the ranch..

Wyoming is a pretty wild place. We had a great time exploring, riding the rhino (with Tanner driving scary!) fishing, hiking and shooting guns. All things we don't get to do in CA. We really loved seeing the antelope or "speed goats" as Buzzy's family call them!

Tony's Wedding

Congrats Tony! We are very excited for you and Racine.... Your wedding was so much fun..

Tanner graduated.....

Tanner and Mrs Day. (principal)

Enzo, Tanner, and James.. (We are waiting for Tanner's growth spurt.)

Soccer with the Dads..

Candy of course..

Taco Guy. (Very nice to have someone else cooking for a change)

Abby and Nestle. (They really are both asleep..)

Can't believe Tanner is finished with elementary school. We have had such a great time at Baywood. We have made friends that we will have forever. I am glad that Abby has a few more years, because it truly is such a great place.

Last night we celebrated with a few friends. We ate a lot of tacos, played some crazy soccer (Ryan split his shorts), and enjoyed the first night of summer.

After cleaning up I came inside to find Abby and Nestle' passed out on the couch... So funny!

Tahoe.....

We had a great weekend with Tim, Mitzi and their family at their beautiful place up in Tahoe. We felt very spoiled to be staying in such an incredible place right on the water.

We enjoyed a great beach, a new boat, a beautiful hike, paddle surfing, one game of Settler's (Tim we think you are kind-of a wimp), good food, and always entertaining company.

Thank you very much Anderson/Marvel crew. Look forward to many more good memories (hopefully at your place :) !!!

Mother's Day

Ryan and I took the kids to the city to walk across the Golden Gate bridge on Mother's day before I had to go in for knee surgery. There is a some talk about closing the bridge to pedestrians so I wanted to make sure the kids had a chance to go on it. The kids (and Ryan) were a little scared, this is earthquake territory...

We have also had our parents in helping while I wasn't able to get around very easy. The kids always love playing ping pong, reading books and eating Happy yogurt with their grandparents.

And Mom, I still feel sick from eating so many cinnamon crisps from Half Moon Bay..

Thanks to everyone for all of the help. It has made recovery much more fun...

Final Inspection

It has been a long time in the works, but this week we get to have our final inspection on our remodel. Overall we are thrilled with the way it all turned out. A big thanks to Ryan's dad Kevin Watts who was the architect, and Jim McManis who was the general contractor. They both did a great job!

Here are a few pics of the before's and afters.

Slight Obsession...

It is finally warm around here, and with the change of weather came the launch of Liberty of London at Target. I think I almost bought the entire line. It is what Abby and I (and even Ry. Got him the tie for his b-day tomorrow shhh!), will be wearing this summer. I am so excited, I could not even sleep. Very fun to see cool floral prints just in time for spring.

Yeah!
