18 weeks

I can't believe we are almost half way there! Incubating is hard work and I finally have a little something to show for it!

By the way, it seems that most people have voted for "boy"....so we'll see.

Kids...

These two little girls belong to my brother....

Alexa loves to smile for the camera, meanwhile.....

Raya enjoys playing the game of smiling right AFTER you take your shot, and she knows when the camera is ready again, and she'll stop smiling. So, I decided to put this one up instead. Mean Auntie, I know.

If it's still November, then it's still my birthday!

Thanks Kathy for the great shots! Ryan had a bowling shirt made for me. It was perfect!

These are my awesome girlfriends who made the trek up from Newport, Los Olivos, and San Luis Obispo, to help me ring in my 30. It meant a lot to have them there.
Let me point out that I own my own bowling shoes.... Do you know which feet are mine?

I had so much fun at my party, and I owe my husband a huge thank you for not only putting it all together, but making sure I had a great time. He's wonderful, and I love him very much.

Day at the ranch

This past weekend we drove up to Petaluma to visit the McEvoy Olive Ranch. The scenery was beautiful. It was very crowded, so we are going to make a point to go back next spring for a smaller tour.

This lovely lady is Ryan's niece, Kaylah.

The rest of the afternoon was spent walking around Petaluma, taking in the river and shops.

Calling all Photographers....

I still haven't gotten any birthday party pictures to post.......

November Fun!

These past few weeks have been filled with activity and fun!
We were honored to be witnesses to Keri and Anthony's wedding in San Francisco....

And with as much dignity as I could muster...I accepted the dreaded Birthday Hat from Chevys. I had a great party on Saturday night, but not any great photos to prove it...so if any of you have them, please send them my way:) HELLO 3-0!!

Halloween

These are the people that I spend my days with.... Before halloween and the after. It's hard to get all of us together at one time, but we still try anyway.

I missed out this year because I was home sick. I never realized how much I loved Sudafed, until I couldn't take it. I miss cold medication.
