Happy Birthday Mike!!

Seeing as Mom and Dad no longer realize their children are still around, as they are caught up in their grandchildren, I thought I would remind everyone that today is Mike's birthday. He's the big 33 today, and the only consolation for him on that age is that it was Larry Bird's number. Anyway, hope you had a great day Mike, and you are an awesome older brother!

Flag Football Champ!!

I just thought I would give a shout out to Carter whose Flag Football team just won the 7/8 Division Championship. He was a great quarterback this season and well known for his long bomb. Jerry was a fantastic coach and we had a really fun team. Go Steelers!! :)

HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY BEN!

Today is Benjamin James Wingerter's 29th birthday. He had quite the birthday weekend...visits from Jake, MaryBeth and Nate, a trip to the play off game and just hangin'. We wish we could be there to celebrate with you...but we are sending our love all the way to Dallas!

Love you Ben! and we can't wait to see you in a few weeks...

Mom and Dad

Masters Man

With a break in the birthdays it's a good time to congratulate my old man on getting his Masters Degree. Back in August after a lot of hard work, my dad received his Masters of Science in Financial Services from the American College. My mom thought it would be a good idea to steal Shannon's graduation robe and make him pose and, much to our surprise, he obliged. We're all very proud of you. From the emails that we've sent back and forth at work, the new designation (MSFS) looks great beside your name. Nice work, padre.

New Wells Manor

I went over to Missoula on Friday to play music at Sean Kelly's. It was also a great opportunity to visit Maurika and family. They're all doing well. They've been moving over the last few weeks, and are not quite done with the process. But they are settled into a new place at 339 E. Beckwith (Missoula 59801) just a couple blocks from U of M. It's a nice house on a corner lot. Here's an exterior shot from the street. Congratulations to the Wellses, and best of luck with completing the move!

That Time of Year!

Well, Connie texted and asked if we had drawn names for Christmas yet.  I didn't respond (cuz I didn't see the text - really) so she called tonight.  We decided that we need family input.  Do we want to do families like we have been doing for the cousins and individuals for the siblings and spouses?  So, we will make the decision by the weekend and either draw or not depending on what everyone wants.  I will do a facebook message to all of those with facebook too.  Let me know!
