More Pics...

So I just got back from a BBQ and got a cd from Matt and Alisha with over 600 pics from our excursion on Saturday. I had to share some more pics...they are all awesome and had a hard time narrowing it down to just these. Thanks Matt and Alisha for doing such an awesome job at capturing the memories of the day for us!!!

Had to start with a pic of Matt and Alisha--our photogs!

Family pic

This was actually a VERY dark tunnel in the fort, thanks for the flash giving some light.

Happy Lauren!

We didnt fit quite as well as the kids did....

On the ferry

Deception Pass

Sorry ahead of time for all the pics...

We had a great day today. We started it bright and early at 7 am(or I guess I did, Ladd slept in)....packed up the car and met up with some friends. We went north to the Mukleteo Ferry to Whidbey Island. Our destination was Deception Pass. We stopped on the way at Ft. Ebey, took lots of pictures (thanks Matt!) The kids had a blast running around and playing in a "real" fort. We continued our journey up to Deception Pass and had lunch, played on the beach and just relaxed. On our way back we stopped at Ft. Casey and then headed back to the Ferry. Ate at Ivars and had ice cream cones and headed back. It was great fun. Thanks again Jill for planning it, Cant wait to do it again!

It brought back many memories of growing up....it seems like every week my parents were doping me up with dramamine and dragging me on another excursion up here. Deception Pass was one of my dad and moms favorite places to go.....

Here are some pics...And Matt....Looking forward to seeing some "Professional pics"! :)

American Idol

I dont care what you say....David Archuletta was way better last night....but I do like David Cook...so I guess I should just be happy and move on.

Izzy

Just some pics I took of her this morning.....Her hair is filling in and getting more curly and she is the cutest thing ever. She makes us laugh all day long with the things she says and how she says them. I forgot how cute 2 year olds are.

Oh yeah, her birthday was May 3 and our lives have been so crazy, we have yet to celebrate it. Someday we will get around to it....I think......

My trip.....

I had a great weekend in San Diego with my sisters.....it went by WAY to fast!!!!
However I am glad to be back with my family. I was starting to miss my kids and Ladd and I think they missed me :)

We had a great time relaxing, playing on the beach, figuring out how to get wet suits on, trying to get past the waves on boogie boards, eating lots of food, Laughing all day long and bonding together as sisters.

And for the record....Surfing is impossible...I am convinced that those who do it have superhuman powers.

And I loved it when I called Ladd one day and asked him if he had done something that he wanted me to do the previous weekend when he was out of town and his reply was "Are you kidding me? Watching these kids is a full time job!" haha!!!!

I cant wait to do it again!

Here are some pics of me and my beautiful sisters!

Trying to get our wetsuits on...it should have been put on Americas Funniest home videos!

The house we stayed in is in the middle...it was a beautiful home and wonderful place to stay!

On the Imperial Beach Pier

We went out on the beach at midnight and had fun dancing(stay tuned for some more pics of us dancing like a bunch of freaks)....

Having lunch

At the Newport Beach Temple

I have lots more pics I will post later for family.......

Time To Party!

We found her!!!!

Our star receptionist/office manager we have been looking for!!!!

She couldnt be more perfect and I know the Lord has blessed us with her and understand why we had to go through the nerveracking stress of not having a front desk person for the last 4 months!

She is awesome, her name is Shawna and she was a manager for a Chiropractic office for 5 years and knows pretty much everything that needs to be done and much more!!!

I am so glad we found someone before I leave for my trip tomorrow!

I CANT WAIT!!!!

For those of you aware of the Twilight World....I cant wait! This was just released today!

5 days......

Till I am in San Diego! I can't wait. Going on a trip with my sisters! We have never done a trip together. We are staying at a friends house right on the beach!

It has been 4 years since we have all been together.

Anyone have any "have to's" that we should do while we are there?
