Everyone wanted to hold Brad's fish! ;)

Grizzly Adams himself! (our fisherman guide)

I hate this picture, but it's proof that I caught a pretty big fish too! We had so much fun fishing!!! We had a guide who had a boat with the sonar thingy on it and he knew right where to go, what kind of lures to use, and was pretty funny too! The fish I'm holding is a Coho and the big one Brad is holding below is a King Salmon. Our guide had a down rigger on his boat so it would take the line way down to where the fish were. He had it all down to a science. He even had a cool hook thingy that would remove the hook from the fish after it'd been caught, and set it free. We released all of the ones that we don't have pictures of. It would have costed a fortune to ship them home, so we donated our fish to the next group. We probably caught a total of 18 of these huge fish!

That is how he set them free!

Here's Brad's first fish . . .

Here's the monster!!!

Alaskan Wildlife!

Buchart Gardens

It was absolutely gorgeous at Buchart Gardens in Victoria, Canada. We didn't have enough time and it was crowded, but it was the most amazing place ever!

What's a reunion without the kids? It was strange for those of us without the kids! We had a nice picnic, potluck style, talent show, a few little classes on CPR, finances, etc., and did some shooting, then had a party only for the cousins that evening. It was pretty fun!

We did a little shooting. It was pretty fun trying to hit the clay pigeons, well fun for those that did hit them. I was another story entirely!

Before our Alaska trip we stopped in Idaho for the Myers Family Reunion. We had a little talent show. This is Brad's cousin, Jill, and her family. The reason I post this picture is so you can look at the little girl third from the left. She looks a LOT like Erin! So much so that I wanted to pack her in my suitcase and bring her home!

Aside from the silly face. . . see the resemblance?

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON trailer in HD

OK, now here's an UPDATE!! WHOOO HOOOOO! We love the poster! I just hope we can survive until November 20th!!! You NEED to click for the larger version so you can see Edward's little chest hairs! LOL!

Yea, okay, I am really bad about updating this thing! Here's the thing . . . NO TIME! Ugh, no time to clean the house, no time to put makeup on or fix my hair every day, no time to swim in my pool, no time to make dinner, sheesh, just not enough time in the day!

Color Guard

The season finale! The girls had a great year and put on a fantastic show! The show this year was called "Dark Road" after the song they used (by Annie Lennox), it's #1 on the playlist. (Anyone know why I have this dumb underline under all my posts now? I can't seem to get rid of it!)

Marlee in the middle of the blur

Yep, that's her under the right side of the "H"!

Cool action shot by my crappy camera

As you can see, Marlee is very graceful and is a huge asset to the group!

Miranda's face tells it all . . Brrrr!

Yes, our crazy kids have already been in the pool!

Fun with the Cousins!

Miya, Denton and Truman spent the night the other night. It's so fun getting all the teenagers together because they are just so funny & crazy! The other pics are me, Cara and our cousin Pam buying our copy of the Twilight DVD at midnight! They had a party with big Twilight cake!

Neighborhood Picnic

Brad and Erin at our neighborhood picnic! Our HOA planned everything with jumpers, raffles, lunch, a balloon guy, and VERY loud music . . . it's hard to get to know your neighbors with music that loud! We inherited some raffle tickets from some neighbors that left and we won twice - $15 at Rubios and $15 for i-tunes! Good times!

Erin & cousin Alexandra

Erin had fun not being the baby of the family for a day! She is going to be a great little mommy someday . . . and who better to practice on than Allie? She is so easy going and good natured.

Beautiful girls

It is just too cute how she kicks back with her arms behind her head!

Marlee went repelling off this cliff!!! The "4th year" young women had a campout a few weeks ago and did some pretty cool stuff like canoeing and kayaking, repelling, hiking around old Indian villages, etc. Arizona is a pretty cool state!
