Gabe's 26th Bday

Happy Birthday Lover Boy!!!

I can't believe Gabe turned 26. We are getting old. He still looks great though.

For his birthday Gabe wanted a Tres Leches Cake. I have never made one before, but I took on the challenge. The cake turned out so good. Mmmm!!! We are in fact addicted to it. Gabe wants me to make the cake all the time. But I have to say no most of the time since it is 20 Weight Watchers points per slice. And we can eat the cake just me and him in 2 days.
Before we had cake we went to the M Resort and had some yummy Italian food. Then we played some Craps. We walked away with a little extra money.

Scoob getting scolded for trying to lick the cake.


He wasn't to happy after that. :(

I just had a thought....
This was the 10th birthday that I have spent with Gabe.
Wow, I love that we have grown up together and experienced life together.

I love you, honey and I look forward to all the future birthdays we spend together.

Spontaneous trip to Magic Mountain

Spontaneous trip to Magic Mountain

On Friday night getting dressed to go watch a movie, Gabe decided we should go to Cali to Magic Mountain. So we packed up and headed out that night.

Fish cloud I spotted on the way there. Can you see it?

On Saturday, we went to Magic Mountain and had alot of fun. We hit all the roller coaster except for Super Man. For some reason we can never make it to Super Man. I will for sure next trip.

Then on our way home we stopped at this cool store called Charlie Brown's. It had food and any desert you can fry. The store had lots of different knicks knacks, antiques, and movie memorabilia to look at and buy.

The trip was alot of fun. Can't wait until we go again.

Paintball

Gabe and Dan went paintballing. Nathan came to visit and watch. And I came as the photographer. Gabe wanted some pics of him in action.

It was a really nice sunny day for March. They had alot of fun too, except for Gabe's gun kept breaking. Below is a pic of him fixing it for the millionth time.

Dan striking a pose.

Gabe getting into it.

Ski Trip to Brian Head

Secound to last Ski trip of the season
We took Scooby with us and rented a condo. Scooby loves the snow so he had lots of fun. Even when we took him out at night for a walk and it was 20 degrees. He wanted to keep going.

We had so much fun skiing this trip we had fresh powder which is always a plus.
We are getting alot better at skiing. Gabe has always been pretty good though. We went on alot of trips to Brian Head this season. Skiing is the only thing I will miss about winter.

Olivia

Olivia

In March of 2009 she found us at the park and jumped in our car like she belonged and she did immediately. She left us way to soon on January 11, 2011.

Olivia and Scooby became besties on day 1. There was no separating them. She was wild and crazy which brought out Scooby's youth from being middle aged.

She started out tough grew to be a softy. We rated her PG-13 due to her roughness. She attacked with many many kisses with that very long tongue of hers.

She loved balls and loved belly rubs even more. She loved playing catch and chasing anything that was fast enough. She loved attacking Scooby and biting his ears even our ears. She loved sleeping under the covers. She loved tug of war and would play it for hours. She had to win.

She got into everything. When she got caught she would show her belly in shame while still waging her tail. We love her very much, she is part of the family. We will miss her and her love for water. We will miss her cry when she sees us packing to leave and darting in the garage to make sure she is coming too. We will miss everything about her.

We will miss her unconditional love, her wet slobbery kisses, the cuddling in the morning before getting out bed for work, the horse playing and with out a doubt the family will always be missing a member.

Love You Olivia!!!!

Family in Brazil

We almost had the chance to go to Brazil for Christmas. It didn't work out due to flights. I wish it could have worked out. It has been a year and a half since I have seen Danielle, Clinton, Cj, Bianca, and Pai Ze. Even longer since I have seen Maria. Same for Adriana, Ricardo, and Murilo. And I have never met their new baby Diogo. Gabe gets to see them ever so often when he travels there for work. I miss them alot and hope we can make a trip up soon. It's long over due.

Love you guys!

Christmas with Mom

We spent Christmas day with my mom. We ate lunch at my brothers house (the doll house). He even broke his own rules and let my dogs inside. He was easy to break. We had fun, opened presents, ate good food, and the dogs got to run around in the field and get muddy.
