Bozeman Fun!

Today was a very productive day for the Bird family! We left the house this morning to watch maddie at her swim lessons, took care of some housing issues, watched our stuff being packed and inventoried, took my little brother to play basketball with the MSU Bobcat basketball team (men&women), and went on a little date to pita pit! we had such a fun day and really do miss Montana...just not the snow!! Hear are a few pics of the fun day we had...


Sorry these two pic are blurry they were taken on my phone and action shots on my phone are not the best. These two pics are from practice on tues night not from the bobcat practice. Its 10 at night and i really don't feel like running out in the cold and grabbing my camera!



LOVE BIRDS!!

MMMHHHHMM sooo sooo gooooooooddddd!!!!

Maddie and Em at swim lessons!!! We had such a fun time watching her learn how to swim! We love you maddie!!

SNOW =(

Matt and I came back to Montana to visit my family and pick up our stuff to get ready for the big move down to Texas! We are hear until the end of November and are having a fun visit! We are getting excited for Calvin (my lil sis's hubby) to come visit! In the mean time Matt and i have been playing with our niece Madison, hanging out with my brother and sister, eating out at the local restaurants, and Matt is doing some recruiting! The only down side is it snowed. Not just a little snow a LOT of snow!! I am usually sooooo sooo excited for the snow because those of you who know me means a lot of hiking up forbidden trails and skiing the worlds best mountains in Montana! I love skiing and everything that comes along with it! For some reason this year I am very bitter about the snow!! I hate the whole having to waste gas warming up your car, your toes being frozen all the time, the bottom of your jeans constantly always being wet, scraping off your car and in the meantime you freeze in the cold, and just everything else! I know most of you are thinking I'm crazy right about now but when you live in a state that only sees sun 3 months out of the year you would understand! Well that's all the complaining I will do for now..hehe In the meantime I'm having such a fun time hanging out with family and friends and trying to keep warm!!!
I know it does not look like a lot of snow on the ground but trust me there is a ton!

LOL!! one of the last times we will have to scrape the snow off are car every single day!! Husbands are truly the best!

OK so i know this pic is hard to see but its matt making an asain face...lol I dont know why but im going with we were out on a date at daves sushi and since sushi is like asain he decided to make an asain face?...lol Alls i can say is i love him!!

Me at daves sushi!!! MMMHHHMM such a good place!!

Fun in the Fall

Chelsea, Payson, and I went to an apple orchard today and had a blast. Chelsea had to pick some apples for an enrichment activity. We had so much fun picking the apples and hearing payson say "apples" It was seriously the sweetest thing I have ever herd. After the Apple orchard we decided to go explore the royal gorge bridge. We had a blast on the way up we discovered that there was a train for kids that took you up to a sight you could see the bridge. The train ride was so much fun and view was amazing! It was such a fun day and so beautiful out!






How could you not love this guy?






So happy for the train ride!










Ok just so everyone knows how brave we wear there were no seat belts on the train and no doors or side railings! This view is from the train as you can see not very far from the edge!


On the way up to the bridge we spotted some deer! We laughed as we were taking pictures because we were totally acting like we had never seen deer before!

One weekend we were hanging out with our friends Randy and Cierra and it was so beautiful outside so I suggested we go for a walk to the water fall. Well I call it chocolate falls because the water reminds me of willy wonka and the chocolate factory so it makes me laugh. We miss them both very much and wish them good luck in Japan!

Wichita

A day with the hubby!

Before Matt left for Arkansass he said he would love to just spend the day hanging out and then go on a date later that night. I was so excited to have fun with him and no distractions. So we decided to lay in bed all morning just laughing and then went out for a walk later that afternoon. Then we decided to go and eat at a chines buffet and it was soooo delicious!!



I was so excited for the buffet!


Ok so before matt and I went to go eat dinner i was trying to get a good picture of us and put my camera case between the windshield wiper and the windshield. Well when matt went to jump on the freeway it blew off so we had to make a U-turn and get it! Sorry baby but it we did get a good chuckel!

A cute town called Abilene

This weekend Matt and I decided to take a little drive down to Abilene. We wanted to check out housing on and off base and check out the town! I fell in love with the town and absolutely love the Air Force base! Its so cute and very nice. We checked out some housing off base because the lady at the housing office before we went down told us the waiting list was 2-3months! We went to a place called Quail Hallow and it was very nice! We then took a drive on base and to our surprise the housing was AMAZING!!! Matt and I decided that we will live in temporary housing for a month if we have to so we can live on base!!


This is the front of it and on the right is the garage...if you look at the picture below you can tell


This home was our number one choice because it had the best floor plan. Plus we loved the neighborhood and just thought that they were really cute!


Now I know you are all thinking why is this not your first choice...well it is a way nice house and everything but this one is not very likely because they try and save the houses for people of Matt's rank who have been in longer but she said that's all they had available at the moment so its could be a possibility.


This one came in 3rd but seriously we would not mind it at all!

We love Dyess Air Force base sooo much and cant wait to move down and have a little space of our own! Abilene was such an adorable town and we cant wait to explore and see what it has to offer!!
