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!

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
