Yuba

These are the pictures of our one camping trip this year. It made up for our lost summer though. It was really fun to have some fun in the sun and water as you can see from these pictures.

Gregg learned how to surf behind the boat this year. He got up the very first time. The hard part was letting go of the rope and staying on the wake though. Maybe that's something he'll master in years to come.

Some candid "Alexander" moments.

Brad got this really cool shot of Hercules. He ran and ran all day long, it was the most times he has ever caught his frisbee.

This pretty much shows how tired Herc was after running all day long. If any of you know him he does not tire easily.

Boise is "Suite!"

While Gregg was in Arizona, I got to go to Idaho and spend time with my family. Most of it was spent in Boise and we had a blast. Here is a few pictures of my trip.


This is my nephew's birthday at Boondocks. (yes Boise has one too) We had such a good time that I didn't get a ton of pictures because I was playing too much. Erica has a good pic of my dad and I go-carting, which I'll have to post later. We even did laser tag a few times and we thought we had a good strategy, but we still lost each time. Maybe next time.....darn teenagers! I think the adults had more fun than the kids. I ended up with a key chain and some candy, worth ten bucks in tickets. Good ol' arcades gotta love em!

Here is some pictures from the football game we went too. We got the nice suite with hotel room and all including room service! Hence the name of my title. I really felt cool when we got to go a special way to the food only VIPs get! As Gregg would say "Booyah!"

It's summer?

Boy what a summer it has been! Most of you know Gregg got a new job and has been in licensing and training all summer. He finally came home last night from Arizona and we are so relieved! It has been a long road, with Gregg studying for eleven hours a day to taking grueling tests, but he's finally done and we can take a big breath. Anyone ready to party?

A Family Weekend to Remember!

We had family come in for the weekend and it was a real treat! We stayed busy all weekend and even managed to have an easter egg hunt. Here are a few pictures of some of the events.

It's my birthday, but I don't even know it!

Today is Herc's 2nd birthday! I can't believe what a big boy he's becoming. They say two is when they get out of the puppy stage and calm down a lot so I'm looking forward to that. Herc blesses our lives so much. It's strange how much joy an animal brings into your home. A lot of people roll their eyes when I talk about my baby boy, but I can't help but love him and fuss over him.
Here's a few shot of Herc catching his ball. He will play forever and ever if you let him.

If you've ever played fetch with Herc you'd appreciate these pictures. I love how they capture his hands in the air. He's the only dog I've seen that tries to catch the ball in his hands.

This picture cracks me up.

Christmas time!

This is Christmas morning at the Alexander's house where we had breakfast.


Staci playing with her DS.

Lacey playing with her DS. I'm not sure if we're playing against each other or not, but we were darn excited for this present!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was at our house this year and it turned out very well. I actually cooked for everyone, which is a big suprise. We had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and home made gravy. It's not a traditional dish for Christmas time, but it's my specialty and I like to stick with what I'm comfortable with. Here is just a few pictures of the big event!
