Annika and Nick had their new baby boy!!!!!

The cutest baby EVER!!!!
Che (Ch-ay) Vitale (V-eye-ta-lee) was born 8-9-10, 7 lbs 15 oz, 19.5 inches

I get to meet him in 1.5 weeks and I can hardly stand it!

I am SO happy for Annika and Nick!

Fiddler's Picnic

This year we went on Friday because I had a wedding on Saturday - it was really mellow - but still fun to get out for a bit. Ken and Hannah joined us and most of our time was spent laying in the grass being very lazy!!! Dramatic skies made for a lovely backdrop! Always a fun time:) _ I missed my parents being there this year - maybe next year!!!

Jonathan and Dale visited at the end of July and we were so happy they did! It was a very hot weekend in Montana - but we managed to stay pretty cool. We played lots of games, ate out at Pine Creek Cafe, Rib and Chop. Went to Chico for some shuffle board fun with Josh and Jenny, walked around town a few times and drank some yummy margaritas. SUCH a fun fun trip!! Can't wait to have them back again!

Mornings at our house!

You will sometimes find Sevilla and Spooner sleeping close together - mostly you'll just find Spooner on top of me in some way or another. He likes to curl up around my head or lay on my chest - or his new favorite thing is going under the covers between me and Tony - he really is a Spooner:)

Our 9th Anniversary - The Grand in Big Timber

Bison tenderloin and mashed potatoes.


Crazy storm that came through this evening.


He's still my favorite hunky monkey :)!!


On July 21st Tony and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary - crazy how fast time is flying by. We decided to try something new and we went to the Grand in Big Timber - it was really really good - but our old favorite standby of Chico wasn't topped. Maybe next year for our 10th we'll have pictures of us on a beach in Hawaii!!
