hawaii 2007!

Kauai with my aunt and uncle 2007! We had a great time! The weather was amazing, and we had so much fun with my family! There were tons of sea turtles too!

PUPPIES!!

So, i spent the weekend with NINE yellow lab puppies (about 7 weeks old) and they were SO cute! The family got together for father's day - and to spend some time with the pups! It was so fun - because there are so many, they each have a different colored collar and that is their temporary name - unless they've been given a nickname of course. My favorite nickname is Tank - for the pup with the green collar - the reason for his name is pretty self-explanatory. But each of them is sooo precious, and after three days with them, I honestly could not pick a favorite. I want them all! =)

a couple more reception shots

More time with sunglasses - Gips mom is pictured here with me - in her rockin shades.

More reception pics

This was a FUN reception - and toward the end of the night, Gips mom started handing out sunglasses! As you can see, we made good use of them. There were a lot of great pictures taken that night, so i'll do my best to recap with some fun ones!

Gips Wedding

Gips wedding was at a beautiful church - and you can see that the boys looked GOOD - and is in a pic above with Tim and Marco.

The night before Gips Wedding

WE arrived in Ohio late friday night, to find a TON of people hanging in the lobby of the hotel! There was plenty of food, wine, and laughter - not to mention a big sandwhich ring! Featured in the pictures above are PJ and Kat, Mike, Sarah and Tim. This evening was the beginning of a very fun wedding!

estes park

We took a trip to Estes Park for the Jazz festival, but it ended up raining! I put these pictures up though to show the transformation andy has gone through in the last two years. You'll note he's wearing flip flops, a hat, and a zip up hoodie - oh and he has an awesome soul patch! - all of which you probably would not have seen on him before he met me. =) I like to think i'm keeping his style "fresh" - plus i think he looks really good!! =)

A visit from Maryel!

Yahoo!! Angie and I at her house in Fullerton!! =)

An afternoon in Boulder on Pearl street made for some fun pics! there was a craft fair going on, so we sampled a few hats, and andy was lucky enough to get a high five from a live jelly belly! You can also see the beautiful flowers in bloom here right now - pretty!! :) Overall we had lots of fun with Jonathan!

A trip to the zoo with andy and my brother jonathan! He came to visit for the weekend, and we had a great time in the zoo! Yes, there are other pictures on this blog of the zoo, but not the same animals! Last time we only saw half the zoo (i like to spend time at each section) =) - so we saw the rest with my brother!

Last day of the season

Last day of the season, we ended it with a great day of snowboarding! A few falls have left me a little soar today, but overall it was a fun season of learning to snowboard!

Art Museum

Trip to the Contemporary Art Museum in Denver, then to Casa Bonita for an evening of cliff diving and gorillas! Of course the food was horrible, but the entertainment was unforgettable!
