We love camping. This is Mike and Daisy enjoying the crisp night air right before lighting the fire for the evening. Taking the dogs camping was quite the adventure!

Lily and Daisy are pooped! After a weekend of camping and sniffing everything in the world! They loved every minute of it. When we got home they were even too tired to eat!! Now that's tired.

Summer Famiy Reunions are fun! At this one we met family that I don't think we had ever met before. It was really cool.

This is the rehersal dinner for Mike's sister out in California. Notice the orange trees and the fresh (yummy) strawberries. This was the night we got there. We were dying to get to the ocean!!!

For my birthday Mike took me on a 2 day surprise get away. We went to a natural hot springs about 3 hours north. Our suite had its own natural hot spring jacuzi. He is always so thoughtful!

I love Christmas lights! These are a few of my good friends at Christmas time.

Mike and I posing for family pictures. It was so cold and we had been out there for an hour. Mike was hungry. Can you tell?

We were waiting for Thanksgiving dinner to be ready. We were starving!!! But man were we stuffed when it was over. Of course Mike was hungry two hours later.

Yummy Peanut Brittle. Just another tasty day making candy for Christmas at Mom's house

We went to visit Mike's Dad. Quite a size difference!

We love the mountains! Roughing it is the best!

After a day at the beach we celebrated with our sun burned faces with old friends at a local pub.

Yay! The ocean! One of our most favorite places in the world! We try and visit the ocean whenever we can!

Making Christmas candy with my mom is a tradition that we do every year. We make so many different kinds it is amazing! I package it up and give homemade treats out to all of our friends and neighbors for Christmas. It is a lot of fun.

Family Christmas Party 2007 at Cheree's Parents house. This party is an all day event with games, food, re-inacting the Christmas story of Jesus's Birth and presents! It is a blast! The grandkids get spoiled by grandpa and grandma

This is our house at Christmas last year (2007). We live in a cul-de-sac. Looks like Mike needs to fix some of the lights there in the front. This is the first real snow fall in December. Don't worry more snow came...a lot more!!

Mike's Birthday Party! He loves chocolate cake! We had about 14 friends waiting for us in the family room!

The holidays are fun but when we get back from family parties it is just us and our dogs Lily and Daisy. They humor us by letting us put the cute Christmas bows on them (but not for long). We can't wait to celebrate the holidays with a little one.

This is our friends little adopted one. They got a call the night before telling them that the birth mother had chosen them and she had the baby so they needed to come and get their baby girl. It was quite the celebration. They had waited 9 years!

Mike loves spenging time with his twin sister's boys, Toby and Tommy. They adore Mike. The feeling is mutual.

I love spending time with all of my nieces and nephews. These two are characters! They always keep me laughing. They are growing like weeds!

We love the mountains. We love hiking in the mountains in the Spring and Fall. We love the Autumn colors! This is a place called Silver Lake.

I love the beach just like Cheree! I grew up at the beach. I love taking Cheree there because I know that she enjoys it so much. It is fun to watch her take on the waves.

I was babysitting my nephews and we had fun playing with the camera.
