Mike's Bday weekend in Bozeman

I had a work event in Bozeman over my birthday weekend, so Kelly joined me for a quick get-a-way.  Oliver and Ruby stayed with Jim and Karen.  I think the kids had a great time and we did as well.

Here is a photo that I received while away...

Not a bad place to spend the day talking shoes...

On Sunday, we took a float trip down the Yellowstone with Rick and Jennifer

Stopping for lunch

We spent an hour on this island in the river having a tasty lunch

Upon returning home, I was surprised with a Mariners cake

Asheville North Carolina Visit

Kelly went to visit Kristy and Seth in Asheville a little while ago and also got to meet 

Sam.  Here are a few photos from her trip.

First s'mores of the summer!

This past weekend we got to experience the first s'mores and fire pit action of the summer...one of many nights out back.

First we made calzones for the family

So tasty and good, but we all can't wait for the s'mores!

Owen and Fiona came over for the good stuff

What...did I miss something on my face?

Go Red Sox!

TBall Season has come to a close, but below are a few more photos of the Red Sox and tball adventures.

Hiking Adventures

Over the past few weekends, we've gone to St Edwards for some awesome hikes.  Here are a few photos from our outdoor adventures.

This past weekend we met the Leptich's for a hike and picnic there.
