Disney on Ice

Kalle and Joey with their loot

Kalle and Aunt Becca

Meredith and I (the aunts) took Joey and Kalle on a date to Disney on Ice this past week. They had soo much fun! Kalle dressed up like Cinderella and was quite the princess. Joey loved the Cars portion and Kalle loved the Little Mermaid.

Last Weekend of Wakeboarding for the Year......goal achieved!!!

Every time we go wakeboarding Kalle asks if I want to pretend to be a pirate with her. This time our buried treasure was Kalle's favorite snack....Cheetos. We have a fun time mixing fairytales and pirating with wakeboarding.

Blair getting some sweet air

good water!

Captain and First Mate (Tysen)

here is Kalle girl and her dad. She loves it.

This summer I really wanted to land an Indy Grab. I hadn't tried at all last summer, mostly because I didn't feel like I was getting enough air to even attempt one. But the last few times we have gone, Blair has said that I'm getting high enough that I can do it. So....I tried, and after a few attempts....VICTORY!!!! It's nothing grand or remarkable, but an achievement just the same. I was pretty stoked. It was a pretty great day.

(notice the grin and the waving arm...such a cheerleader)

Biking in Cd'A

we went for a bike ride with Blair's sibilings and our nieces and nephews a couple weekends ago. We had a lot of fun. It was downhill the whole way into the lake.....and uphill the whole way back...which pretty much was a killer! Here's us at the halfway point for the ride. it was windy and started to rain on the way back. Quite the adventure!
My Main MEN

Me and Lukie (windy, you can tell by the bangs!)

Lukie was loving the ride.

at the beginning, before the butt burn

Happy Birthday to me! (oh ya, and America too!!)

This picture pretty much sums up our entire weekend, so I thought I would start with it! There were so many smiles, so much love, and so much chaos, it was great!!!

Eden and I put our makeup on together the last morning I was there. She kept saying

"I need more lips!"

Katie and I right before we dug into the awesome chocolate cake Katie made me!

Barbara enjoying the perks of being a grandma, but not at the same time :)

Barbara is one of my family's oldest and dearest friends. She has definitely inherited some baby holding rights!

Georgia Belle chillin with her Uncle Blair

Eden is eyeing Jared in this picture, seconds before she nails him in the nose! They were just teasing, but she got him pretty good!

Naomi enjoying her sparkler! On Saturday she ran up to me right after I woke up and gave me a huge kiss and said "That was your birthday kiss, cause its your birthday Aunt Becca" (it was really cute!)

on Sunday we had the opportunity to go to the blessing of our newest nephew Dean Abram. He's a sweetheart. Here he is with his sister Tavie.

Eden's first sparkler. Last year she was just a little to young to hold it.

Georgia on mama's (Hannah's) shoulder, after a long day of fun, little does she know that she is only minutes from being woken up by screaming firecrackers

Pajama time on the porch swing. Eden's got the best hair!

Georgia and I at the Fourth of July Parade in good ole Challis, Idaho!

Blair and I drove to Challis for the Fourth and had a really great time. A lot of my family was there including some of the most beautiful little girls you've ever seen before! We had a blast playing together and catching up! You've gotta love family!

Our Third Anniversary....can you believe it!

We went to the Melting pot for our anniversary on Tuesday. We had soo much fun. The food was so good and the whole setting was really fun and entertaining. We had lobster, filet, sirloin, pork, chicken, and shrimp! They bring out chunks of all this meat for you to cook at your table and then they have 8 dipping sauces to try them all with. SOOOOOO GOOD! We had turtle fondue for dessert (chocolate and caramel) and had all the yummy fruit and cake to dip it in. Needless to say it was awesome and we were full. Blair got me a beautiful coral colored leather HOBO international clutch for my present, and I got him a new wallet and a wakeboarding ballast pump. We made out like bandits!

Bye Durango..No don't Cry..It's not you, It's me

Feel bad for me, really :(

Well, sadly, we have moved on. We sold the Durango yesterday. It was soooo sad! I cried, I'm not gonna lie. A guy in the valley bought it for his 16 year old daughter, and all I could think about was how many things she was going to run into. Poor Durango. These are the final pictures of our Durango...Now on to the new love I guess

Portland and the Oregon Coast

Blair and I decided to take a weekend and go to the coast. It worked out perfectly because Gonzaga was playing in Portland the day we were headed to the coast. Blair did some business in Hood River on the way and then it was fun from there on out! We had such a good time and are excited to do it again!! Monstrous Wave!

This is one of my favorite pictures from our trip. The second night we stayed in this place called the Looking Glass Inn that was right on the water in Lincoln City. We went out to the water and watched all the sea lions play. It was fun. A dog actually chased a few of them!

Our first dayin Oregon we went to the Gonzaga vs. Akron game. It was really fun and we got pretty good seats too! We were in a litte cluster of Gonzaga fans.

Victory! Too bad it only lasts so long.

our first night in Portland we walked around down town and had some good food! We stayed at a hotel on the river (a very water-themed vacation).

Here is me and one of my good friends Abe. We were buddies ever since middle school! it was really great to spend some time with him. He showed Blair and I around Portland and had lunch.

ooooooo the Cheese!!! Tillamook! Blair's pretty much favorite food is Cheese.

what a perfect place for both of us, because my favorite thing to eat is Ice Cream!

is that a Cullen in the trees?!?

Cape Kiwanda (sooo beautiful)

Here's Blair on our way up the coast to Cannon Beach.

Light House at Cape Mearse

gigantic seaweed! EWww!

it was windy, but beautiful

Here is the Haystack rock on the coast at Cannon Beach. We found this great little townhouse to stay in and loved the town and the water. We stopped at Pacific City on the way up and would have no problems with visiting there again. it was unbelievable!

Carter is Home!!!

Thank you all for keeping the Rex Family in your prayers!! Their sweet little one got to go home with them on Sunday. Avery is loving him and loving being a big sister. I'm so excited for them and its so wonderful!! We love you Rex Family!!!

ok...so its been forever

here we are freezing in Twin Falls at the bridge. it was sooooo windy and cold!!!

Here is miss Tavie Lynn. She's such a cute girl! she loves this book called "I love you stinky face" and she had it while we were there in Twin Falls. She kept telling Blair to read her "stinky face" it was really cute.

as many others can admit, we love Wii. We stopped at Sarah and Evan's home on the way back from Arizona. We ended up having a really great time with them. Blair was the tennis champion, sarah the bowling champ, Evan the golf champ, and me boxing...we all had our moment of fame.

amazingly we are snuggled and watched horton hears a who. Avery is my buddy, but if her mom is around she would much rather snuggle her, so its pretty impressive that we got all comfty!

Avery and I kept playing under the table. Avery is so funny. she is the happiest little girl you will ever meet.

Here is Avery donned in her Bobby's (aunt becca) hat and scarf. I'm not sure if I said this before, but Avery named me Bobby. While I was there over Christmas she did not want to call me Aunt Becca. Instead she named me Bobby. Even when Abby would point to me and say "aunt Becca", Avery would correct her with a smile and say "Bobby". One day Hannah and I stopped over to hang out for a while and Avery got sooo excited. She looked back and forth between us saying "Bobby, Ha, Bobby, Ha" it was great. (she calls hannah, Ha)

Elyse just chillin on uncle Blair's new long board

This is Alec. he's a kick! We love him so much!



For Christmas Blair and I stayed in Spokane and had Christmas out at the Roland home in Post Falls. I flew the day after Christmas down to California and spent a week with my family. While I was flying Blair drove his Aunt and Mom to Arizona where he hung out for the week. We met back up together in Pheonix and made the long drive to Spokane. We hit some pretty crazy snow storms, but we made it home alright. It was so wonderful to see family. We even stopped in vegas and saw Grandma and Aunt Donna. it was wonderful. We hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and holiday season.
