Tahoe trip

Travis and I took my bro to Heavenly for his birthday last weekend! I still fell, but I'm happy... no bruises this time! Yay! We had a fantastic time, it was sunny all weekend long, met up with a coworker on the mountain. Had a few beers, and almost fell off the lift (my bro dragged me down...it was hilarious!) But luckily no one got hurt. We went out to the casino's that night...partied, but lady luck wasn't on our side:( Maybe next time!
Can't wait to go back and get some more snowboarding in soon!!

New Years 2009!

Snowboarding in Willamette Pass, Oregon! We had a great time! I still have bruises in low places!! hahaha

All one really needs is a good couple of friends...some alcohol...and a board game, and that makes a great recipe for fun!! We surprised Travis' family for the new years. We were planning to keep it low key this year... or so we thought! The Kinyon's really know how to have a good time, and forget trying to keep up with them drink for drink...they each have two livers!!! Dan and Lacey were there two, and yup we party'd pretty good!! We danced, drank, laughed, lit fireworks, and played war with air-soft guns! We all celebrated the night away...save a few that couldn't hang:) My most enjoyable moment was tackling my sis-in-law (Amy) in the snow and making her my POW!!

Our New Year Faces!!

Liar's Dice....a cruel, debilitating, drinking game!

Gavin... up close and personal!

I had the pleasure today to meet a little man called Gavin; whom we've all been waiting for a very long time now! He's not the usual newborn infant you meet...he really knows how to make quit an impression! He hung on to me like a cute little monkey, but strong enough to lift his head off the floor, and not shy at all at passing the flatus! Therefore, he's a perfect little guy showing us already just how colorful he will be at giving his family much love, laughter, and excitement for years to come!

Samson's surgery

We took Sam yesterday to UC Davis for his scheduled appointment with an orthopedic MD for his left knee. He is "under the knife" today, and will be recovering in puppy hospital overnight. He will be getting a new ACL replaced since the poor guy was born with cruciate's disease that deteriorates the ACL ligament...poor puppy. Tomorrow Trav and I will be picking up little Sam from the hospital. I miss my doggy, can't wait to see him:)

Go Bears!

Last saturday... Travis took me out on a nice day to the Cal Bears game who beat Washington
48-7. We had great 40-yard line seats, 23 rows up. It was fun hanging out in Berkeley for the day, and drinking beer and eating hot dogs.

Xmas Tree Farm

We drove to Gilroy to the xmas tree farm, and went to cute down our tree! We took Samson with us...he enjoyed himself smelling and sniffing all the tress, and some children too!

Guitar Hero Rocks!!

So last monday, the last day we spent in Oregon, we let the children open one of their xmas presents before we left. It was the coolest present for children of all ages! Here's some pics to show how much the "children" enjoyed their cool gift! We had a great weekend with the Kinyons!
