2008 in Review - Spring Part 1

Deck Remodel
First Phase April & May
Our Spring started with tearing down our old deck and building a new one.

Destruction of the old deck started 4-21-08.

The old deck is gone and the new structure is going in.

My Dad, Darin and his Dad - wondering what they got themselves into!

5-2-08
Elissa's first "short" hair cut just before she turned 4.
It was unintentional. I asked the lady to just cut about 2in off and she just kept going higher and higher trying to get Elissa's hair even. She finally stopped when I was about to tell her to stop. Darin says that it is cute and sporty. He loves "sporty". It will be nice for summer.

Cabo San Lucas Trip
5-8 thru 5-12-08

Kirstin planned a surprise trip to Cabo for her husband, Kirk, turing 40. There were 4 couples and we had an absolutely FABULOUS time! Kirk was completely surprised. We can't wait to go on another trip together.

Our beautiful view!

Dinner at the Japanese restaurant (not the best but fun).

Payton's 4th Birthday Party
Payton and Elissa are 3 days apart. His birthDAY is May 26th. It is pretty special to have my best friend's child close to my first child.
