In April we took our first ever cruise with the Kellers to the Mexican Riviera. We had all the kids and that made it even more fun. Other than a few bad days from food poisoning (ugh) it was heavenly. :)

In July we went to Oceanside, CA and had a fun family trip. We just had fun being together after so long even though not everyone could make it. We had some good game nights. The little ones played at the beach, in the hot tub, and ate snacks all day.

Next Blair and I went on a jeep trip through Flagstaff and spent a fun day with Bruce and Jody. Then we went to Canyon Dechelly and drove the bottom of the Canyon with a Native American guide. Then onto to Durango Colorado and met up with my two favorite cousins - Trice (and John) Kezer and Tim (and his new wife Jenny) Turner. We walked around the lake, (Blair even tried fishing) we played games, laughed and talked and remembered how important these extended family connections are.
In Sept we went to Georgia to see Josh and Heidi and stay with their kids while they went on a well deserved "holiday" to London. Blair and Lindy went for the weekend then I stayed for a week. We also got to meet Denise, a darling foreign exchange student from Sweden and Lissie, their new tiny dog. We went to ballet and soccer, had a sleep over, and visited Isabel's massage parlor. And sweet Grace patiently helped me with my blog again since I had forgotten most of my first lesson with Annie. (She made it cute too.) Thanks darlin! I'm trying...
And finally, in Oct. we made another trip to Colorado by jeep. Blair had a PT conference in Denver and received an award for his contributions to the profession. (he doesn't talk about it). Lindy had fall break so we stayed two nights in Teluride and saw the beautiful fall colors and "the lake of shining water", an old mining town etc. In Denver we went to the zoo with Trice's daughter Linzeej, her cute husband Tom and their 3 boys, Clive, Miles and Wes.
And that is the end - for now. We do stay home MOST of the time .... so I'll try to post some "at home life" pictures next time ....(if I find the courage to tackle this time consuming project again!)
