Black Butte Pictures!

Here are some photos from last weekend! We had the BEST time!! Keep in mind... I AM WEARING ZERO MAKE UP!  The only bummer was that it rained on saturday... but when you live in Oregon, you can't really count on any kind of good weather! I cant wait to go back to black butte. I am hoping that we can plan a trip in the winter for when it snows! Or on the fall during an away game for the duckies! Here are the pictures... 

Melissa Kate and I on the porch sporting our AWESOME new sweatshirts...

These were our appetizers the first night... which ended up being dinner because we were NOT hungry after polishing off this spread!

Ryan "Sol- daddy" Solin... and princess kate!! 

Kate trying to steal my nose...

Melissa made S'mores! I can't complain about S'mores 2 weekends in a row!! Yumm!!

Never play monopoly with a couple in which one is an investor and the other a real estate broker... Ryan and Melissa killed me!

Part of a balanced breakfast! 

well... I TRIED to read Kate "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie". She ended up taking the book away after 4 pages and instead tried to eat the book...

That was the weekend!! We had a BLAST!! 

The Winners...

I have picked the lovely lady bloggers that will be the recipients of the "Cherry on Top" Award!!

1. Mrs Whitney Duvall of WITH LOVE from oregon: who is my friend in real life... and one of the 2 bloggers I know in real life... I THINK (I think some people keep their blogging quiet). Rob Mosely... if you are reading this... I don't count you as a blogger because you have to do it for work and I prefer to read you in print in my sports section every morning. :)

2. NYC Island Gal :your blog is precious and I go to NYC for work for 3 weeks a year and the fact you live their year round is something both fabulous and bewildering... not sure a small town gal like me could handle it!!

3. Bater!! The incredible Kate Faux :A sorority sister of mine (yeah Theta!) and the other blogger I know in real life and LOVE! I miss you every day lady and you put the cherry on top of my day with all your hilarious posts!!

4. Relatively Reagen : It's all cupcakes and college football with you... throw some booze in there and we would be kindred spirits...

last but certainly not least...

5. Krysten of After I do's: Cute blog from a pro! She also writes for the Milwaukee Examiner.

So to all of you lovely recipients... claim your lovely prize (ie copy and past the image on your blog), and if you could all be darlings and pass it on to 5 blogs that brighten up your day that would be wonderful... or dont. I mean its really fine either way...

...But enjoy the award!

And everyone else... check out these cutie pie blogs!

I was given an Award!

It is my first award so I am PRETTY excited about it. It was given to me by Lindsey of Lindsey Love... check out her cute blog! It called the "Cherry on Top" award! Now I have the fabulous duty of giving it to 5 other bloggers... I am going to have to think about this one... there are so many to choose from!!!

Back at the Ranch

So I am BACK at Black Butte because I really just can't get enough! :) I came with my friends Ryan and Melissa Solin and they brought their baby, Kate. Who has red hair and is actually the cutest! We went shopping the first morning we were here in Sisters, which is always fun. Lots of cute knick knacks... and of course stopped into sisters bakery... which is actually the most amazing bakery ever (this is a crappy photo... but you get the idea)!!

If you are vacationing in the area or driving through Sisters at any point stop here for something really amazing...

We have been laying by the pool, golfing, and drinking a LOT of wine!! We are here till tomorrow and I know I am going to go through round two of what I like to call... I don't want to leave... therefor I am going to have a tiny 26 year old temper tantrum. It happens whenever I have had a really good time on vacation... Oh well! It means I am having fun right?? 

Melissa just made me a mimosa! So its time to go! :)

                                                                           CHEERS!      

Ahhh... thats much better!

Blog fixed... till I mess with it again... :) 

I am aware my blog looks terrible...

I am aware of how odd that my blog looks right now... There is just a LITTLE too much going on! I got into a bit of trouble with the new "template designer"... and now I need to change it, but I don't have time... sigh...

... I promise to change it soon!

OMG... SO CLOSE!!!
