family pictures.

i just thought i would share a few of the pictures my fabulous sister-in-law took for our christmas cards this year.

we hope you all had a wonderful christmas!

Halloween!

So we didn't have much of a Halloween this year because Lizzie was sick with a cough. Luckily, we went to a Halloween party at my uncle's house a couple weeks before so she was able to wear her cute angel costume. She also had an alligator costume that Todd bought her. Pictures of that are coming soon!

Huskies!

I am so proud of our Huskies! They beat Logan on Friday night (first time in 10 years) which earned them a spot in the play-offs as well as guaranteed them first in league! Can't believe I missed it, but Lizzie was sick with a cough. These coaches have put in so many hours preparing for their team and the players have really pulled together to become a success! Homecoming Friday and Todd's cousin Ashley Hess is up for Homecoming Queen! This has been an exciting season and we now look forward to play-offs!!

more camping pictures

Liz with her Auntie Jamie and Auntie Katie swimming in the middle of Lake Almanor.

Lizzie got a taste of some kind of candy which turned her tongue blue! She thought it was cool.

Mommy and Lizzie enjoying a nice boat ride. She really was enjoying it even though it doesn't look like it here!

Camping Trip #2

The second trip was with my family to Lake Almanor. It is a tradition! We have gone there every year since I was born, and actually my parents went there even before that. We always stayed and my grandparents cabin, but they are in the process of selling it, so we camped in my parents trailer. It was super fun and Lizzie had a great time with all of her aunties.

Camping Cutie

Lizzie had 2 camping trips this summer within a 3 week span! Her first one was at Eagle Lake 2008 with a bunch of our friends. Lizzie had a blast getting dirty and eating s'mores. She wasn't that crazy about boating, but I figured it was more the constricting livevest than anything else! She obviously wasn't too uncomfortable in it since she actually fell asleep while we were water-skiing. Too funny.

Out to Dinner

Tiff, Ashlyn, Liz & Me at Scott's Garden in Walnut Creek!

FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE!!

Well, it is that time of the year again. Todd and the other coaches at Washington have worked very hard to prepare their team. They looked real good at their first 4-way scrimmage of the season on Friday out in Concord. Can't wait to watch the Huskies tear it up on the field this year. So of course, I had to change my layout to orange and black and will probably keep it this way through November when we go to playoffs!

Lizzie is a little, okay who am I kidding, a LOT harder to take to the games. All she wants to do is climb the bleachers, which gives me a total panic attack. I am hoping she will take an interest to the game and be able to sit and watch here and there. Either that, or Todd will have to take her on the field with him! Hopefully she can get a field pass :)

The other bonus is my Grandma takes us out to dinner a lot during the season. Here we are at a little pre-game dinner, girls only!! The guys were very upset they couldn't come, but we decided we deserve it for all of the nights we are husband-less!!

UGHH!!!

So I know it has taken me quite some time to add a new post. My internet is really slow and everytime I try to add pics, it takes an hour and then boots me off! So I will just have to remember to bring my pics when I visit people with a faster connection! Next time I am at my Grandma's I will definitely add some pictures.

I feel bad because I have had like 7 people comment on how outdated my blog is and I am feeling pretty silly about it. Something must be done!! Hehe Sorry to those who live far and look forward to watching Lizzie grow through my blog : (

Love!

Busy Lizzie!

These days Lizzie gets into everything!! I literally have to watch her every move or else this happens! Guess it could have been a lot worse than the bathroom cabinets....

Liz's First National Beach Day with Dad!

What started as a day of fun as she laughs playfully in her sunglasses ended with "Um I'm buried in the sand and this is so not cool."
What a beautiful day!
Guys seriously, what's going on here?
Not funny guys. Not funny.

St. PaTrIcK's DaY

Lizzie enjoyed a day with her cousins, playing on the jungle gym! It was also St. Patrick's Day! (Notice the green)

Lizzie's First Time at the Zoo!

Mommy and Lizzie went to the San Francisco Zoo. It was so great to see her get excited with certain animals. She especially liked the gorillas, bears, and penguins. She was actually looking at penguins in the last picture, notice the eyebrow!

New bloggers!

Well, I've been wanting to create a blogspot ever since I saw Ryan and Melissa's. Today I decided to just do it. Todd is at school and Lizzie is sleeping. Perfect time! I will definitely have to put some pictures up soon. We're moving this weekend so adding fun touches will just have to wait. Not exactly sure what I'm supposed to say at this point. This screen just sort of popped up and I have no idea where it will even tie on with the page. Guess I'll find out!
