GIRL!

I really didn't have a preference either way, but we're excited to know that we're having a girl!  

Boy OR Girl?

I have an ultrasound on Friday so we should know then if we're having a boy or a girl!  I'll let you know...any guesses??

Dillon

I had last Thursday & Friday off so Owen and I joined Brett and Uncle Don on their hunting trip to Dillon.  I did not hunt by the way... the boys went out for antelope while Owen and I played with Aunt Sandy and Cousin Kyla.  We fed the llamas, went to the Patagonia store (there is not much in Dillon, but yes they do have a great Patagonia outlet), and jumped on the trampoline.  I'm not much for jumping these days, so Owen got in some more trampoline time when Brett got home from hunting.  He was laughs the whole time!  After 2 nights in Dillon, we came home with Brett's antelope.  I'll let you know soon how they taste!    

SNOW!

Missoula was dusted with an inch of two of snow Thursday night making our one week of fall shorter than expected.  Brett and I woke to the man on the radio saying, "...and with the snow on the ground...".  We both jumped out of bed and ran to the window to see our yard covered with fresh snow.  New snow never gets old for me.  I think it brings me back to the rare occasions in Longview when we woke to snow and knew that school would be cancelled, which meant sledding at the Country Club and chili or top ramen for lunch!  School is never cancelled in MT (except one time Brett remembers school being cancelled for freezing rain), but I still love the first snow.  The low today is 7 with a wind chill of 0...That means Owen and I will listen to the Griz game on the radio and won't be going to the homecoming parade.  Brrrrrr!  

Glacier Park (also last month)

We also went camping in Glacier to soak up the last of the warm weather.  

If you haven't been to Glacier-it's beautiful and we would be happy to host anyone that may need a pit stop in Missoula on their way to the park (about 2ish hrs).  OR we may just want to go with you!  This is a little lake we hiked into on the first day.
This is our little camper!  The headband...well, Owen found it while we were packing and wanted to wear it.  He wore it in the car, through his nap, on our hike and while helping with the fire.  Awesome huh?

We stopped a few times on our way home for only very important things...like ham and ice cream.  I was in back with Owen halfway supervising him while he devoured his kiddie cone and also savoring my blizzard.  He was a pretty messy little fella.  As for the ham...as long as Brett has been a part of the Sari fam, my Grandpa (Papa Bill), has raved about Montana Ham and orders them every year from a small town near Flathead Lake.  Living in MT we have not heard anything about the famous ham, but driving along Flathead on our way home the name of a town jumped out at me.  I told Brett that I think it's where the ham comes from, and jokingly I said, "If we see a big sign in this tiny town that says HAM, we have to stop.".  About 1/2 mile later we saw it (the sign in the pic) and pulled over to buy a ham.  Sure enough, after talking to Papa 10 minutes later, it is a Montana ham from Rollins, MT that he loves so much.  That day also happened to be his birthday! 

Weekend in Woodinville

Okay, so this weekend was really last month, but I didn't want to leave out the end of September...

Christy and Cassie=super fun babysitters

Here are some pics of our weekend in Woodinville for Drew & Emily's wedding.  We had a nice visit with Maria, Eric and my parents, and the wedding was beautiful!  Owen had some of the hottest babysitters ever while we all enjoyed the wedding and reception.  Thanks Cassie and Christy!

Tube Day

We recently met with an ENT doc and decided that Owen should get tubes in his ears.  Today was the big day!  We literally rolled him out of bed and were at the surgery center at 6:45 am.  I was crossing my fingers that he slept until we had to leave because he couldn't eat or drink anything as of midnight last night.  He happens to take after me and wants to eat at soon as he rolls out of bed, but we headed straight for the car and he did great.  After viewing the fish in the waiting room (very exciting), we went back and met the wonderful nurses and doctors that did the 5 minute surgery.  They gave him a yummy little drug that made him loopy so he had no problem being taken away from us.  I was just about to find a good article in the waiting room when the doctor came out and said they were done.  He was still a little nutty and having trouble holding his head up when we got to see him, but in no time at all we were home.  We're snuggling and watching movies now and he seems to be himself! 

Here is our little patient in his hospital pjs!
