NEW YEAR and Montana trip...

New YEARS eve Todd had plans with the young men from church. They made plans to do a New Years Eve party with the boys. So I said...I will have the kids and do my thing...well my mom called me later that morning to talk and said her and my dad were leaving for Montana. They were going to leave later that day...I kinda invited myself. She said we should come!!! So we packed up and left for Montana. BILLINGS Montana...It's about a 24 hour drive. With kids it's like a 2 day drive at least! HA!! We got there...spent some time with my sister Melissa and her kids Ashlee, Parker, Lacey and Shelby. It was a TOTAL BLAST for us! We got to SLED, SHOP, EAT, PLAY GAMES, watch MOVIES, and CHAT!! Ashlee is 23 yrs. old and she plays the piano BEAUTIFULLY!!! Seriously ROCKS!!! She competes and I wanted to share some FUN PLAYING she did for us!

THANKSGIVING, WEDDING and FLU!!!

So Thanksgiving came so fast...we actually had some great stuff happen...
For thanksgiving...we housed some of my sister Heidi's old roomates (6) Amy, Amy, Jessica, Heidi, Kristen and Jenny! We had a great time getting to know one another. Since these are all my SISTERS friends I decided to you know GET TO KNOW THEM too! ;) HA! Oh, I can't forget the Adair family Kaci, Tyson and Ava. They were all so fun! Thanks for coming and staying! Thanks for the LOVE and the gifts you all gave us! So everyone came, helped out with Thanksgiving at my mom's place. I wasn't able to make my side of the family's Thanksgiving, but did go to the Bruer's. I ended up having a HUGE migraine and acidentally took a VICODIN instead of a MOTRIN...OOPS! Yea, I was very LOOPY and felt very GROSS that whole day...But Todd and the kids LOVED EVERY MINUTE of it! HA!

Friday was Heidi's wedding! She LOOKED AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL and she BEAMED from EAR TO EAR! SO PRETTY!!!

We LOVE YOU LOTS!! I know the kids were CRAZY on the drive up!!) That's just them! Sorry!! This is Todd and me having the TIME of our lives! HA! We ate what we wanted and walked everywhere...the card people on the street made me CRAZY!! I don't know if anyone else was annoyed...but... CLICK CLICK!! WOW!!
