11 years of Marriage

July 8th, 2000...It still seems like yesterday.... But 11 years together and still going strong...... I'm very glad that we are writing this thing called life together.....

4th of July 2011 Tahoe

 This year we decided to go camping for the 4th. Jaime and I wanted to take Christopher camping for his first trip.  It also was around the time of my mothers birthday and she wanted to go camping too. Since Jaime works for the USACE, his co-ranger and our friend Jackie said we could camp with the host at Martis Creek. We really had a great time and knew Christopher would his camping trip in the weeks to come with his grandparents.

During the day we went into Kings Beach to soak up some rays. Christopher really enjoyed being at the beach. He loves the water and playing in the sand. That evening after Jaime returned from work. We drove back into Kings Beach and had dinner with our friends. They have a cabin their, so it made it super easy to walk back down to the Lake and enjoy the fireworks that evening. We all had a great time. I'm glad we took the time to go up there.

Army Corp SPK Picnic 2011

The year Jaime district picnic was in Rocklin, CA inside Johnson Springfield Park. It was nice because we did not have to drive so far. Jaime invited his parents up this year and everyone seemed to have a good time. They have fun things for the kids to do and also games for the adults. I was disappoint that we did not participate in any events this year. But i was happy that we got to see many faces of the Corps, that we have not seen in a while. Until next year.

Fathers Day 2011

This year for Father's Day Jaime was working nights at the Lake. Since my own dad was visiting, we took the BBQ out to Jaime. It was really nice. First we BBQ New York steak, green beans, and garlic bread the the BBQ. Then Jaime took us all up lake for a boat ride. The water was still spilling and the Lake was really high. My dad enjoyed seeing the lake full.

Englebright Lake Camping

Christopher was gone for a couple of days so Jaime and i wanted to try out all our new backpacking and camping gear. We parked at Bridgeport State Parks and hike alittle over 1 mile to Point Defence campground at Englebright Lake where Jaime currently works. We took Ginger, but I'm sure glad we did not have Chris. It was very hot even though we took off in the morning. Not sure how it would have went with all 4 of us. But the over night trip was well worth the time and effort we put into it.

Some highlights of our trip were......
Ginger got her first swim lesson, even though she did not want them. She almost seemed to like it.
Jaime and i played card and dice games.... We also drank alittle to much Port, Jaime had to walk and get us a bottle of Jager LOL
The Bookholtz showed up right before dinner, and greeted us with heat and happiness

Gauche Aquatic Park

The closes thing we have to a water park. But it is a wonderful place. I wish we would have been able to spend more time there. But we were either to busy or Christopher was gone/sick. Hopefully next summer we can get a pass.

Summer Picnic 2011

My mother works at Bell Carter and every year they have a picnic for your family. I have never been able to go. Last year Christopher had a great time. The year it was at Woodson Bridge in Corning. They had carnival games, bounce houses, bubble stations, and even a water slide. It is pretty that the have all the food too and even some cold treats like ice cream. I wish the weather had been a little warmer but we couldn't complain because the day was really wonderful.
