Still here

Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I have been a little busy. My brother turned 40 so we loaded up & went to Gardiner for the festivities. Boy did we have fun! Maaika threw quite the party. About 30 people came to celebrate. Some lasted longer than others but everyone had some boob cake (since Trent is a big boob) HA! Here are a couple of pictures from the night. The picture of Maaika & Trent is from a Glacier trip.

We went to Bozeman for Easter had a fabulous time with family. We even went to dinner at the Oasis in Manhattan. It was amazing! We celebrated our 1 year anniversary and it was nice to spend it with family. We are planning on taking a weekend trip sometime in the near future. Shane will pick the destination.

We headed back up to Gardiner last weekend for the Duck's Unlimited banquet. Again..another fabulous time. We won a Marlin 270 bolt action rifle. RIGHT ON!!

We have been doing a little fishing on the Yellowstone River & Stillwater. Shane is fishing the Bighorn today so I hope he does well & takes me there sometime. Maybe that could be our weekend destination??

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.
