since we've been back....

A lot has happened since we've been back from Oregon.  We celebrated our anniversary (posted a little on that before) and Michael had a birthday!  Our family took a little day trip to St Augustine....it's been kind of busy.  So without further ado, may I present to you our pictures;

A plane went in to land right above us as we were coming into St. Augustine...it was pretty neat.

Our traditional carousel ride...

Couldn't resist taking a picture of this bride, thought it was sweet that they'd get their photos done here...

We stopped in at this fantastic pizza parlor for lunch.  Two giant slices and a drink for $5.  Not bad!  We were having such a good time that I said, "Even if it started raining right now, this trip will have been worth it.".  I kid you not, the heavens opened up and it started pouring!  Tried to stick it out but we eventually had to go home.  Carousel and some pizza...not too shabby.

So we went to Kan-Ki for Mike's birthday.  Quelle surprise... Here's a lovely picture of Blaine stuffing his face.

Our awesome chef...what a photo op, lol.

He lit a fire right in front of Michael's plate....it was a birthday candle!

Michael wanted a cheesecake for his birthday, so et voila!  

a merry time....

Blaine looooooooooooooooves horses!

Back in the saddle again!  I also loooooooooove horses.  We don't get to ride nearly enough for our liking :).

One of the old cabins at Cornucopia.  Not gonna lie, got pretty spooked this time.

Just some scope....

My dad got a 4-wheeler for the kids.  How lucky are these guys?!

My mom and sis-in-law Dee, two very lovely ladies...

Another lovely lady, my Gram!

Sis Becca and Lil Ida on the 4th, we had such a good time!

My big, bad bro lighting the sparklers (Lauren and Ryan hovering in anticipation!).

Ambo, Chris and Kendall....love them so much~

And last but not least, my very own flippin fish!!!!  He's 1 of 4 actually (I realize that sounds like bragging but I don't care).  I also thought he had the prettiest coloring.

happy 13th my love!!!!!

Dudes, get this!  Michael and I have been married for 13 years today.  13!  We have always considered this our lucky number.  We were hitched on Friday the Thirteenth, so there you go :).  I just wanted to shout out for everyone to hear, that I love this man so very much!  From the first time we saw each other, I just knew.   He's been my best friend, a wonderful father and the greatest husband.

Happy Anniversary, I love you!

a trip home...some of the first week

Oregon will always be home to me.  It's a kind of wonderful place!  My parents and grandmother are there and it's always great to see them, the town is quiet/peaceful (insert deep breath here).  We were kind of in a whirlwind preparing for the rest of the family to get there and still managed to have a good time!
