Girls Weekend

My friend Em and I decided we needed a girls weekend. I haven't seen her in FOREVER and we needed to get together so we spun the globe and we landed in Miles City, MT... population 8000.

I'm too tired to tell the whole story, so I'll write in detail tomorrow. I couldn't get all the pictures loaded onto my computer either so here are only a few...

enjoy.

Oh, I will tell a quick story from last week... Fuzzybutt ran away, got arrested and thrown in kitty jail. He was there for no more than 6 hours. In those six hours he caught the most vicious kitty cold imaginable. Poor thing, I've never heard a cat cough before... did you know that cats can cough? its gross. Oh and to blow his nose he just blows nasty cat snot all over everything. We got fined $35 for having a cat without a collar or vaccination information.

Girls Road Trip to Montana!!

I came home to a sick little kitty. Poor baby!

No, I'm not standing on him- it kind of looks like I am :) I'm holding him up in the air with my feet... and using my hands to take a picture... um... dont' try this at home.

Aiden's new career option.... just like Mommy

He's takin' a picture of me while I'm taking one of him :) He thought it was hilarious!

Aiden's first picture with a REAL camera... He's got some work to do on his composition, but he's got the "pushing the button to make the light flash" part down very well!

Fathers Day.. Sorry Kevin, you were talking in this pic, but its the only good one of Aiden :) Look at his skinny little body and his big "I just ate" tummy.

ahhhh... 83 degrees! There is hope for the summer yet

Aiden on the way to Art Fest. Kevin picked out the shirt btw, he said, and I quote "Doug will like this shirt, lets get him this one"

Alway running somewhere. I have a hell of a time getting good pictures because he hates the camera and he's always on the move. oh, and notice that ugly gold Honda parked in our driveway?!! Yeah, its our rental car that we've had for a whole month, because the idiots STILL don't have our Jeep fixed!

Devils Run-The Garage.

yeah, not the best angle with all that junk in the way, but there wasn't anywhere else to set the camera down.

hahaha.. 1...2...3... SPONTANEOUS!

How many drinks does it take before karissa doesn't run from the camera?

Devils Run

Fun was had by all! Saturday we all took in the parade. It was a long one, and Aiden kept wanting to run out into the street. He got his first taste of candy, come to think of it, I've never given him anything really even LIKE candy... he could take it or leave it. Saturday night we had a fire pit at Tab and Derek's garage. I haven't had that much fun in a LOOOONG time! I'll post those pics too, eventually.

I also went to Tabs cousin, Melody's Pampered Chef bridal shower, which only encouraged me more to have my own, so Amber and I are planning one. BTW, I'll call ya tomorrow Amber!

Doug's dad, Tom, had us out to his place for a BBQ. Aiden got to run around with Isabella and the other big kids, he had a blast, he thinks he's bigger than they are I think.

On Sunday, we went to the Show and Shine in the park. It felt great to be outside in the WARM sun... this week its been rainy so far. ick.

I work the night audit shift tomorrow night so I'm trying to stay up as late as I can right now (its 3am) so I will sleep late tomorrow and feel rested enough to stay awake all night Thursday. Wish me luck... I'm not sleeping again until Friday night!

Jason has gotten us hooked on "Heroes" if you haven't seen the series, MY GOD you have to rent the first 3 seasons, its awesome! It has caused us many late nights this week. "just one more" and before you know it, its 1am!

Aiden is starting to stir. Have a good Thursday everyone!

Aiden's first taste of Candy, good thing he ddin't really like it!!
mmmmmm... yummy, I think

No thanks, Nana, you finish it!
