Ohh Happy Devils day...hee hee

Don't Ask Why I am making this face...

Yes, my friend is a mankey...

Halloween out here in Whitefish Montana is just as exciting with 1/2 of the people. Yet, everybody dresses up. My friend Michelle and I decided to be Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble. I tried and tried to talk Scott into being Barney but to no avail. There are literally lines to enter some parties around the block. Places packed as full as fireman will let them be. Its crazy. Although I do miss my families usual halloween party. Here are a couple pictures from work. Happy Halloween Everyone!

Wow what slackers we have been...

not...really. What have we been up to lately. Bought a house, opened my cafe, had visitors, had more visitors, hiking, rafting, more working, hiking, rafting, and more visitors, closed my cafe, became new accountant at Wasabi Sushi Bar, saw a moose too close for comfort, got wood to stay warm this winter and most important we forgot to download our pictures before a lovely person stole are camera. Moral of the story, fun times $$$$, more fun times $$$$, backing up your camera......Priceless.

Forever Grateful

This last weekend we drove to the gorge in Washington to see The Dead, the Allman Brothers and the Doobie Brothers. We went with our best friends Toni & Scott and their two little ones. We all had a blast.

We laughed and played,

Set up camp with 20,000 other folks,

Got really excited to hear all the great music,

Played with bubbles and danced,

Rocked out, and had a real good time!

So in the end there was nothing left to do but SMILE SMILE SMILE!

What have we been up to?

O.K O.K we admit we have not been blogging. All is well here in beautiful Montana while we anxiously await spring and summer to arrive. Fact: while living in Montana you have 8 months of winter and 4 months of visitors. We are most definitely missing the visitors.

Teresa threw a beach party which really helped out. We had wigs, a really hot room, swimming pool and of course tasty frozen drinks. Everyone had a great time until we went outside to remember,
ITS STILL COLD OUT HERE!


Mondays have become our go big Mondays. Last week we cross country skied 9 miles to a place called Emery bay. The lake is still frozen but held beautiful sights to see. This week we took on a snowshoeing adventure up to a lookout by Stanton. It was horrible, the sight hurt my eyes. I am still recovering from the horrible things I had to look at. I hate this place. I could bore you with more grotesque images but I'll just let you see for yourself.

Winter Wonderland!

Ohh the Snow!?!

So here it is, all mighty Mother Nature coming in at full force showing us just exactly what she is made of........whoa, nelly!?! With that being said our days seemed to be made up of alot of things these day, can anyone say "Where's the shovel?" "I think it is out there somewhere in the snow, do you see it yet?" But with all the hard work also comes the fun part. It's SLEDNECK time..... So last week after all the powder set in with the warmer weather, we all joined forces and made a grueling trek up the North Fork to break out the first go around with the sleds. After 2 hours and 35 miles later we arrived as what is known as the Wurtz Cabin. Undoing the white knuckles from my steering wheel, we checked out our stay for the night. Wow, what a place. This cabin had it all. It slept 14 and had a kitchen in it to cook for at least 50. So needless to say some good ole Elk burgers made it into our belly that evening and it sure was TASTY! But after a long day of driving on sheet ice we busted out the sleds for a little go around in the front yard of the cabin before lighting off some sparklers and heading to bed. Getting in around dark revealed none of the splendor that we woke up to the following morning. Magnificent views of the park and its peaks poked thru the clouds and once again Mother Nature came out to put on a show. Wow, thanks! So after a little breakfast we decided to rally up and get the sleds some action. Being my first time on a sled proved to be challenging but none the less one more outdoor sport now is being added to my list. Thanks, John! But all in all we had a great two days off together and life has been great.
