Shootin' guns and ladies nights!

What an eventful Saturday! I went shooting with John and Amber, and an old friend Patrick, Josie and Jonas came along too. It was a TON of fun! It took a bit to finally find a good place, it wasn't until after John almost took us flyin' down the mountain side that we finally found a good place. The only downside is that it was FREAKIN' FREEZING!! BRRRRRRRR. I think my toes are STILL cold! The AR was fun, and I'm happy to say I at least hit the target :P We called him Ol' Blue lips ;) And can I just say, my hand is STILL a little sore from the handguns... owie. After getting home, Charlotte, Traci and I decided on a much needed ladies night, full of popcorn, Back to the future, man bashing, and chocolate chip mint icecream. Amazing! What more could I ask for? And also, I'd just like to say a quick thanks to my Traci girl for taking pity on my sore booty and haulling up and down those stairs for me! What a good friend!

New years!

This year a ton of us when the the YSA dance(okay... lame I know, but being as I don't drink, and don't party haha, this is what we get) that was actually pretty sweet. We had it at the old OC High School, and there were a TON of people there. Ha, the only mishaps of the night was when I had a hissy fit in front of my closet not being able to fine something to wear, as they asked that we do semi-formal. Gay. And might I also add, whats even MORE gay is that there were a frickin' ton of people there in pants. Ugh! Anyways! It was fun all in all, and it made me thankful for the good friends I have found this year. I think my new years resolution isn't just one thing. Its more, a resolution to get somewhere this year that I haven't been before, weather its a goal, a trip, a relationship, a new friend... anything, just something new. I am happy to say I've found a friend that is more then just a friend, she's more of a sister. So here is to the new year, lets make it a good one!

Its begining to feel a lot like Christmas!!

As Christmas traditions go, today was the day my family and I loaded into the truck and headed out past Redland to get our Christmas tree! This is one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season. Haha, so, the one and only request Todd had, (being the one who had to carry the tree back) was that we don't pick one all the way out on the "North 40"(my mom's slang for really far away, dont' even ASK where that saying came from) and that it wasn't too heavy to load. So we spend about 15 minutes looking for the perfect tree, when out of the corner of my eye, I see the most beautiful tree in the WORLD! The only problem was... it DID happen to be out on the "North 40" and it was HUGE!!! We're talking about 11ft tall and big and fat and perfect as far as Nobles go. It only took me a little coercion on my part I finally got mom to agree on this tree (she's the official tree Nazi... we've NEVER had a tree mom wasn't happy with) Haha.. it only took Todd 20 minutes to saw through this fatty of a tree trunk, and then While he went and got the truck, Wendy and I drug it about 50ft, and MAN THAT SUCKER WAS HEAVY! HOLY KATZ!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures, and are enjoying this Christmas season!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Seriously, what more could you ask for then good food, good company and a great nap? This year was a little more low-key than most Thanksgiving's that I've had. We only had Brelan, Lacie and Ryder as far as my siblings. Also we had Lena, Gary and their bunch, as well as my Uncle Bobby and Aunt Gena Raban. I will say I am looking forward to Christmas because this year we get ALL my siblings at our house. The holiday's make me greatful for having such a rad (Yeah, that's right I said RAD!) family. Not many people can say they actually LIKE all of their family (yes, I even like Becky... most of the time :P) and its a blessing. Here is me wishing everyone Happy Thanksgiving! (p.s.... can I just point out Google offers an extremely low plethora of funny Thanksgiving comics! Good night Google, c'mon!!!)

Babies, Babies everywhere!

Our house has been buzzin' the last couple of months. In addition to our 2 1/2 year old niece Hallie Larie (I always tell people she's named after me, even though TECHNICALLY she's named after our Grammy Raban... details details... ) First we welcomed Jayce Dean to Wendy and Todd, then 6 weeks later on the same day, arrived Avery LuAnn to Casey and Adam and Ryder Joseph to Brelan and Lacie. Its awesome having a bunch of kids around, and Hallie is HILARIOUS! This girl is absolutly in love with disney princess' and funny one liners her dad teaches her. She's like a spunge soakin' up everything! Anyways, hope ya like the pictures!

Happy Halloween!

I was the sweetest Mario you've ever seen! There were tons of great costumes! More picturse coming soon!!
