Family photos on the beach

We had our family photos taken on May 30th, with our amazing family photograher Alicia Jane Bias...she came all the way from Utah to do this, and is so amazing! Anyway, this is just a little sample of what she's done, we're just waiting for the real ones to come in. Anyway, even though I'm totally un-photogenic! She managed to make me look okay...tee hee! My kids and grandchildren are of course absolutely beautiful!!

How to host a muder party!

A few weeks ago, we threw a "how to host a murder" party with some of our friends from church. We cooked a 6 course dinner, and Amanda, and Brittany and their friend Emily were our butlers, and served our food for us while we played.

Here is the room where we had it (this is actually how the house is set up permanently now)

Neil and I

Jeff and Jennifer Waters

Rick and Rachel Morales

Playing the Game

So as part of our dinner, we had purchased some non-alchoholic wine, and herbal tea that tasted like coffee. so we thought this picture was funny. a bunch a mormons looking like they were drinking.

The whole gang

Jennifer Waters was the killer, can you tell?

Sailboat Cruise with friends!

For the past 2 years we have taken our friends out on our sail boat for a week vacation. it is a lot of fun. We did a navy themed cruise this year, and went to catalina. you can see the invitations we sent out and pictures of our wonderful trip below.

Catching up...day one!

Okay...so obviously I'm not so good at staying current on my blog.
I am grateful to say though, that I have seen the error of my ways, and now make a vow
To do better! Wish me luck :)
Since I am currently using my cell phone to update today...I won't be adding any photos until tomorrow, when I'll be back home. This declaration to do better will have to suffice for now.
