Happy Wedding Day!

Andrew's sister got married this last weekend! We are so happy for her and had a great time participating in the wedding events!!!

Andrew is so proud of his mustache! If you can't see it take a closer look!

This is the 'behind the scenes' look during photo time! Chaos!

Family Photo!

Who is this Handsome Devil?

At the reception Callie had a great time dancing. She couldn't keep the boys off her!!!

Here's Callie taking a break from dancing with her cousins.

Lincoln City

We spent a few days in Lincoln City with some family and had a lot of fun. I love the Oregon Coast! We caught some sun (Hence, the sunglasses), but it was still 'bundle up' cold.

We spent a lot of time looking at tide pools. Here we saw a group of star fish.

Part of the pretty scenery!

Daddy and Callie climbing up on rocks.

Callie loved this soccer ball! She would kick it...shout for joy...then run and kick it again. She did this for hours!

Here's Andrew posing and then frightened by a splash!

Heres a look at a tide pool up close.

Happy Graduation!!!

On Tuesday Andrew graduated from Oregon Health and Science University! Whahoo! We are so excited and glad to be done with this chapter of school. OHSU also offered Andrew a job in their Cardiac ICU. This is the job we were hoping for and he starts mid-July. Andrew is still studying hard for his boards and will be taking them at the end of the month. Once he passes the boards then he'll have the official title of RN!

This is Marsha(Andrew's mom), Andrew and Me right after graduating. We left Callie with my mom and spared her the long graduation!

Mexico!

Well we went on vacation!!! We dropped Callie off at grandma's and headed with our friends to Mexico! We had so much fun!

Here we are our first day and we loved seeing bright blue water on the Sea of Cortez!

This is the beach house we stayed at!

My friend Brittany pointed out that these mountains in the distance are white. When I asked why, she said that they are covered in bird poop! Eeewww Gross!

Andrew tried some ocean Kayaking, but the weather was stormy and the waves were too big!

Here's another attempt with the "Water Oasis" raft. Matt and Andrew almost tipped over!

Then Matt had a good idea. Pull a Boogie board behind the Rhino!

I found a whale bone our last day of exploring!

We would find these Jelly Fish randomly on the beach. It was amazing to see how "Smurf" blue they were.


This is the view on the other side of the beach. This is a lot of Cacti!

And last but not least a beautiful Mexican sunset!

We had a great time!

Oh and by the way...when we got home I realized my driver's license had been expired for a month. I went through two airports and across the border and no one noticed. Way to go Homeland Security!!!

Family Scrabble!

I don't know about anyone else, but I enjoy a nice game of Scrabble every now and then. So we got the game out to play as a family and had a blast!!! Callie really enjoyed it and had some of the best words on the board!




Okay, so it really looks like she's playing, but really she had fun with the letters and watching mommy and daddy play. Good times!

Pretty Purple Tutu!

Callie got this tutu as a christmas gift from my sister. At first she was afraid of it and wouldn't go near it. Now its her favorite 'pretty' and wants to wear it all the time. Also, she is really into being naked, which is why she has ONLY the tutu on!!!

Potty Time and Fun glasses!

We bought an "Elmo" toilet seat for Callie last month. I am in no means potty training her, but I thought it would be a good idea to get her used to it before we actually start the process. She loves it! And you can't use the potty without the proper reading material!




We were heading out the door one day and Callie insisted on wearing her fun glasses. I told her I was going to take a picture and I turned around and saw this pose. What a cheeseball!
