A magical day

Rob and I went home at the end of April for his Dad’s wedding, and it was one of the most magical weddings I’ve ever been to! Randy and Susan are so happy, and so in love. The way they look at each other is so heartwarming. Seeing his Dad this happy makes ME so happy! The newlyweds honeymooned in New York and will be making the big move-in after!

Here are some pics from the special day:

I had to giggle when I saw my parents hold hands during the ceremony. They’re so cute.

My beautiful sister-in-law and sister:

Congratulations Randy & Susan! We love you so much and are so incredibly excited for you!

A special woman

Happy birthday to my beautiful mother. This lady is the best at entertaining and adding a touch of love to anything. I particularly miss her drop-ins at my old office with a treat from AJ’s or Starbucks.

I love you Mom! You are so beautiful.

Spring break with Riley

For 7 days Riley was sort of like our child. It was so much fun hanging with him! But what I think was even more fun was FEEDING him! We grilled hamburgers, baked cookies – made pancakes, french toast, ravioli, fish tacos – drank a lot of root beer and hot chocolate – hit up a couple pizza parlors – and snacked on donuts on St. Patty’s day.

Weather wise, I’m thankful we got some sun and sand in on his first three days. But as you know, it rained every day thereafter – up until his last day in which we spent on a windy beach where we flew mini kites.

Here are some of the highlights at the beach:

When nights were rainy the boys played poker, XBOX and watched manly movies. I even got in on some zombie action on the XBOX!

Rob and his model poses…jeez

On St. Patrick’s Day, we ate at the River Cafe and went to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk for bowling and games.

Love you Riley! It was sad to see you go. Thanks for all the great memories and laughs!

The Color Run

My sister and I joined my friend Melissa and the rest of the ‘We Color Outside the Lines‘ team in The Color Run last weekend. We had a blast! The minds behind The Color Run ask that you wear all white at the start of the race. So, we did.

Love her.

Before.

After.

The “Color Extravaganza” at the end was by far the best part! My favorite was the teal color.

I had Tipped Out hair for a day!

‘Tis the Season

We’ve kicked off the holiday season with some fun activities lately! It smells like Christmas here in Arizona and I love it.

Tree lighting @ the Scottsdale Biltmore:

Movie in the Park @ the Biltmore – movie was Christmas Vacation:

Decorated Gingerbread houses with the fam:

Ours in the middle with the blackberry bushes, whipped cream snow and dog houses won 1st place!

Look at this soup that Rob’s Grandma Margie made. It involved mussels, crab, shrimp, and scallops – all of which I love. I hope they serve this in heaven!!!!!
