Pirate's Cove!

for brian's work we got to go to pirate's cove in boulder city, nv near las vegas for 3 days. words can not describe how awesome it was. prior to going i knew it would be great, but i had no idea how great. the whole Neff office and the families of the employees got to go. the purpose for the trip was to shoot the spring/summer 2012 Neff catalog. but for the wives and kids it was all for fun!. Pirate's cove is a vacation home for the owner of Nuskin. it is a 20 room, 25 bathroom mansion. it took brian and i about an hour to explore the whole place. it has a full gym, an indoor basketball court, 3 pools, 2 amazing water slides, huge platforms (actually crows nests on the mast of a ship) for jumping good food, an ice cream and slushy machine right outside our door and the list goes on. our bedroom had a sauna and steam shower in the room! it was unbelievable and the whole place is covered with pirate themed things and skeletons. navy has been obsessed with pirate's of the caribbean for a few months now so for her this place a dream come true. i didn't take many pictures cuz i was in the water most of the time and the few i have in no was do it justice. there was a photographer and video guys there the whole time though so i'll show those when i can, but for now here you are:

the Neff's took care of everything. they are so generous. brian's job is amazing. we are so lucky!

so much fun

so we are back from Bonner's Ferry and it was awesome! i love to go to my parents house. navy can play outside, bug hunting, mud painting, hiking and adventure seeking. my dad FINALLY got to meet audio and they are the best of buddies.

"dog food art" navy disappeared for 20 minutes one day and when i found her she had made this. a rose on the left and Dumbo in a party hat on the right. i love this girl!

me and my babes!

i love those two faces!

So i know our families mostly just wants to see pictures since we talk all the time...so here you go. MORE!!!

it's been awhile!

Teija made Audio this shirt and it is already too small, so i thought i would get at least one picture of him in it. Before he was born she always called him "Oscar Meyer Wiener Osborne" so she designed and made him a shirt that says it!! so cute!!

a few weekends ago we went to the aquarium in Santa Barbara only about a half an hour north of us. here is navy petting a shark. she is fearless and i love it! check out her cute Neff cupcake beanie!

after the aquarium we went shopping and we just happened to run into jennie garth and her husband Peter Facinelli and their kids (navy was pretty excited to see Carlisle Cullen...if i have to admit it, i was too. haha). here's jennie in the backgroud!!!! Navy had fun playing with the masks at that store and jennie bought one of her kids some cowboy boots :) (Just f.y.i.)

Navy's yogurtland creation!!! that place was made for kids (and adults). Yummy!!

navy got a playdoh ice cream set for christmas from grandma juanita and really wanted me to show everyone what we made!!!

ahhhh! cute face! my big boy is now 5 months old and 18.3 lbs! for a little perspective, i was 19 lbs. when i was 16 months!!! he is HUGE!!!!

Brian's bother alex came to visit  from austrailia

Alex and navy squishing sea urchins in Ventura.

Sleepy boy. i love knuckle dimples!

they love each other!!! it is so nice to have navy around!! she is constant entertainment for everyone!!

the other day we walked to the beach. here's Audio soaking up the sun!!

it's been awhile since i updated my blog! sorry guys! life with 2 kids is busy but fun. i'm lucky that Navy LOVES her preschool and is really good at playing by herself. Audio and her seriously love each other. i'm so lucky that i never had to deal with any jealousy issues. Navy is the big sister that anyone would love and Audio is lucky enough to have! Next Tuesday we leave for Bonner's Ferry to visit my parents in their new house. My dad hasn't even met Audio yet, so we are all really excited! we will be there for a whole month! so so fun!!
i just realized that there are no pics of me on here this time. the ones i tried didn't work, so i'll have to get brian's help when he gets home from work. i just might have to put some more pictures up again soon ;)
