Gotta love the family!

Over memorial day weekend Mike, Suzie and I met up with the parential unit in San Diego for the Szoka wedding. We had such a fun time seeing all the families again. Here are some pics from that night(mostly in the bar area of the hotel...what can I say)

Grandpa Day

This is Grandpa Hank Day and he is my dad's stepdad. We was a great man and loved our family like it was his own. He passed at the end of March and he will be missed. He is now in a better place and not hurting any more. Love you Hank

A Little Update!

Hey everyone...sorry I have been a bad blogger but with working 40 hours a week and wedding planning its been a busy time. Everything is coming together for the big day. I bought my dress which I love. All the big details are done...dj, bartender, florist, caterer. We now just need to get Mike dressed and all the wedding party which should be pretty easy. We also got a new addition to the family....We adopted a mutt puppy from an adoption agency here in town. His name is Sawyer (from Lost!). He is such a cutie and Maddie loves him. Doesnt like to share all that much with him but she will learn. He is soo little compared to her it is so funny. Mike keeps saying what did he get himself into!

Engagement Photos

These awesome pictures were taken by the talented Auburn Jones at the Mesa Art Center. I am so glad she took them..If you want any info on the girl let me know. She also helped with my save the date which I can't wait to send out. I'll post that after everyone has gotten theirs!

Christmas!

Here are some Christmas photos. You can see our little 6 foot tree that we got. This year was the first time I stayed in Arizona. Mom and Dad came out here too to celebrate my birthday and Christmas. We opened presents in the morning with just the 5 of us. Mike's mom came over for a little bit for breakfast. Then it was off to his brother and sister in laws house where Mike's dad and little brother Joe also celebrate and had a lovely prime rib dinner...dont mention that to Suzie she was not happy there was no ham! All in all it was a great day and I am glad everyone was together.

Christmas Card

Here's the Christmas Card that I sent this year! Not the best picture but whatever. Tonight was the start of Christmas decorating. Mike and Mike Ohara hung up lights outside the house. What a chore that was for them. We built our fake tree we got at Target on black friday and hung ornaments. I also found the stocking and hung those up. Pictures will be posted later. But everything is almost complete a few presents left to buy and thats it. It will be wierd spending Christmas not in San Diego but as long as the Brown clan is together thats all that matters :)!
