A Great Weekend




We had such a great weekend-One of my favorite this year! The Carrie Underwood Concert was amazing. We didn't realize how good our seats were until we got there. They were right next to the stage-in reaching distance-It was so fun-especially when she sang-"Paradise City."
Last Thurs we had our annual griz dinner and the kids had a blast-they had never met Tyler Corwin or Chase Reynolds before and so they were way excited-my friend Krista tied up a bunch of Griz blankets and we gave them to them. We had steaks and twice baked potatoes and they were yummy-
The griz game on Saturday was awesome! I went and got our playoff tickets today-My little love stood in line with me for an hour and a half to get our tickets!!! I cannot wait until Sat-but there is a lot of shopping to do before then!!
Sunday was Church-then the kids went to a family friends house to play and Ike and I went on a date to Breakfast at Pauls! That evening we went to see Santa and Laurie Lanes Studio-She takes pictures of the kids with Santa-and 5 x 7's are only $10-When we left there my little man said-thanks for bringing us there mom-!! It was much better than the mall!
I have been making little recipe christmas treat books-This paper is using the PAPER-TREY ink line of paper and I love it! I hope you all have a great week and a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Busy Bag Lady. . .





I go through these "spurts"-sewing, then card-making, then scrapbooking-I probably should add house cleaning in there somewhere-but why it's over-rated anyway right???
These are a few of the bags I have been sewing latley-
Griz have their last big regular season home game against the cats this weekend! It should be a ton of fun! My husband and I are going on a date Friday night-we are going to go to Red Robin for dinner and then the Carrie Underwood Concert after that-It should be a fun weekend! Can't wait-and it is only Monday!

Tis the Season. . .





If I didn't drive my family and friends crazy I would start Christmas stuff in June-well maybe I do start some stuff in June and it gets stuck in the Monica Closet-but I just started bringing it all out and getting ready for the big day-December 25th!
I love Christmas and everything about it. Our kids are at such a fun age-both still love Santa and can hardly wait-though we have to get through both of their birthday's before Christmas-they are really excited for the season.
These are just a few projects I have been working on. The little stand is a photo tree that I found at Pier One on Sale for $10-I made a bunch of simple Christmas cards and ran ribbon all the way up the stand. Someone could send these cards and then display the ones they get on the cute little red clips.
Holiday Treats are cookbooks that I have made.
It was so cute, last night Ike and I were sitting in the kitchen and our little love says while looking over her chocolate milk carton," I figured it out - the chocolate milk comes from the brown cows!!!!" How could you argue with that! The lightbulbs were a flashing and we couldn't rain on her parade.
My hunter men didn't get anything this weekend-bummer-they gave it a good try and will try again this weekend!
I hope you are all enjoying the end of the Fall-Winter is soon approaching in these parts anyhow! Have a super week!

Does anyone need a good dentist????




Ike threatened me with my life with this picture but I just could not resist-It was so fuuny-when he had his Billy Bob Teeth in and goofy glasses-He looks like a great dentist right? Especially for kids- Actually he just won an award a while back for the Missoula Independent's Dentist of the Year for Missoula-so we are all really proud of him and our great staff!
We have been so busy with Halloween Parties and Football Games-I am sorry I haven't been very good at blogging!!! I hope you are all having a great week!
