The Happenings Around Here...

O Christmas Tree! And so the holidays begin! A beautiful noble tree, 1,950 lights, a roommate and best friend...priceless.

AND...

The victory crowd waiting to enter The Coug... The girls...as you can see we're all smiling from ear to ear. Butch! Oh the glory! This was still shining bright the next day. Go Cougs! Renting this RV was the funnest, we hooked up down behind

Sellas and had heat, running water and plenty of beer. It was super cost

efficient and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Babies! Babies! Babies!

My mommy's arms is my favorite place to be.

Is she the cutest or what?!

She's Tanya and Billy's Thanksgiving Baby...welcome Gwen Leeann! I'm so tired! Snug time with auntie Jamie!

Halloween Highlites

Say hello to Siena Mae Pilkington

I had the honor of meeting Siena this evening...she is wonderful! 7lbs, 2oz and a total cutie. The parents are doing pretty okay as well, tired though. Congratulations Corey and Jamie! Sorry the pictures are dark, I turned my flash off as to not upset the wee one.

Jaime Yasenak became Jaime Talia!

So Mike's littest sister got married this Wednesday evening! They got engaged back in January and felt that they would do a casual ceremony and have a party later on. She married a guy named "Mike" (yep, that's right, two Mikes...it's always fun when the two "Mikes" are together) and live in Great Falls, Montana! Congratulations and have soooo much fun in Chico...enjoy those hot springs!



Can't wait to join the fam. in a few months!

Happy Fall...or Winter in Billings, Montana!

I spent this past weekend in Billings, MT and I must say it was quite the adventure. What started off as a nice Fall day shortly ended and the tone was set for the rest of the weekend. As you will see in this first picture there is a light dusting of snow...the rest of the pictures will tell the rest. It was a super great weekend...time doesn't stop in MT when there is snow! Day two...is it ever going to stop? Day three...and it's still snowing. Even the beautiful Fall trees are confused. It looks like something out of Currier and Ives!! Mike assured me October isn't typically a snowy month...shew!

Believe it or not...

Well after 8 months of being engaged and 9 months left to plan a wedding I am finally beginning the search for a wedding dress, starting this weekend. I'm not sure what to expect, nor do I know what I want. I have a few pictures that I like but who knows if they'll look good on me. It's kind of a funny feeling, it seems like such a BIG decision, yet it's just a dress. All you gals that have done this before say "you just know when you've found the right one," so I'm holding on to that.

I'm excited and just a smidge scared! I'll give a report after the weekend. ;)
