Happy Belated Birthday Samantha!!!

Samantha's Birthday was on Saturday and what a bad friend I am that I didn't post anything about it! Well, happy B-Day girl! Enjoy sunny Florida! (I LOVE the pic of you that I stole from Sally- thanks Sally!)

Does it Work?

So, I am giving it a shot at the last of the CA photo's I will post for now. I do need to mak ecommentary on all the photo's that I have previously posted. Well, My parents and I went on the Napa Valley Wine Train- a gift for my parents for their birthday's and me- because it was ON my birthday. It was so much fun and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. Later that night my parent's sweet neighbor Pamela came over with a German Chocolate Cake for me. Other photo's... Visiting with Rita and Jeff was loads of fun- way too much food, but that is to be expected! :) I even tried a little piece of the mushroom caps because they looked so good! (I HATE mushrooms like nothing I have ever hated...so I was proud of myself to try it. I keep trying to make myself like them, but I don't think that is going to work.) My Mom, Dad, Bro and Amy all met up in a town that I can't remember the name of and we scouted the area. We then celebrated my birthday as well as David's birthday since it was just a couple weeks after mine. We went to Fetzer Winery and had a great time there! It was a rainey day, so not alot of people were out- it was kind of nice to have the winery to ourselves! Also to celebrate my birthday my Aunt Jane and Uncle Tom, Cousin Karen and Toby came over for dinner. Toby is so funny! He is so smart- and "clever" as he at one point told me I was. I had an awesome time- I just wish it would have been longer- I always wish it was longer...isn't that how good times go? Too fast... Anyhow, I can't wait until I see you all again and thanks for everything. I love you!

It's in the Water

So you might be wondering, "Why is Beth drinking water when she could have had a beer or wine at the wedding a couple weekends ago?" Well, it's because I am pregnant! WOW! Can you beleive it? Yeah, Sam and I can't either- we just don't know how this type of thing happens! We found out about three weeks ago, and it still doesn't seem real! I am already in my 2nd Trimester and Baby Daane (Cletus the Fetus as Sam so endearingly has named the baby) should arrive at the end of November! Good thing we have a little more time to get used to this idea! All jokes aside, we are so blessed and honored that we will have a new edition to our family before the end of the year. (Congrat's Mom and Dad Mutkala (1st Grandchild) and Mom and Dad Daane (8th Grandchild).)

JP's Wedding

Sam and I were able to attend our friend JP's wedding to Kim this weekend. These are a few photo's I stole from my buddy Chin. :) Chin gets really creative with photoshope sometimes. Isn't that a great photo of the groom looking at the bride?

Miss You McMenamy's!

So the McMenamy's left us a couple weeks ago and I am finally getting around to saying Goodbye- I don't like Goodbye's! Anyways, this is from the Hlivko's house for their going away party. (The one Sam got his eye smashed at!) The girls.
The boys.

California

This is REALLY old! I was in California at the end of March and here are some pics of great times I had with friends and family! (For whatever reason I couldn't get the photo's uploaded the way I wanted, so in no particular order... My childhood friend Sky and her husband Dre, as well as Sky and I. My Mom, Me and Sophie and her siblings. My Dad, Sophie and my cat Whitney that lives with Mom and Dad. Ryan and I- my friend from GB who now lives in San Fran.)

Sam Got Beat!

By a TWO year old!!! Can you just beleive it? It was quite funny, and dear little Landry didn't mean to do it, she threw a ball without Sam knowing and he tried to catch it- didn't catch it and it hit his face. This actually looked GOOD! You should have seen it the next day! (Keep in mind this is an OLD post...from McMenamy's going away party about 2 weeks ago.)

Easter at the Daane's

Easter was a lot of fun...we had tons of food, a bunch of friends, babies and doggies! I couldn't get a good photo of all the people together and all the dogs together, but there were about 30+ people and 7 dogs! We even had a little Easter egg hunt for the kiddo's!
