Holidays 2012-2013

 Because Adam was going to be in Alaska over Christmas this year, we had our own little celebration before he left.  Meager I know, but it did the job.
 
 I wasn't aware, but I guess he was a good boy this year :)
 On my first night back in Ohio we went to a Greek restaurant (sort of) where I had the best lamb I've ever tasted.  It was amazing.
 As most of you know, while home Karen and Sarah put on a bridal shower for Adam and me at Pat and Karen's house.  As usual, the food and company was excellent.

 My momma and me.
 Tea party.


 Just one, of my NINE, sets of Fiestaware!  Everyone's coming to dinner!
 Need about 9 suitcases to get that all back to Vegas :)
 On New Year's Eve Gina and I went over to Tony's and did a little sled riding.  Even though I've become a huge baby when it comes to the cold, it was a really fun time!  Gunner was obsessed with the boogie board.  He'd chase you down the hill and then carry it back up - kinda convenient!
 Gunner to the rescue!  This hill actually worked pretty well once we got it packed down, contrary to how crappy it looks.
 Gunner LOVED eating the snow.
 I just think he's so pretty against the white snow.

 
It felt like prom - Mom had to take pics before going out for New Year's Eve :)

Calcium Chloride and Sodium Chloride company.

The old Kelso Depot with newly reopened diner - pretty cute!
I tried to leave them there but they broke out :)

Rain

 One of the two exits into/out of Blue Diamond - now a river.

 

There isn't usually water here.
A couple of unexpected lawn mowers that I let in when I left the gate open.  With all the rain I would let them in more often if it wasn't for the poop!  (P.S. our lawn looks much more lush now, this was earlier in the summer)

"The" Ring


Here is a better picture of the Beautiful ring that Adam gave me.  It's a rough cut diamond and the gold is actually white even though the picture doesn't exactly look that way.    I love it!

Hello World!

 This little guy was born in a nest on our hangboard.  I think there are at least 2 others in there.

Family Visit

 My Dad, Gina, and I took a trip out the new bridge over the Hoover Dam.  There were about 40mph winds with gusts which made it pretty exciting!



 My mom's sisters and the fam all came over and Gina and I made them breakfast.  Close quarters but I think everyone had fun!

 Pretty ladies waiting for our table at Serendipity III
 The famous "frozen hot chocolate"


 Gina and I took a quick two day trip to San Diego.  It was her first time to the west coast. 
 The Hotel del Coronado - amazing
 I adore poppies

 Our favorite part of the trip was visiting La Jolla - so beachy and beautiful
