Stop and smell the roses...

Those of you who know what our backyard looks like will know why I think it is so funny that I took these pics in our backyard.

The Simple Life...

Went camping at El Capitan. Had a blast!!! Was going to tent it, but Clay and Molly insisted we take their RV. Ok twist our arms. We took it, and thank goodness we did cause it rained ALL night one night! Was SO sad to come back home to all the hussle and bussle. As I have complained before I've been having a hard time adjusting to Tay starting school and just the "busy-ness" of life these days. I don't like HAVING to be somewhere at a certain time on a regular basis. I feel like we have lost SO much of our fun family time and being able to just pick up and go wherever we want, whenever we want. So it was nice to be somewhere just hanging out, discovering new things, riding bikes, being at the beach, doin our own thing together as a family!!

For now...

...more to come.

Reno Wedding...

...no, the wedding wasn't in Reno. It was the wedding of Chris Reno and Dena DePompa. Thank you C & D for getting married. We had a BLAST!!!! We don't get to dress up very often, so when we get to I love it! I borrowed my mom's smaller camera and it unfortunately died before we even left our hotel room. So these are the only pics I got. Anyways, such a fun night! Beautiful location at the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve(formerly Ahmanson Ranch) in Calabasas. The food was so yummy...from Rattlers I think. And they bought a ton of random mugs that you drank out of the whole night and then could take home. We pretty much just danced the night away. =) Thank you mom and dad for watching the girls, and thank you Dawn for letting me borrow the super cute outfit, shoes, jewelery AND clutch. =)


**this one's for you dawn!**

Don't want to get too personal...

...but I came across a really good verse that I wanted to share. I could go on and share how it applies to me personally, but I'm not. Instead, here is what the Bible has to say. =) "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'" Hebrews 13:5

Dancing Queen

pretty much for family eyes so they can get a glimpse of dev at her dance class. probably not too interesting for anyone else... =)

Do you see the resemblence now??
