Update...read all about it.

So here an update TRENT. Yes I got a lecture from my brother about not updating my blog. He is hysterical! So here is another picture of my Dad's moose. Maybe you can see just how big it is from this picture. I will also upload pictures from the Halloween Party at Russ & Dee's. We had a great time. My cheeks still hurt from laughing.
We have been hunting & TJ got his first elk but I didn't get a good picture of it. Shane & I are still trying to get ours. We probably won't hunt again until Thanksgiving weekend.

Moose

So my Dad finally got his moose. He has been hunting for his moose for almost 2 months. And HOLY COW did he get a big one! I wish I could have seen it in person but these pictures will have to do for now. He said he weighs about 1200 pounds! He is getting the head mounted so I am sure that will be quite the sight to see.



We have been antelope hunting. We have seen a lot & have scared a few away but nothing in our freezer yet. They are so fast and if they see us first, they are gone. We will probably go up to Gardiner in 2 weeks to try & get our elk.

Fall has arrived

Okay. So it has been a month since I blogged. I am sorry but I have been busy. Since Montana summers only last a few days.....HA! HA!......we have been trying to camp & fish as much as possible. I took a few extras days off for Labor Day weekend to go the Tongue River. Fishing wasn't the greatest but we had a blast. The weather was great and there were about 20 people in our group. I am not sure about going back there with a group since the rumor is you will have to make reservations to camp there in the near future and camping in a group of 20 will be a chore trying to get spots together. I guess one person could reserve all the spots but I am not sure if this is allowed. The weekend after that we attended Absarokee High School's homecoming game. My niece was in the homecoming court and also cheers. Brit looked amazing! She is so beautiful! She didn't win but she had a great time! My other niece also cheers so it was good to see them & support them. We took the boat & went fishing but didn't catch anything. The next weekend we went to the Columbus football game. They have new bleachers and they are really nice. Then last weekend we went camping with my brother & parents on Hebgan Lake over by West Yellowstone. The mornings were around 31 degrees but during the day we were in shorts. We fished and my Dad & brother went hunting for my Dad's moose. They only saw cow moose & my Dad has a bull permit. So they are hoping to get back up there to hunt. This weekend the Wilmas be coming over to my house for a sleep over. I live 40 miles from Billings so I thought they needed to come see where I live and to just get together. We all are so busy with life that we don't get together as often as we would like to so this is a good weekend that everyone could come. So if I can get my computer to download some pictures I'll post a few from my summer fun. It has been a great summer even though we have hit 100 degrees only a couple of days. So I guess that means we will have a lot of snow this winter. I guess that will make for better ice fishing! I am trying to think positive here! On Tuesday it was 87 degress on on Wednesday it feel into the low 40's. The mountains got some major snowfall so I guess winter is on his way.

Family photos

Just a few pictures David (Angie's brother who is an awesome photographer) took of us around Gardiner. I can't wait to see the rest of them. These are awesome!

Gardiner reception

Reception in Gardiner, Roosevelt Cookout, fish fry...WOW...we had a great time thanks to everyone who helped! It was an awesome weekend & so glad we had so many family & friends to help us celebrate our marriage.

Camping camping camping

This is our new home away from home! I love it & it is so nice. When we were at the Tongue, a few "friends" tried to break it in for us but luckily, they got too tired and went back to their own tents & campers :)

Shocking....just shocking

I know I shouldn't blog about this since I didn't vote but I have been watching and do have an opinion. So here goes. Kris...winning...really? He is okay...when I can understand what he is singing. He is kind of a mumbler singer. But really....clearly Adam is a much better performer/singer. I loved him singing with Kiss! CLASSIC! Danny was and is my favorite but I just knew Adam was going to win. WOW! I am shocked! It was a great season with many suprises. I loved Kara singing last night! That was AWESOME!

2009 Race for the Cure

We went to Helena for Race for the Cure last weekend & had a BLAST! I left work early on Friday so we could get to Helena early, relax, swim & visit with the Wilmas. I was meeting my parents in Bozeman for supper & then my Mom & I would be off. Well my Dad wanted to get home so he ate & left before we were finished. So as my Mom & I were almost finished, I asked my Mom where her bags were. 

Side note: Now you have to understand my Mom. She would be devistated to go somewhere without her curling iron & make up. There would be no borrowing that stuff for her.

She looked at me and said a couple choice words. She tried to my brother in Gardiner. No answer. She tried his girlfriend. No answer. She knew they would be at Kelly's shop. He answered. Gave the phone to Maaika and said, "It sounds important." My Mom asked her to try track down my Dad via the highway so we wouldn't have to go all the way back to Gardiner to get her bags. My Dad, of course, doesn't own a cell phone nor does he know how to use one. So I got on my phone called Town Pump knowing he would stop there for gas. I also knew he would go inside since he pays cash for gas. I told the gal on the phone, "My Dad will be coming in to pay for gas. He has glasses on and a Scheel's hat. Please tell him to wait for us. He has Moms' bags." So we ZOOM and I mean ZOOM to Livingston. No Dad at the Town Pump nor did he leave her bags there. So off we head to Gardiner. Maaika calls at Pray, about 20 minutes south of Livingston. She says, " THE BAGS HAVE BEEN SECURED. THE BAGS HAVE BEEN SECURED." We met her, got the bags and off we went. So we got to Helena about 9pm. We had a great time! It is always good to hang out with the Wilmas. It seems our outings get bigger & bigger. More kidos. More family. It is GREAT!! Then Keri & I headed to Gardiner after the race. So here are a few pictures from our wild adventure. 

This weekend we are off to camp & fish at Tongue River. I cannot wait! I am sure there will be some great pictures to post. Sounds like there might be about 30 people coming!
