back to the beach

it was 75 and sunny in sf today so we headed to baker beach.

the kids walking hand in hand while collecting rocks to bring back to us. they were so cute together.

daddy burying ryder's legs

aaahhhh, i have no legs!

quinn thought that looked fun, so she did it too

relaxing night at home

we all love to have a nice chill night at home! home made pizza, a good movie, and then, of coarse, popcorn (oh, and some yummy cherries too).

the eagle has landed!

after what seemed to be the longest trip ever we finally made it back to sf! a long 5 hour car ride and then had to quickly board a plane, where our seats were rows a part, no one wanted to switch spots, i was sitting between some of the midwests finest corn feed gals, jesse and i were passing quinn back and forth, while trying to eat burritos, read books, chew gum so our ears would feel better, oh and restrain ourselves from cursing at the business man who had no idea how challenging it is for a 4 year to keep his legs still (yes, he was the man sitting in front of ryder, but did he want to switch seats when we were pleading with everyone, NO......go figure!). fortunately about 30 minutes into our flight a lovely passenger helped us out and then our family was reunited in one row:) we all did just fine, as for everyone else.....who f'in cares!

so excited to see the city! homey home home!!!

yeah, we are bad ass!

does this make my head look big?

i swear jesse always catches the smallest fish!

hmmmm, is this a keeper?

a little convo with grandpa, on the river in rhinelander, can it get any better than this!

just the girls

i found this picture and had to post it. it's from our stay in birchwood, when my girl friend laura was visiting, and then my wonderful friends, hillary and amanda (and her daughter lexie) came to visit us too. we all had such a great time together, and quinn enjoyed all the girls!!

relaxing before we head to rhinelander

after a full and exciting couple of weeks we are taking a few days to re-cooperate (ryder got a little run down). we head out tomorrow morning, where we will visit with the entire mangerson clan, and daddy (it's been over 2 weeks and we are all really missing him!).

time to get dirty

we went to the hunting cabin and went 4 wheeling. everyone got good and dirty and laura drove a 4 wheeler for the first time! the boys loved this adventure (and quinn was strapped to me in the ergo, she was just looking at the scenery). you just gotta love nature.
