My mother in law turned 70 years young on Sept. 29th. She had 12 children, now has 14 grandchildren, and been married to the same great man through everything. So this birthday couldn't just slip by without a couple surprises. Two of the best were her sons Johnny & Nick flying in from Texas.
Johnny, Irene, & Nick
mom & I at Irene's next "ladies luncheon" surprise party.
She was surprised again....it was the best!
All they Byrd women who helped make the party such a success. The Montana sister in law's made the trip over which was so great!
Irene, her sister in laws, and some nieces
Irene & her beautiful daughters! Don't I have the prettiest sister in laws?
We also celebrated Stephan's birthday once we got back to MT.
The cake looked good, but it was terrible. I'm not sure what happened, so we went out for ice cream. Happy Birthday babe! Love you!
Hudson & I made the front page of the Daily Interlake paper here in the Flathead Valley. It was freezing, but we still got our pumpkins. We went to this cute place called Sweet Pickins' with their preschool class. Ravenna was sidetracked with the other kids, as Hudson & I did the hard work.

The first time holding his little girl.....clearly multi-tasking.
She weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. & was 19" tall.
So glad I could be there to welcome her to the world! Love you new family of 4! 
We headed down to my alma mater, U of Idaho to support my cousin & watch their first home game in the newly renovated Kibbie Dome. We couldn't pass up a good party on the way so we stopped by WSU to tailgate for a couple hours with the Pool family. 
The Pool family RV and their great tailgating spot.
Awww! The Kibbie Dome, always great to watch a game indoors & out of the cold!
My cousin Robbie coaching the Vandal linebackers.
Nice Hudson!
Vandals won & so did WSU...great day of football in the Palouse!
