Maaika turns 30

Poker, Bingo & Blackjack was enjoyed by all!!

32 days till the wedding?? Wow...time is flying by.

So here is what I know.

Arriving April 2nd in Vegas on Allegiant Air. 

Staying through Sunday at The Golden Nugget.  Yes it is on Freemont St. Yes I will swim through the tube that goes through a SHARK TANK!!  I am hoping to ride on Speed.

We will be getting married at Viva Las Vegas Weddings outside in a gazebo. We will have dinner & WEDDING CAKE (Dee was worried I wouldn't have a cake) at Binion's Steakhouse.

Here is a picture of my wedding planner...thanks Dee for all your help! And Russ..thanks for coming even though we don't know you that well. I am sure we will get to know each other very well in VeGaS!!

Trent is the assistant wedding planner. Thanks to the best brother in the world for all your hard work. Wow....he has stepped up to the plate & has done some awesome research! Even though he is staying at Golden Gate Hotel & Casino

which claims to have the best tail in Vegas, we will let him swim with us!

I hope you get a haircut for the wedding :)

I am in trouble

We went ice fishing at Dead Man's Basin & I caught 2 fish...the only fish that we caught that day. I just don't know how I do it but I outfished Shane again. He has taught me a lot about fishing mostly river though but I think he has taught me a little too well. Now I outfish him all the time. Not all the time when we fish the rivers but lake fishing...look out!! The mountain pictures were taken on the way to Cooney Dam. I just loved the pink sky and the snow capped mountains. Breathtaking! 

I love Gladys. WOW..this is funny! I love elderly people..so honest & sweet.

Random thoughts

So you are back reading my blog. It hasn't been too exciting here. Just enjoying the 60 degree weather though it will be changing Thurs night...back to a low of 12 degrees with a 60% chance of snow & Friday with a high of 19. So enjoy the sunshine today!

We have been ice fishing the past couple of weekends. The weather has been beautiful. I even got sunburned..a sunburn in MT in Jan?? I know...CRAZY. We are planning on going again this weekend so we will probably freeze to death but if we catch fish, it will be worth it. We haven't caught a fish yet ice fishing so I will be sure to post pictures when that happens.

We purchased our plane tickets & room reservations for VEGAS BABY! So let the planning begin.

So I am saving boxes to move..yet again..but it will be worth it. I love Shane so much and we both are so ready to tie the knot. We both are a bit nervous but are very excited. There are about 25 people that will be there for our wedding and I am so blessed to have so many friends and family that want to share in our special day. We will have a reception in Montana later so those who couldn't make it to Vegas can celebrate with us then.

Happy Birthday KENNY!!

Keri had a suprise party for Kenny at the Bear Trap in Worden. It was a blast!

Happy New Year

We started off New Year's Eve at my parents house with a seafood dinner. We had mussels, salmon, halibut (Thanks Aunt Jean for the recipe), shrimp & crab legs. It was delicious!! Then we headed to the K-Bar for some dancing & singing. Fun times were had by all.

Merry Christmas

Well I just got my pics off my new phone (thanks Shane :) for the awesome present! So here are pics from Christmas day and that weekend.

Ice scating at Mammoth Hot Springs. Thank goodness Shane wore a helmet!

My neices...aren't they adorable?
