We Packed a Photographer on our Recent Trip!

 A fun photographer who was referred to us, met us at the Lower Falls of the McCloud River near the base of Mt. Shasta to take these pictures. These are our favorites out of many she took.

 Kirk was a very good sport & went along with the whole thing! :)

 34 years together




 He made me laugh so hard several times, so the photographer just clicked away.

 Love this guy--an amazing protector & provider!
 His happy wife. :)

Kirk's Birthday

Philip made this really cool airplane wall-decor piece himself! It is the image of a B-17 that Jerry trained pilots in during WWII. Philip decopaged it onto distressed wood.

Cool, huh?

Look who's 3 months old!

Here Lee is in the rocker I inherited from my Grandmother. It is over 150 years old!

He is SO much fun! He chuckles, smiles, tries to talk and is a HUGE distraction! :)

After going out to Lucille's BBQ for dinner, we went to Jerry's to open cards.

A LIttle Get-away to Hyatt Grand Champion in Indian Wells

The last week of school was very stressful, so Kirk offered to "take me away from it all." We got a good deal on Priceline and went to the Hyatt Grand Champion in Indian Wells (past Palm Desert)

The room was nice except for the noising AC system.

We ate our yogurt with a little granola each morning on our patio.

We had to stop at Shields in Indio for a date shake! I got a single scoop cone which was yummy!

We spent one day looking at real estate for fun and then spent most of this day lounging by the pool.


While Kirk napped I walked around the grounds and took a few photos.

We had a lovely and relaxing time!

Our Stay-cation over Memorial Weekend -Laguna Beach

We invited Robin and David to spend the night in our guestroom! The guys went and hit 3-4 buckets of balls while Robin and I looked at my digital scrapbooks and talked. The next day we went to Laguna.
We had a leisurely breakfast in our backyard, and then went down to Laguna ( lots of traffic) to "poke around" for the afternoon.



Here are some pictures
Robin and I wandered around and; took pictures while David and Kirk chatted

Laguna is SO beautiful!



We had a late lunch at Madison Gardens across the street from Las Brisas on PCH.



This picture should be first.

Mother's Day 2012

 Yea, we finally got a family picture with all 7 of us!
 Kirk barbequed his delicious tri-tip and each man brought a side-dish for Mother's Day dinner.
 Our wonderful kids!
 Uncle Jeff & Aunt Heather with little Lee
 The adoring family looking at the adorable baby!
 The green sticker is his # from our church nursery this morning. 
Lee weighs 9lb.10oz now. :)
 Great Grandma giving Lee a bottle
Each of us wrote out Mom's name on the plate. 
During dessert we went around the table and told a sweet or funny memory of our mom.
Such wonderful & sweet fellowship. :)

Lee is 1 month old today!


The plate says, "We've got new names-Grandma & Grandpa!"

 Lee is 1 month old today. See the "1 MONTH" sticker on his little outfit?
Abby brought Lee to school today so the teachers could meet & hold him.
 Ahh, true love!!
 Lisa made that cute banner with Lee's name spelled out
The thrilled Grandma!!! (in my office)
