New Year's Eve Day...

Today was a day for sleeping in, running errands and putting Christmas decor. We had to finish up Charlotte's Christmas Lego set first....it only took 5 days...age 12 with over 800 pieces (not sure WHAT I was thinking)...but we'll have it up every year under the tree by the train!

Charlotte got her Christmas Lego set complete!

Decided to take down all our wonderful Christmas cards...

Tried out the Cake Pop maker...yum!

We even made a Saturn Cake Pop!

Put together Christmas Card/photo books from 2008 - 2011 - YAHOO!
Got the idea from this wonderful blog entry!

Lots of great cards and photos I went thru...

This one totally cracks me up!

Wild and crazy times at the Cina household tonight...

On this Veteran's Day....

Memorial Day 2011...

I went to see Bridesmaids with Bev this morning....it's is HYSTERICALLY funny. My folks probably wouldn't like it, but I think Melissa McCarthy from Mike & Molly stole the movie!!! :)

Victor, Charlotte and I went up to my parent's home later in the afternoon to have dinner and just visit....lots of busy weekends coming up...pretty much every weekend between now and the end of August have something planned...this was the lull before the storm (good storm), just really, REALLY busy....

Today was beautiful (on and off)...took this cellphone photo in my parents back yard...Life is good!

Veterans Day -- THANK YOU!

To all veterans of the US armed services, including my brother who served in the US Marine Corp, THANK YOU!

Pumpkin Patch & Gas for $2.34 a gallon...

We had PERFECT weather this weekend...I still can't believe just how beautiful it
was when we flew home yesterday. It was TOO nice not to go to the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island today. I did get us lost (thanks Rachel & Tim for getting us headed in the correct route), but we wouldn't have seen Mt. St. Helens and all those geese flying if we hadn't had the 10+ mile detour.

I also couldn't believe that gas was only $2.34 a gallon at Costco! I thought $2.78 in Casa Grande was cheap!
