She was an Angel again.

Our first big snowstorm

Well the backyard is FINALLY covered in snow. We ended up with 10+" last week. And we got more today and they say there is more to come this WHOLE week long. I really don't mind as long as it warms up. IE: stays ABOVE ZERO!

Cool picture of our patio table.

We came , we played.....

But we LOST!

The GRIZ were just out played by the Richmond Spiders.

So Hats off to the new 2008 National Champions...The University of Richmond Spiders.

We THANK YOU Coach Hauck and your staff for one heck of a GREAT football season!

We're proud of you all!

So we'll see you next year...in only 8 months, 2 weeks and 2 days till kickoff!

Up with Montana!

"Twas the night before....

Twas the week before playoffs

And all through the state,

Griz Nation was ready

We knew it’d be great!

First up Texas State and

Griz fans would not worry.

31 to 13 Skinned dem Cats in a hurry.

With a smug attitude The Wildcats came flaunting

Our seismic North End Zone Their players were taunting.

But once was enough And redemption at hand Weber got spanked

Now ain’t vengeance grand

Of the Dukes they all said

“They’re the best in the land,”

Redemption round two Just as we planned.

Special Teams were excited

Showing grit and some gristle

Our defense ignited

And launched the Butte missile.

A pick and a swat

From a corner named Swink

On 4th down and 20

Duke’s hopes he did sink.

Bring on the Spiders ,

The Grizzlies don’t care

We’ve got Chase Reynolds

Who runs like a wild-hare

Mariani , Ferriter

Pfahler and Beaudin

Our feared air attack

Will soon be explodin’!

Now on-Quinn, now on-Horn,

And don’t forget Dow

On Hillesland, on Dyk, Bring it O-line Kapow!

When all are covered with a juke and twist

He carries the rock Our mighty Cole Bergquist.

Too many great players

To name in a poem

But at Finley Stadium

All Grizzlies will roam.

Under Friday night lights

Our fans have a wish

The Grizzlies will find

Some Spiders to squish

We’re ready and willing

And can’t hardly wait

The players, the coaches

This game could be fate.

You’ve practiced, you’ve sweated,

You’ve worked the whole season

The Championship Game

Is the one single reason.

So Santa is here

To offer a toast

To the Montana Grizzlies

The team we love most.

To all of our coaches in this season of light

Merry Grizmas to all And to all a good Brody McKnight!

Up With Montana!

Too true!

From a friend of mine.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day.........a good one.......
God Bless Everyone (NO Exceptions)...........

Hum along if you know the words....

Don't you love the little scotty dogs :-)

Kylie's FIRST Christmas show at Church

Please excuse the quality but you get the idea. Kylie was an Angel(and the CUTEST one there I might add!)she is front row left. And she seem to have more fun (or maybe difficulty) getting her flashlight shining in the correct direction (on the sheep). Enjoy!
