Happy Birthday Paxsten!

Sorry to all you who thought YOU were Austin's bff...  you've been replaced.

If these two boys are together, they are inseparable!

Pax just turned 2, he had to have his best buddy at his birthday and we were thrilled to get the invite!

Hope you had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAX!

(Thanks for the photos Kel!)

Our Wedding

So many pictures, so little patients to download them... 

here are some of the photos of our day!

I'm goin' goin' to Cali Cali...

For those who don't know, Austin has had to work out of town, the poor guy has HAD to work in Huntington Beach... but he is such a home body that its been hard on him to be away from home, so... the boys flew their wives out!  Luckily Austin was working with his good friend Randy... which meant Sarah, his wife was going too.  We all had so much fun!

Saturday morning we went out and rented some bikes...

The girls...

The boys...

Cruisin'

Balboa Pier

Ridin'

Newport Beach, Austin was the only brave one, the boys have figured out that the sun doesn't really come out until sometime after noon...

Driving along... had to steal this picture

Sunday we were trying to figure out what to do, our 16+ mile bike ride had left us all pretty sore, so we all jumped in the car and decided to see Laguna Beach, this is the only picture I took as we were passing through.

We drove to Dana Point Harbor... here is Randy, Sarah and I doing the "Captain Morgan" stance.

Austin and I

Smile!

This beach that we went to at Dana Point is a protected area, there is so much sea life, you're not even allowed to take rocks off the beach, it was very clean which was really nice, because we walked barefoot through a lot of it.

This picture doesn't do this BIG guy justice... he (or she) was HUGE!  I'd guess about a foot from tip to tip.

There are two anemone's in this picture, can you find them?

These rocks were cool, some guy was there balancing them

After a drive "home" to the extended stay hotel, we decided we'd all go have a fire on the beach and watch the sunset.   While we were waiting I wrote Austin a little message in the sand.... <3

Sarah and Randy

This may sound weird, but after our cruise in Caribbean it was really weird to see waves in the ocean.  They were so pretty, now if only the water was as pretty....

The boys left to go grab us dinner, while they were gone Sarah and I got to witness this rad mobil recliner... YUP!  He was just cruising along... in his LAZY boy!

Our view... Huntington Pier at sunset.

US!

The fireball in the sky...

All and all, it was probably the best weekend trip I have ever had!  It was last minute and we all lived it up.  I enjoyed every second I got to spend with my HUSBAND!  :)

Our baby turns 4!

Tomorrow our little baby boy turns four years old!

In honor of his birthday, here are 4 things you may not know about this little [big] guy:

1. His favorite thing to play is ball... particularly soccer ball

2. He loves all his grandma's and grandpa's AND his Miss and Elli, you cannot say those words without him going crazy.

3. He is a lap dog.

4. He is a people's dog, not a dog's dog.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLTER!

The REVILE!

A while back I posted that we were working on a bedroom makeover... 

Well I was feeling bad that I never took "after" photos, we are still working on getting comfortable and getting things the way we want them, so it's still a work in process!  

Drum roll please....
