Vote!!!

Just another reminder for everyone to go out and VOTE today!!  I already went, and there was no line or no waiting....it was in and out!  Nice.  I wasn't planning on going until this afternoon when Frans got home from work, but as it happens, we woke up to a huge water mess, so he was home cleaning that up!  Something under our kitchen sink broke, so we woke up at 7:00, to the sound of water running....and  thought, okay, that's not the shower, it's not the toilet having just been flushed....OH NO!  We had water in the main bathroom, all down the hall, in the girls bedroom, in the kitchen and dining room and almost into the family room!  what a job cleaning that up!

baby steps....

IMG_9692My baby girl is walking at 10 1/2 months (my earliest walker)!  She has been flirting with the idea for the last few weeks, and is now finally getting enough confidence to get up and go!  This stage is so much fun for all of us...but then, I think I say that every stage is the best!      hmmm...should I turn around or keep going?IMG_9679IMG_9705
And no sunday is complete without the comics and a nap on the floor!IMG_9656

Our family trip....

  As busy as we were in June, with weddings and the bridal show, we still managed to get away to San Diego for five days with our girls.  We had been anxiously waiting for this trip for a long time, and we just couldn't wait for July to go!  We had such a fun time, and got some much needed R&R!   IMG_5516 1IMG_5584 1IMG_5645 1

Kris and Jamie

Kris and Jamie were married on June 20th at the Ocotillo Golf Resort.  It was a HOT day, I think the temp reached 117 at one point!   But we still managed to get some great shots despite the sweltering temps!  122 175These rings hanging off of the bride's boquet were her "something old".  They were her grandmothers rings...I thought that was so neat!108303
