February, March, April, and Random:

FEBRUARY

Valentine's weekend surprise with my awesome hubby. We drove along the coast, stopped off at the beach to sunbathe a little on our way to the city where we stayed in a cool hotel and went to the ballet at night and beautiful gardens in the morning. Wow! I guess he loves me a lot! : )

MARCH

Rock climbing with Christina and Mike and Abby - only 1 year old and she's a natural!

It's a miracle! I can see! No more contacts or glasses! I got LASIK and had to sleep with these plastic shields over my eyes for like a week - very flattering, I know.

Stephanie cut my hair short again. It's the shortest it's ever been, but I love it! I feel so grown up and stylish!

APRIL

Our niece, Abby's 1st birthday. Don't worry, that's her piece....I think.

Mike and I went to visit Mimi and her family in Chicago in April, about a month after their new addition, Jude was born.
Above: Cuddling with Jude. This was my favorite activity of the trip.
Seeing the sites and eating the awesome food was super fun too!

Best hamburger I've ever eaten!

We are literally on top of the world...seriously, my ears were popping going up/down the elevator at the Sears tower.

The Bean! So cool!

Chicago is such a beautiful city!

He's gonna make a great daddy some day! What a natural! Jude loves his Uncle Mike! And Josh can't get enough of wrestling with Mike and playing on his iPad, of course.

Thanks Mimi and Matt for sharing your space with us and showing us Chicago! We had a blast!

RANDOM:

I think this is at the beach at a night concert in Santa Cruz with the Irwins. Fun! I love Summer!

Bath time is so fun! This is when she still fit in the hospital bin...so funny!...she thought so anyway!

It's not torture...she likes it!

December -babysitting Abby, past our bedtimes...ZZZzzzzz

Abby recently learned to walk...this is when she was just starting out, now she's a pro!
