Valentine's Day 2010

Our Valentine's Day celebration this year was (Saturday Feb 13th) a trip to Monterey with Heidi and Vijay, AND NO KIDS! :) It was actually our Christmas gift from Heidi and Vijay, so they treated us!
Our first stop was in Scotts Valley to visit Uncle Elwin and Aunt Vonnie. Our second stop was brunch!

Then we walked down to the boardwalk and enjoyed the sites.

From there we were going to take the 17 mile drive, but unfortunately it was closed to the public due to the golf tournament! So...

Third stop- Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. It was gorgeous! Absolutely AMAZING!

The waves were HUGE! The pictures don't do it justice. It was truly amazing.

Our forth stop was Carmel. We walked around town, got some treats and headed down to the beach. Unfortunately, the beach was closed! We had even brought wood to build a fire. :(

So we found a nice bench that overlooked the beach.

Cheers! Happy Valentine's day!

My 30th...

So I turned 30 this year! (Yes, me, Amy.) I was really dreading it, but, now that I've been 30 for a month I've realized that it's not that bad! It's GREAT, in fact! As for celebrations, Nate did a fantastic job of surprising me with a party- I had NO idea. And then the next day after Anna's party, Nate watched the kiddos so Adawna and I could go out for some "girl" fun. (BTW: Adawna flew down from WA to visit me!) We grabbed some Taco Bell cause we were starving! (We got so busy putting Anna's party together, we forgot to eat lunch.) Then we went to the mall, looked in a few stores, and then headed to the Nail Salon:). We both got spa pedicures- ah, it was so nice! (I hadn't had one in over a year!) It was so nice to be out just us girls. After pedicures, we sported our disposable flip flops through target to get some milk and diet coke. Then it was off to the casa. We forgot to take pictures while we were out, but Nate got one before we left and then took a couple after... These are the AWESOME flip flops...

Thanks for coming, Adawna! I miss you already!

Anna Turned ONE!

It's a bit late...

But our little Sweet Cheeks, Anna, turned ONE on January 31st! It's hard to believe a whole year has already come and gone. Here are some pictures from her birthday celebration...

Cake time...

Presents...

Grandma Enns reading to Anna and Jonathan after the festivities.

Our 1 year old:

Anna is a special gift from God. She... is very active (always opening my cupboards and pulling my towels down:), crawls all over, walks with help (and just a couple of days ago she took 2 steps without holding on!), smiles easily, dances to music and tries to sing along, claps her hands, waves, loves to play with big brother, loves food:), and she says a few words: Uh-oh, mama, dada, hi, bye, wf wf (doggy), dank-ou (thank you), peez (please), and she signs "more" and "all-done", and she's recently started trying to copy words we say. We love you, Anna Christine Enns.

Christmas - Round 3 &4

Round 3 was at Nate's Parents house! We had a very nice dinner, read the Christmas story, and opened gifts. We spent the night there and got to hang out some more the next day (Christmas morning) before flying out to WA that night.

Christmas morning baths!

Here comes round 4...

Flying to WA!

Out for a walk in the beautiful Washington air...

The next few pictures got out of order and I just can't get this thing to work.. ugg! So anyway, these are pictures of our visit to the Capital building.

Hangin out...

And the gift giving begins!

Alissa and Erik's gift to us all was: tickets to see White Christmas at the 5th Ave Theatre! (And free babysitting!) It was absolutely wonderful!

Grandma and Grandpa's gift to the kiddos was a day at the Children's Museum and Spaghetti Factory lunch! (So we got to enjoy it too:) We also took a stop at the Capital since we were right there.

Woops, this one is from White Christmas:)

Grandma and Grandpa also treated the adults to dinner and babysitting! mmm.. BJ's!

Black Diamond...

It was definitely a Christmas to remember. Time with family is so sweet. And we recognize that it is all because of Christ that we are able to be united in love, sharing in the joy of His birth, death, and resurrection.
