company! and GO WYO!

so another crazy week started out in the gillies house!

and if this picture was any indication of the great week we were to have

then you should know it was pretty awesome!

tuesday evening me and mads were able to spend some time together

at a literacy night held by her preschool.

she was stuck to one of her teacher's hips the whole night!

and was just in seventh heaven.

i think she is pretty well liked around there and im super happy that

she likes it there just as well.

wednesday night madyn had a halloween dance party at her 

dance class and she was beyond thrilled to dress up.

and she was pretty excited when her dance teacher was dressed

up as minnie mouse just like her :)

thursday mads had a big day at preschool.

we went over to the university for a field trip at the bug museum.

it was a pretty great morning spending the day with her and her class.

that afternoon when i got home- me and eric had a little date together.

we had some errands to run on campus and had lunch at panda express.

it was the best afternoon that we have had together in a long time.

that afternoon madyn had her first eye doctor appointment.

and she did pretty good considering she was super nervous.

the good news is her eyes are good and healthy

but the bad news is they are right on the boarder and will eventually

need glasses... but hopefully not for another year or so.

friday evening micah, mom and dad made it to laramie!

and saturday we had a ball!

we spent the morning out at the prairie rose for breakfast

and then did the typical laramie experience,

hitting the usual shopping spots.

then we just came home and played cards till around 2.

the toomers were up for the game as well and invited us over to their tailgate party.

after that we headed to the football game against bosie state.

it was a pretty awesome game and we ended up winning by a safety.

it was the first time ever that the University of Wyoming has beaten Bosie.

we broke their undefeated season, and moved to the number 1 spot in the mountain west conference.

all in all it was a pretty great way to end the week.

and needless to say we were all pooped by the time we got back to the house!
