Happy Anniversary Mommy and Daddy!

Two years ago today mum and dada were gettin' hitched! They have now been together almost seven years, and are the happiest they've ever been! Their wedding was beautiful; thank you again to our wonderful family and amazing friends who helped bring their dream wedding to life! Here are some of mom's favorites so you can reminice with them!

No peeking!

Pics were taken at the amazingly gorgeous Crystal Cove (look it up!), directly below the wedding location at Great Uncle Steve and Aunt Pammy's house.





They almost dropped daddy!

The beach house where the rehearsal dinner was held and mom and dad slept on their wedding night is just up those stairs. Steps to the beach, the sound of waves crashing all night, and built in the 1940's. Can't get any better than that.

'Auntie Johanna' is praying for/with mommy if you can't tell
ewww! gross!!!

See the ocean in the background? 180 view baby.


Off to sushi to celebrate! Love, Jake and Drew

River Rats! ...and River Cats!!

Mom says: "Aaaah...gotta love the annual river trip. Our wonderful aunt and uncle graciously open their hearts and house on the Colorado River to all of us each year. J has grown up looking forward to this exciting and fun trip, and now our boys will continue the tradition. Thank you again to our amazing family for providing this perfect getaway!"

Ok. finally my turn to talk. Geez mom. Anyway the river was sooo much fun! We were introduced to dragonflies, 111 degree heat, and a vicious doggy named Bitey, or was it Chompers? ;) It was a great first trip; we watched daddy try a 360 on the wakeboard, mommy and relatives get thrown through the air on the inner tube, and we floated down the river every day after lunch followed by a warm splash sesh in the baby pool. Here are some highlights:


I borrowed Unkie Brett's gel to add some suave debonair. I thought my mohawk would attract all the hot river babes but I never got to try it out because mom and dad said I was too young to date. Losers.
Our cousin Jesse from New York was visiting Aunt Kym and everyone in Temecula when he heard about our trip. Mom and dad liked having him around so much making quirky comments that they kidnapped him and brought him along! His 10 day trip to CA is now 3 weeks long!

Uncle Stevie's chair with daddy and us in it. Watch out daddy! I think Papa Bear is coming!
cutest. pic. EVER.

Awwww..cousin Hallie is sad because mommy (her favorite person ever) wasn't spending enough time with her. "Three lower lips"

Dude Hallie! what did u hijack the camera?! For freaks sake! Cute pic, though.

Hahaha! That's what u get!! Hallie demonstrating one of her many talents.

AHHH! Is that Chompers?! Oh, ahh ok it's only Paulie. Geez Paul way to scare us babies! Have you no shame?!

Jesse got up pretty quickly. This was him kickin' some bootie...


Gettin' some air!!

Woah!!! I'll let you figure out if he landed this one! He's got mad skills!



Here's a couple of daddy:



Oooh I hope I can grow up to be just like him!!

Mexican Jumping Beans

A glimpse at the craziness that was cliff jumping on our trip. It may look like nothing, but the taller cliff was at least 50 feet high!
