The Summer is flying by

What Thanksgiving Again: Yup, that's right we did it again, My mom's fiance Bill wasn't able to make it to our Thanksgiving this last year, and was really bummed, so we decided since we had an extra turkey that we would go ahead and do it all again on a much smaller scale for his last visit. It was lots of fun, and nice to have turkey again. he hee Even though it was Spring time.

Loge's we love and miss you, can't wait till you come home!!Happy Birthday "MY"Lauren!!!

Pop's Birthday: the boys decided that for thier dad's birthday they would buy him a tool table, not thinking that he really wanted one, but that they felt he needed one. Come to find out it was EXACTLY what he wanted. He was really excited about it. It doesn't look like much but it took 6 hours to put together, well while watching TV. He hee We had a little BBQ dinner for Sterling at our house since Kelly was out of town. It was alot of fun!



Phantom: Kim, Parker, Gene and I all went to see Phantom of the Opera. It was such a wonderful evening. We headed off to Sacramento and had no traffic and just missed the I-5 construction. We then went to dinner at a new restaurant called Ella's it was sooo good and the best service I have ever had at a restaurant. Every time we left the table someone would come and fold our napkin for us and place it on our table. The staff was so attentive to everything that we needed even before we knew we needed it. The food was amazing and we ordered just about everything they had on the menu between the four of us. Plus appetizers and Dessert. Oh, the dessert was amazing. I had this amazing carrot cake with homemade butter ice cream. It was to die for. Kim and I were in heaven.

Movies: Gene and I finally saw the new Indianna Jones Movie, not too keen on the whole alien temple scene, but a very entertaining movie none the less, and a great way for us to beat the heat and sit in an air conditioned theater for two hours. Plus we got to hang out with some great friends and hear all the details about their wedding.


B-day with the Solomon's: For Gene's Birthday our awsome friends the Solomon's took us to the Melting Pot for dinner. We had tons of fun, and great food, even though our waitress was a little akward. Hardly any of my pictures turned out because of the steam, but this one managed to be clear. Thanks Guys your the best!


Bodega Bay: Marc, Kristen, Gene and I decided to go to Bodega Bay for Gene's Birthday, we had a wonderful time, the weather was perfect until we got to the ocean, then it was a little windy, but it usually is. So we hung out, walked the beach, relaxed, ate tons of crab (well, everyone but me of course) and even more salt water taffy.


We are so blessed to have such great friends and amazing Family members around us. It is so important to us to be able to spend time together, laugh, and create wonderful memories with those that mean the most. We love you guys!!!
