Matt's brother Dan and his family came to visit us this last weekend. It was so good to have them here and take them to some neat places here in Brookings. Their little girl, Hannah is such a cutie...and she loves me. Haha!

These are all from my yard at the new house we're at. Oregon is soooo beautiful!

Matt's new favorite thing is our new boat...new to us anyway. We all went out in it for the first time to pick up our crab pots. It was so much fun. Gavin really liked it too until we turned the engine off and after that he was whining and crying that we were going to be stuck out in the ocean and never be found...poor kid. I'm not sure he's as much as a ocean fisherman as his daddy.

Matt kept telling me about the huge starfish he kept catching in his crab pots. I was for sure he was exaggerating when he told me how big they were...he was not. They are HUGE!

Yummy Halibut! I've actually gotten pretty good at filleting fish.

Grammy and Grandad came for a visit and the boys loved them...Sadie and Macey not so much. We went and swam in the Chetco River and took a little walk through some Redwoods.

I went to San Diego for Nicole and Jared Holt's wedding! It was so much fun! I can't believe these are the only pictures I took. Nicole was so beautiful and Jill was too! I can't believe the bride was doing the hair!!! Jill was the most important person there, though...right? Haha!

Not only was the wedding great. Being with Nicole and Jill and Suzette was so much fun and with NO kids! I think this was a first for me. I think I need to get out more.

This is my beautiful sister playing in her band...The Wobots.
