on the trip home from our scary snorkeling trip! :) (Sharks and deep water)

at the restaurant, "The Office" on the beach
our last morning there- a run on the beach!

para sailing!!! son fun!

We had a great trip and it was so fun to just be stress-free and have no worries!! We are moving in to our apartment now, and it's slowly becoming a cute "home"!! Thanks mom and dad again for bringing up all our things- we REALLY appreciate it!!

Georgia's Camo Clothes

Georgia wants you to determine if her camo pants make her invisible against the desert backdrop (she wasn't going to the bathroom) - Wheres Georgia?

Some more Wedding Week Pictures

As mom will attest, the girls and there flower-picking habits can be a little destructive. But also cute, right?


This one cracks me up! Caption, anyone, for what Lizzie's thinking?

They're all smiling at once!! Amazing!!

These are some pictures from the week at mom & dad's after the wedding. We REALLY enjoyed getting to stay and hang out. We went to the Gublers' for some weeding, went to San Fran for the Japanese Tea Garden (which I now want to repliate in my backyard) and enjoyed going to lunch with Dad and hearing about Em and Brett's adventures. We could have stayed another week!

Elizabeth's box- made out of one of the many, many shipments Brett and Emily got while they were gone.

A bird aimed right for Kate at the Tea Garden- can you see the white spot on her cheek? It doesn't do it justice- there was liquid white on her, her camera, and clothes.

Kate took to becoming Bear's personal photographer. I think he rather liked the attention.

Lizzie and Caitlin and Kate all took turns taking pictures in the bamboo. But I think I like Kate's pose the best!

Kate & Lizzie

A Beautiful Wedding!

Here's some pictures from the wedding, it really was just perfect!

They just can't all look at the camera at once, can they?

I love this picture! And the little girl (is that Denae's daughter?) is so cute. Emily, all these little girls were giddy with excitement seeing you in your dress! Which turned out beautiful, Mom!

This cracks me up! Carrie to the rescue with Lizzy's bear (or was it a bunny?)

Dad doing damage control with Alex

Ahh, yes the Crowley siblings

The view of Oakland and San Fransisco was so clear!

The dresses turned out so cute...Audrey wants to wear hers all the time. ps-thanks carrie for getting Audrey's cleaned, let me know what I owe you!

Daddy-daughter dance

The entrance into the Clocktower looked so amazing!

I loved the hanging pictures, such a great idea.

The beautiful bride

So Adam and Cameron were pretty much inseparable the entire night. Cameron was such a mess of chocolate and dirt he looked like he had been camping for a week.

Audrey loved sharing a dance with Emily!

It was hard to get a good picture as Alex was on my lap and I was trying to avoid the chocolate/drool oozing out of his mouth and getting on my dress. Bonnie did such a great job on the cake, I love it!

I will post some pictures of our Washington trip soon. It was great to see all of you last week!

congrats mr. and mrs. blodgett!!

just a few pics from the big day...

How do you eat YOUR Ramen?

Here's a sneak peak at how ridiculously adorable Abigail is now!

We Had Visitors!

This last week Nathan and Bev and their four kids came to visit us. It was a lot of fun to have them stay with us. Audrey loved having her cousins to play with and it was great to hang out with Nathan and Bev, we've missed them! Troy and Nathan let me and Bev go to Redding and shop for a day (we let them have a day too) while they were brave warriors and took all eight kids to Burney Falls.

Working hard on their Easter project

Troy's mom Cheryl MADE each of these blankets for the girls and gave them to them on their birthdays. They loved movie time under their special blankets. Aren't they adorable? (the blankets AND the girls)

Troy and Nathan took the 5 older kids up the mountain above our house in Troy's car. I got a call from Troy telling me that they were stuck, the car was high-centered in the snow and wasn't budging. So Troy is giving me a list of things to bring up to them...axe, shovel, rope, boots (he was wearing slippers!) and a bunch of other stuff. So I hopped in the van and drove up the logging road ( I wasn't sure how far my van would go up the mtn!) As I was about a mile up I saw them walking down to meet me. So we took the kids back (they thought the whole thing was entertaining) and Troy and Nathan went back up and managed to get the car out just before it got dark. The adventures of Frick and Frack continue. (childhood nicknames courtesy of Glenn)
