Halloween Night - October 31, 2010

CANDY!!! Insane the amount of candy the kids brought home! Maile was an Eskimo, Myles a Storm Trooper, and Ty dressed as Darth Vader. Shea will be in on the action next year!!

Halloween Party - October 22, 2010

My gosh....I must be crazy. I promised the kids another Halloween Party this year. Each one invited 3 to 4 kids.....that was before the storm came in!! Our Halloween Party was entirely indoors, pinata and all, due to pouring rain. Can you say CHAOS???? But, the kids had a great time!

Welcome Baby Shea - September 24, 2010

Shea Anna Murray entered the world on September 24th at 7:56am. This little bundle weighed 7 lbs, 9 oz and measured 18.5 inches long. Such a sweetheart and perfect addition to our family!

Don Pedro - August 7th

Boating! Mike and Lita hosted the Murray clan for a fun weekend at Don Pedro. The kids got to tube behind the boat ....which was a bit scary! But they loved just being on the boat and swimming. Ziggy loved the lake too!

Monterey - July 25th

We took a day trip to Monterey to see the Aquarium. The kids loved it! So much to do! And we also stopped at the Dennis the Menace Park - a very fun (and long!!) day :)

Giants - July 17th

Nate & I got to have a night out to see the Giants play the Dodgers! It was a great game - the Giants won! and the weather was sooooooo nice and cool. Such a great getaway from Roseville.

Bodega Beach

I just can't get enough of the beach! In July we camped with some friends at Wrights Beach in Bodega Bay. Such a beautiful area. The kids loved playing in the waves - and tracking down jelly fish! We even tried some fishing on the Russian River.

Santa Cruz

Ahhhhhhh...the Beach. In June we camped at Henry Cowell in Felton, and spent one day at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and another at Natural Bridges Beach. The kids loved running in the waves and checking out critters in the tide pools - and I loved relaxing on the beach!

Marine World

Summer fun at Marine World! As the kids get older they are loving the thrill rides more and more! Their favorites: Cobra and Monsoon Falls (on which they got soaking wet). This year - Maile was tall enough to go on ROAR - the large wooden roller coaster - and she LOVED IT!! Checking out the animals - especially the Walrus and the Shark Tank - are always a must!!

Safari West Jeep Tour

The day following our wedding ceremony - we took a jeep tour at Safari West. So much fun! I think our favorites were the giraffes and the silly ostrich who kept following our jeep! The kids loved sitting up top for a bird's eye view as well.

Wedding Day - June 6, 2010

On June 6th we tied the knot! Maile, Myles, & Ty were ecstatic to be a part of our ceremony - as were we! Overlooking Safari West from our cabin deck (tent #18) - we were thrilled to be joined by our immediate family.
