HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Mom's 40th (cough cough 60th) Birthday is tomorrow 12/28/09

My Dad did a great job planning a surprise brunch with 13 of her close friends at the
Tustin Ranch Golf Course.

She did NOT want any "hoopla" for her birthday and started threatening getting on an airplane and leaving town when she thought we were up to something. But it turns out she was totally surprised and had a great time!

This is her "I don't want to go to Brunch cause I know your up to something" face

Then I distracted her and had her make the famous Tegan Meartz face...hahah

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2009

This Christmas was great!!

We opened presents and took the dogs for a walk. Then we went to Salt Creek Beach, just like the good 'ol days with the Maertz' and played football and played in the waves. That night we had dinner at the Maertz'.

It was really great....but we did miss Tyler!
