unfortunately they weren't able to pull it off.
Today we watched Duke win the ACC championship so that was exciting. Now we're looking forward to all the games starting Thursday!!! March Madness!!!
Austin and Aidan wrestled in a State tournament in Great Falls so Marc and my dad were there with them all weekend. Aidan lost in the championship and then a kid challenged him for 2nd/3rd and he lost that match 12-11 ~ bummer!!! So Aidan ended up with 3rd ~ GOOD JOB AIDAN. Austin went undefeated and is the State Champ!!! GREAT JOB AUSTIN!
Hope everyone has a FUN & SAFE St. Patrick's Day! Mike and I are going to work that day like good kids!!!

Quiet weekend.....

Hello there. It was a pretty quiet weekend for me. Mike was in Whitefish reffing a junior high basketball tournament so it was just Barkley and I hanging out. Friday night I went to dinner with Marc, Ang and Ashby at MacKenzie River then Ashby came home with me and we had a "girls night". Saturday morning Krystin, Ashby and I went to a bridal shower for a cousin of mine who is getting married in June. Saturday night Kelly, Krystin, the boys and I went to the Class A girls basketball championship game which was a blowout. Anaconda won.
This morning I went to church and then watched the Duke/North Carolina game. Unfortunately Duke lost. I have to admit that Mike has turned me in to a Duke fan. I can honestly say that's the only team of his that I would consider cheering for!!!
Kelly, Krystin, the boys and my parents came over for dinner tonight (chicken fajitas). Now I'm just hanging out watching the Gonzaga game and waiting for Mike to get home from Whitefish.
Boo and Tom are going to come to town Thursday night and stay with us for a couple days so that should be lots of fun. Might give me an excuse to take Friday off!
Have a great week!
