Wedding Pictures!

We're buying a house!

We're in escrow and will probably be closing in a week or so - we can't wait! We'll probably take a month to do repairs, painting, flooring, etc. but we should be living in our new home by the end of July! Just in time for everyone to see it when they're here for the wedding. It's a really cool home built in the 1960's. The best part is really the yard, but I didn't get pictures of it yet... my camera battery died. I keep having people ask for pictures, though so here's a sneak peek!

Quebec trip again

I went to Quebec again for work and got to see my favorite group and hang out with them for dinner. I'm so lucky to work with such a great group of people!

Visit to Kentucky for Kelly's Graduation

My cousin, Kelly graduated from her Master's at the University of Kentucky and Scott and I flew out to celebrate with her. My cousin has always amazed me with how smart she is and as she's gotten older, I'm even more amazed by her every time I see her. She's such a beautiful, sweet, and intelligent woman and she has an amazing personality to boot - Kelly - I love you, babe!

We had a great time visiting with she and her family and my grandmother and cousin Nancy. Never-ending laughs always with this bunch. :-) We drove out into the Kentucky country-side which was beautiful. We also went wine tasting and found some pretty flowers. We also visited the library at the University of Kentucky where my aunt works - it's a really amazing building. I had to take pictures of the walls, too because there were quilts all around the edges. I knew Mary Anne from work would love that.

Zoo and Wild Animal Park

I went a few months back (I'm VERY behind on blogging) to the Zoo and Wild Animal Park with Jo and Bailie. This is our second year in a row to go and see the butterflies at the WAP - it's so much fun! I hope we make it a yearly tradition. We went to see the parakeets (is that what these guys are called?) and they fell in love with my sweatshirt (and my ring!) I had a hard time getting them off me finally, but it was cute. I love the "get in my belly" pose that Balie did - too cute! She and I had fun acting like turtles too. I think it cracked her up that I got in there because I barely fit. :-)

Kim comes back to San Diego!

Kim came back for a weekend and we had such a great time - can't believe she's been gone for 5 years! We had an awesome walk on the beach at Torrey Pines, but had forgotten that we had our calluses removed during pedicures the day before. Needless to say, we needed those calluses for the walk! It was a great time though and all I can say is: Love Abba and Tiffany!

Easter

Alex and Kris had us over for an Easter brunch and we had a great time. WAY too much food was eaten, as you would naturally expect. Houston is getting cuter all the time and as you can see, definitely prefers the boys - look at him copying his squatting dad and loving the bubbles with Scott. So precious! Thanks guys for having us over!

Engagement is FUN!

We're so excited to be engaged - still! :-) Our good friend, Jo took engagement pictures of us and as all her pictures do, they turned out great. It was super fun taking them too - we had no idea what to do, but it kept us laughing. Here are a few favorites for you to enjoy.

Happy 1st Birthday, Cole!

Today Cole turned 1 and I went out to help celebrate. He is just as cute as always and those eyes don't ever change (or the adorable hair!) Bailie was there to celebrate too and she just gets prettier and prettier everytime I see her (didn't think it would be possible!). Mom and dad are going to have to keep those boys away soon (except for Cole).

SoCal Wildflowers!

Do we live in paradise, or what!?! I absolutely love this time of year. I become a bit of a hermit in the winter anyway and start to come out of it in Feb and March and then everything starts to turn green here and there are blooms everywhere and lots of sun and Santa Ana warm winds and... I'm in heaven! Scott and I headed out to Anza Borrego again this year and found a field of yellow - it was beautiful! We went to a few other sites too and saw so many gorgeous flowers. There were also TONS of caterpillars - we had to watch where we walked so we wouldn't step on them - I would love to be there for the butterflies coming out, but I'm not sure when that is.
