Pony ride at Nana and Papa's

Playing in the mud puddles

They started out just jumping over the puddle and this is how they ended up..... just as we were about to get in the car for Target.

Last snow before spring

There was just enough to build the snowman.
Everyone enjoyed the snow. It was mostly gone by the end of the day.


Dean's Birthday Party

We had his party at Pump It Up. He had to have an "all boy" party- no girls allowed (except his sister).
Wall-E cake.









Happy Birthday Dean!

We celebrated at Rainforrest Cafe.

Klueppelberg- party of 5!!!!!!!!!


Klueppelberg baby #3 is on the way! We are so excited and can't wait to share all our news with our friends. I told my parents and the news has now leaked out! So I had to make a group announcement before my friends from Fitzgerald heard it from someone other than me. Wish I had time to call everyone! I am due October 6!

Lorene and Jason

I took Lorene and Jason's picture at Rocky Point Rest. I love this picture of them. Even going through chemo, Lorene still looks beautiful.....kinda Audrey Hepburn-ish in her scarf and big sunglasses. And here's jason. If anyone deserve family man of the year, it's this guy. He has stepped up where some men would not go. He has a loyalty to his sweet family that must be God given. What a virtue. They do not have an easy road ahead but with God's love, they can walk it.

Lorene (Jeff's sister) and Jason at our table over looking the Pacific.
Our outdoor table was awesome. it was the most beautiful day. It was like air-conditioning outside.

The view from our table.


What a view from our table! You will never eat anywhere more beautiful. Thank you Lorene and Jason!




Cousin Paige poses for pictures





Bubba Gump Shrimp

We ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp in Monterey.

Pacific HWY.

We took a drive on the Pacific HWY. (US 1?) This beautiful drive is only minutes from their house. Just a few miles up the road.


Huge hills just come out of the ocean.







Carmel

We took a drive to Carmel.
There were so many cute cottages on the beach in Carmel. Some of them looked like little Snow White cottages.





Dennis the Menace Park in Monterey

They had an old engine that the kids could play all over.
Dean and Jase getting on board.

Dean is following in Uncle Michael's footsteps.



Paige, Jase and Dean.



Dean and me in Monterey CA

The 1st day we were there we went to the beach. Of course, the sunset was beautiful.
This is Dean and his cousin Jase.

It was cool out but the water was colder Dean found out. He fell face forwards into the Pacific Ocean. This picture was taken just before he fell. I don't know how he can stand that cold water on his feet.


This is our little cousin Paige. Such a cutie!




No ones camera shy around here

Elle wanted her picture taken in her Belle dress.
And again in her Cinderella dress.

Dean had to get in on the picture taken.


Such a ham!



Curly Hair Elle




When it was humid one day a few weeks ago, Elle's hair curled up all over so had to take pictures.


Daddy Love

Loving on daddy.
