Happy Birthday Jen...yesterday

The other pics I have of Jen getting her brows waxed are much funnier but I thought she might kill me if I posted them. In this photo I think she was checking to see if there was any skin left on the lid. And below were at Dancing with the Stars because we like that kinda stuff!
Happy Birthday. Thank you for becoming such a good friend. I admire your many talents, your many strength, your humor and ability to hang in there with my brother and his crazy family. He says you're the best thing that's ever come into his life and I agree! I love you and the time we spend together.

Mattie Faith - Juli's fourth Grandchild




I had the honor of watching a new life come into this world. July 1, 2007, Ms. Mattie Faith was born to Erica and Matt. Once Erica's labor started it was all of about an hour before Mattie appeared! She weighed 5 lbs 14 onces and was 19 inches long.

Grace and Uncle Mark sharing some ice cream pie...
Some for you, some for me....

mmmm...this is good!

Uncle Mark ate all the ice cream.....

I had some cute video of Mason learning how to put his head underwater and Grace doing the bunny hop (which really should have audio to get the full effect) but couldn't get them downloaded from my camera.

Vincent and Holly

I warned them... They would be posted! Vincent might look mean but he's a sweet as they come. Dave, he said its been a long time since he's seen you. The blog was great because I could show some of Jen's awesome photos. You may not be able to tell from this picture but Holly is a tiny little thing. She weighs all of about 90 pounds. She's very soft spoken and always smiling. They live in the Denver area and we get to see them at least a few times a year. They have a beautiful daughter, Malia and I didn't have the camera when I was around her.


Puerta Vallarta Vacation

Pictured with us is the bellman from our hotel, his wife and little girl. They took us on a tour of some nearby cities. We even got to see their house. This was Mark's Birthday dinner. He had flaun for dessert instead of birthday cake. He loves cake. He doesn't like flaun. He ate it. I think I still owe him a birthday cake!
This was my favorite place during the vacation.
Okay, maybe this was...Mark rubbing my feet!

We had a balcony that went all the way around our room. This was the view from the left side. One of three huge pools at our hotel. The rest of the balcony overlooked the ocean.

The living area of our our two bedroom, three bath room. The owner of the hotel had the room just below us. It was and awesome place to be for a week!
