Jon and Brittney's Wedding

There were so many reasons that made our trip to Tahoe fun and special: getting to be a part of Jon and Brittney's wedding, beach days, etc., but at the top of the list was getting the chance to see my niece, Lyvia, and nephew, Grayson. Grayson is adorable, and already bigger than Carson, even though he is 3 months younger, and Lyvia is an awesome big sister. It was really fun to spend time with them. The wedding was lovely and original, not to mention really, really fun. I don't have a ton of pictures of Brady because I spent most of the time video-taping his crazy dance moves (to be posted soon). J and B seemed so happy throughout the whole celebration. We were so happy to be there.

Tahoe: Carson's First Beach

If we could have stopped Carson from eating sand, we would have stayed at the beach all day. Brady, of course, enjoyed himself, as he always does, and Carson fearlessly crawled directly into the water face first. I wish we could have stayed longer!

The Last of Yosemite

Napa and Tahoe pictures to come (including wedding shots...those were hard to narrow down, too!)

Not Taking the Hint

So, I have often been the one, bleary-eyed, looking absent-mindedly through someone else's vacation pictures. I KNOW that looking at other people's pictures is NEVER going to be like actually going to the place, but I can't help it...there's just no real way to narrow our 400 pictures of this beautiful place down to 4, so you are stuck with these posts, as well as the ones that are coming...and at least there are people in the pictures...I have not yet stooped to posting scenery. Believe me, I was tempted, but no picture can accurately capture just how amazing Yosemite was, so why bother! PS - Carson was just as rivited.

Yoooo-semite!

No, don't adjust your computer screen...that's really me wearing Carson on my back, and looking all "outdoorsie". I can't even begin to tell you how amazing Yosemite was. We stayed right outside of the park and spent every day hiking and taking in the sights. I'm just so happy that places like this still exist. I wish they were a little closer to home!

Dum Dum Da-Dum:Wedding #1

Unfortunately, I didn't get too many pictures of Blaise and Jenny's wedding because I was busy trying to be a good bridesmaid, and Jeremy was busy trying to make sure that Brady was a good little ring-bearer, BUT, it is obvious from these pictures just how beautiful Jenny looked, just how happy the "happy couple" were, and just how much fun everyone had. I didn't want it to end! When the photographer posts his pictures to his website, I will pass them along!

One Lucky Gal

Seriously, look at my awesome family. Do I get a prize or something?!
