Wedding in Vegas

My darling niece Adrian got married in Vegas and I'm so happy we were able to go and be a part of it. She is my first niece to be born and they live in Washington so we didn't see them too often. I remember seeing her for the first time when she was about 6 months and that darling dark haired baby turned out to be this beautiful blonde bride. We had a blast! The Bellagio at Christmas time is absolutely amazing, and so is the frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity. The view from the top of The Palms is incredible!

Thanksgiving in Yachats

Thanksgiving in Yachtats is the best. Its chilly, the ocean is rough, its cozy and fun to hang out with my family and laugh! We go on our famous shopping trip to Fred Meyer to get all the stuff for our amazing Thanksgiving dinner, which is always a riot, play games, lots of walks on the beach, lots of chowder, and several trips to Village Bean to warm up with a yummy latte. Its basically heaven :) 

BOO

We had another fun Halloween, filled with all our usual traditions. Bryns parade at school, trick or treating with friends from the neighborhood, going to the "soda" house and potato soup of course!

Aloha

Steve had a job in Maui, we were jealous, soooo we ALL went. We found an awesome deal, the only problem was we had to fly out of Vegas, it was worth it though. We stayed at Kaanapali Shores, right on the beach, it was awesome! We did lots of snorkeling and beach time, saw lots of turtles, ate shave ice everyday, had fresh pineapple for breakfast every morning.We did a snorkel cruise to Molokini crater, so fun! I'm so glad we decided to go ahead and have all of us go! Amazing!

Cabin

We are so lucky my Brother and his Wife have this beautiful cabin! We had our annual trip up there and had so much fun! We had a campfire and made S'mores, rode 4 wheelers, painted rocks ( and bugs) had a yummy dutch oven dinner, played games, laughed at Jamie when the bugs tormented her and woke up with one on her in the middle of the night, had Jamie's famous strawberry waffles, and most important spent time together and laughed!
