Bored readers

...have been complaining about the infrequent posts. Here is one for you. Right this very moment, one Timothy Berndt is arriving in Montana. Yes, it is 11:30 PM, but mistakes may have been made during purchase of the airline ticket where originally it was thought he would be here during the day too. His arrival marks the beginning of Brothers Berndt Debauchery March 2011.

Here are some random pics while we await good stories that are bound to follow from the visit.

After housesitting for a close friend, she thanked me by sending 2 live lobsters and crabmix overnighted from Rhode Island. It was our first time cooking such delightful (and alive) food. It was hard to say goodbye to this KU team spirited duo (note the crimson and blue rubberbands) until I tasted the first bite... Moose and Gus were very intrigued.

Kermit says hello. he tends to stalk me while I am visiting him due to his recent dietary restrictions of being secluded during dinner. He was gaining weight and I couldn't figure out why he was the only one of the three horses getting the same amount. One evening, I stuck around for his entire meal and learned he is a fast eater and also quite adept at bullying the other horses from their food when he is finished. Luckily, eating by himself has already made a noticeable difference. Silly horse.

Snow biking/boarding

First of all, EAT IT PITTSBURGH. EAT CHEESE. LOTS AND LOTS OF CHEESE.

Now that I have that off my chest, what a weekend! The snow is a fallin' in southwest Montana. I had the pleasure of renting a snowbike on Saturday and Sunday was spent snowboarding through waste deep powder. And, on top of that, the PACKERS made me $20. Click on the link above for a short video. Kansas needs taller hills! Then I'll come back!

Belated Holidays

We've definitely been lacking on our posts the past couple of months. As a good friend put it "Get that Berndt Blog updated, i want to follow the lives as they trek through Montana". OK Miles - we're on it!

Over the holidays, we got to see lots of our Kansas peeps. Here are some snapshots of some Xmas family celebrations.

Our niece Syd, now known as Spider Pig!

I'm obviously lacking some pics from the Bennett/Pine Xmas, but I was able to find a nice Couson pic! Too bad everyone except matt looked at a different camera...

New Wheels

We have acquired another 23 year old vehicle. This one, however, runs. I sold the inoperable 1987 Suburban to a couple of gearheads and bought this 1988 Toyota Landcruiser. Now we are truly a Toyota family.

Animal Cruelty

Happy Holidays! Love, Kermit

Study Break

I took a slight respite from the monotonous droll of studying this weekend to drive down to Paradise Valley to shut our cabin down for the winter. Our road had 4 foot snowdrifts, so I had to drive through an adjacent field that had two feet of snow. Luckily I bought chains for my tires and had a shovel with me, cause I got stuck. Anyway, here are a few pics. I saw a herd of at least 200 Elk, a bunch of mule deer, and a fox that Moose scared off. I also took the dogs for a walk along the icy banks of the Yellowstone. Yes, I said "dogs". While everyone else is popping out kids, we're increasing our brood of animals. His name is Gus and he's fitting in well. He's some sort of blue heeler/aussie shepherd mix. You can visit him in K.C. in a couple of weeks.
