Cookie Exchange 2007

Watching the Chargers win...whooohoo! Yes, I can hold all 100 pounds of Cady on my stomach! :)

Quite the cookie spread, huh!

WINNERS! Scott and I won prizes for best cookies! The others won from some of the games we all played.

MMMM...carne asada softshell tacos!

Suda's Trip

My good friend Rachel came to visit us in SD. The trip started out innocent enough. Here's Suda and I at the Wild Animal Park...I believe this was taken right before a bird pooped on my shirt. Yeah, I know...GROSS!

Rachel's sister Greta and friend Jamie came up from Phoenix to join us. Here we are at Hennesey's. Gotta love my husband's 'high school senior photo' pose.

GO SUDA!

Big Ass Mug Night at the piano bar...may not be completely sober at this point.

A random photo with our new friends that we met at the wineries in Temecula.

Jamie checking off her New Years Resolution to learn how to surf.

Ahhh...yeah, so a gorilla has a few extra inches on me....

Nodak 2007

I can't believe we got all the Lacina kids together for a photo...a blurry photo, but at least it's a photo. The grandkids even made it in!

Grandma Betty and Clancy...his cheeks are so adorable!
Sister Love!

Scott and I hit up Itaska State Park and walked across the Mississippi headwaters. The video is a hoot - I'll try to upload that soon. He almost fell in three different times!

Trick or Treat!

North County Game DAY!

The first official North County Game Day included everything from Bocci ball, to badmitton, to flag football, to kickball, to water balloon fights, to Frisbee, crochet, egg races and more!

Getting ready for some wicked badmitton!

Good food, good times, good friends, good fun!

It's tricky getting this crochet set put back together...

Jen, Eli and Dawn taking a break from flag football.

I think Scott is in there somewhere....

Nieces and Nephews

Seriously...could they be any cuter? Here are Pat's girls and Becky's boys.

The Shevlin-Boynton Wedding

What a beautiful day for a wedding!
Anyone for a game of Holy Boards or Norwegian Golf?

Nate and Jess whooping it up with some free Beltian Whitte beer!

The big 'best man' speech

Lake Blaine

Scott waiting out the ten minutes of rain we got. Patience Danielson....Patience....


Matt... would you like one ski or two?


Nate is styling in this old school rainbow decor life jacket....nice!


Can't beat a day on the lake with the mountains in the background!



Here is Nate skiing. We had a blast playing on Lake Blaine. Matt, Nate, Scott and I decided to try standing up on the kneeboard. Scott named our new sport 'knurfing'...as in Kneeboarding + Surfing = Knurfing. Quite fun, really....a bit dangerous, but fun. :)

Grill Daddy

I don't know that we need to explain anything that is going on. :) They actually did put the thing together in pretty good time, which was good because we needed a grill to cook on later that night.

Happy Birthday to....EVERYONE

Several of our friends have birthdays in July, so we had a party to celebrate. The night started out with a BBQ and turned into another Game Night.

Can't cut veggies up without a Tecate!

Corn huskers!! Mande, Dawn and lady Cady!

Here is Scott trying to get his team to guess his Catch Phrase word.
