Beach House 09

Another summer coming to a close, another wonderful week at the beach house in Rhode Island! This year was by far the best! The family, all 28 of us and counting, ate, drank, swam, watched 'Jaws', ate Dunkin's finest and drank Del's like no bodies business! I have got to hand it to the Oliver family......they know the meaning of good clean family fun (two socks rolled together, this ones for you!)!

Ryan and I are glad to be home but already can't wait for the next time we get to see the family again!

Well I've been to Paris, I've been to Rome....du du du dada dun dun du

What do I do but miss my home..........woooooooo NEW ENGLAND!

Little Gabrielle

My bestest friend Dasha and her wonderful hubby Eric had the most beautiful baby this past weekend!!!!!!!!!! BABY Gabrielle and here she is! Look at all of that hair!

ZIONS Park

Good times in the national park. Good friends, good food, tons of kids, life isn’t all that bad!

Does anyone remember the top and back ponytail combination? I brought it back! Oh yea, feeling good, looking good!

May is here and.........I have allergies!

Happy May..........I mean almost June. Ryan and I have been really busy this past month and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

Our little buddy Yeagrrr is a bit sick right now and we hope that he starts to feel better soon.

Went to Zion National Park last weekend with some very 'old', yes we are all over 30 now, friends! It was a blast! We are very lucky to have such wonderful people in our life!

Bye for now...........

Fru-tah!

So... Fruita was pretty fantastical, as usual. we drove in friday night and things were looking iffy. a lot of wind and some ominous clouds had us concerned. we resorted to drinking in the car sitting in the parking lot for an hour or so because of the wind. also, we learned that almost half of our party from the greater Denver area decided to bail because of the 2 feet of snow they would surely drive through going over the passes. anyway, the weather cleared and it was warm and sunny all day Sat and Sun. biked with old friends and made some new friends from Salida, CO. drank a smidge too much (vurping on the first climb Sun morning. yum!) but that's to be expected. all in all, a stellar weekend.

get a little closer-here are some of those pictures in real big like form.

no more ski boarding

last day of the year at Deer Valley with the family. well, part of the family.

nice day... 50 deg and good spring snow. we gave 'er hell for 2 hours, took and hour for lunch, and went home. we're totally core!
