Guess Where We Went

Can you tell by this picture where we went???

You got it... Palm Springs.

This is the view from our patio.
Great-Grandpa and the kids hanging out at the pool.
Kolby and Great Grandpa did a glasses switch.

Another picture from the patio.

Daddy and the fish in the pool.
The kids loved the jacuzzi tub.

We had a great time in Palm Springs. It was HOT... 117 each day. We spent a lot of time in the water. We visited Knott's Soak City and rode the water tube rides. Great Grandpa and Sylvia drove over for a visit. Grandpa gave Kasey a guitar and Kendyll a Ukelele. They are very nice and Kasey really wants to take lessons. Kasey met a friend from OC and they enjoyed swimming together. We stayed at the Marriott Desert Springs Villas. It was a very nice place.

To the Lake

Hit It Russ!
Tubin' Cuties

The Moms
Daddy and his girl.

We went to Lake Naciemento for Father's Day and then again 2 weeks later. These are pictures from both trips. The weather was great, not too hot and cool enough in the evening for a fire and roasting marshmallows.

The Love Boat

We are on our way to the Long Beach port to set sail.

Total Relaxation!

We are "mustering" at our station! Can't not take this picture.

This was our hang out in Ensenada. It was a great place to people watch and groove to the music.

This was our last night. We had such great food, and a lot of it!

Kasey made this sign and had is hanging on the garage. We are so glad our ship was horizontal.

Ken and I went with our great friends, Caryn and Russ on a weekend cruise to Ensenada. No, we didn't take the kids. Thankfully Grandma Barbara (my mom's best friend) stayed with them. We left on Friday and got home on Monday. It was the perfect amount of time to be away. We had such a GREAT time. It was very relaxing and wonderful not having to take care of anyone and the biggest care was which drink we would order. Caryn and Russ are a blast to travel with. They are very mellow and like to have fun. We ate a lot, had a lot of fun and tons of laughs. We are looking forward to the next get-away!

My Handsome Buggie

Oh those big eyes! Kolby got a haircut on this day. I asked him for a big smile and this is what I got. LOVE IT!!!!

How Much is That Doggie in the Window?

How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)

The one with the waggley tail

How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)

I do hope that doggie's for sale

This is what we see as we eat our dinner. We don't allow him to be inside while we eat so he just wants to be as close as he can to us. Way too cute!

Cousin Buddies

Are they cute or what!? Kolby and Bella dressed up to see Kasey and Kendyll perform in Cinemagic. They are both 4 (17 days apart). I especially love Kole's Converse high tops.

Girl Power (except Elway)

My beautiful sister and handsome puppy.

My darling niece Isabella aka Tink.

I'm 7!

Emily and Kate made this beautiful birthday cake for Kendyll. We had a pool/BBQ party for her birthday.

Kendyll chose to go to Wood Ranch for her birthday dinner. Auntie Sissy and Bella joined us.

Buddy Bowling

These are Kolby's buddies from preschool. From the left is Andrew, Kole, Nikolas and Mikey. We usually meet everyother week and have "buddy lunch." This picture was taken at a friend's birthday party. It is great to see Kolby develop friendships at his young age.

Our Easter Trip (a bit out of order)

Our wonderful driver.
Totally relaxed on the ride there.

Auntie Sissy and cousin Bella in the snow in Sierra City.

Our lame attempt to sled. (A bit W T don't ya think?)

Our cool snow dude.

Kendyll and Bella

Grandpa and Noni's cabin in Sierra City.

We had a great trip to Reno for Easter. We spent a day at Grandpa's cabin in the snow. We had lunch at the grocery store in downtown Sierra City (everything else was closed). The drive along the 395 was beautiful.
