Yosemite Trip

This year we finally got to join a huge group of friends on their annual trip to Yosemite. There were about 20 kids ages 2 to 10! We had such a great time, despite some undesirable weather. We could only go Friday to Sunday, but we made the most of our time and had a wonderful trip!

Raif wants more!

Waiting for the shuttle

I think she wanted on her Daddy's shoulders.

On our little hike to Happy Isle

Raif needed a snack to get through the walk

Just beautiful

The way the wood split was so beautiful

Bailey called this the fairy tree

Strike a pose

There are so many beautiful birds

The water was moving

We loved the little bit of water peeking through the rocks

More snacks

It was getting a bit wet

Should I get even wetter?

Yup!

You can't see it, but there is a fox in between the trees

Such beautiful waterfalls

Clouds moving in for a night filled with rain

More clouds coming in

Nighty night

I'm glad the shelf was there

Cabo May 2011

We once again traveled to Cabo for our 2nd annual Memorial Day Trip. We had a ton of fun with a great group of friends. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Man down, Curtis had a little siesta at dinner but somehow managed to rally back!
Miles and Colby up on stage at The Office

Fishing for marlin, Colby is hooked up!

Beautiful fish!

We thought he might jump in the boat before we released him!

3 world famous celebrities, at lease we though we were! Tawny, me and Yvette.

Masquerade ball at the hotel, I am now inspired to throw a masquerade party myself!

The crew decked out in our masks! Note: if you have the stingy stuff under your mask, you need to drink through a straw!

Yes, we moved the couch and light fixture out of Curtis and Yvette's room for our after party! And....they let us!

Dance Pictures

Yesterday was dance picture day. Bailey was TOTALLY into it and had her hair all planned out, with a little guidance from me. I was a bit nervous since I had to do her hair, since my mom is still on her trip. I think we managed to pull off a pretty cute look. Bailey is a doll in the recital, and I think she looks just like one!

Outside the house
She started posing on her own.

I mean seriously, how cute is this one?

Another mom offered to take a picture, it's not the best, but it is better than if Raif took it!

Couldn't resist one with her brother.

They did a little practice run after pictures.
