Family Visit Con't....

Thursday we went into Salem. I didn't take too many pictures...Mia was the one taking the most! I will have to get some from her! But here are a few:

Then Friday, Kris took the day off and we all went into Boston. We did the Duck Tour (does land and water) and then drove to certain sites that they wanted to see! Here are some pics from the day!

Mia was even able to drive the "Duck" for a bit!

The Family Visits....

So the first week of August my Mom and Dad and 3 sisters came out to visit! It was a houseful but we had fun!!

They flew in early Tuesday morning and were tired from the long flight, so we just stayed local in Plymouth that day. We went and saw the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock and other sites and then when Kris got home from work we went and had Hibachi for dinner!

Wednesday we went to the Cape and down to Chatham to see the lighthouse! (and of course look for all the great white sharks that have been spotted off Chatham)

Then we took a drive into Rhode Island and did some shopping and had dinner!

Birthdays!! (July/August)

I love Birthdays!! Fortunately for us, the 4 of us all of have birthdays within a few weeks of each other so we've been having a blast going out the last few weekends to celebrate!!

Dan -July 8th, Rebecca -July 24th, Anneke -August 1st, and Kris -August 22nd!!

I can't believe this is my LAST year in my 20's!!! Where does the time go!!! Although I am SUPER excited for my 30th! Some friends have already started planning and its going to be a BLAST!!!


Kris' birthday was actually yesterday (his grandma's is also the same day!) so we went and celebrated at his Mom's house! I just love his grandma. She is the sweetest lady you could ever meet! We did a cookout and watched the Red Sox (of course!) He also got some AWESOME gifts from his AMAZING wife!! =) I did a good job at surprising him this year!



My sister Janette also turned 17 on the 18th of August!!!! I can't believe she is almost an adult!!! She was out the week before her birthday so it was nice to have her out here!! I miss her like crazy!

She cracks me up!
She and I on the Ferry to Martha's Vineyard!

She is so cute!! I love her!

July.....

About 3 days after leaving CA, my best friend Angie and her Mom flew out to MA to spend the 4th of July with Kris and I.

We went and did the Fenway Park Tour......so fun!!

Then for the 4th of July, Dan and Rebecca came over to hang out with all of us. It was ridiculously HOT that day, so we walked downtown and ate, then came back and played some Wii and guitar hero until it cooled down a bit before walking down to the waterfront for some fireworks!! All in all, it was a GREAT day!!!

Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July!!!

June in CA con't.......

While in CA....I got to spend time with these wonderful people....and actually got a picture of when we were at dinner and I told them I was preggo!

I was also there for this crazy girls birthday!! We went to Joe's Crab Shack and had a blast =) Happy Birthday Luisa!!! XOXO

Now on to June.....Graduation!

I flew home to CA in June for my sister Elise's high school graduation!! I still can't believe how old she is getting...which in return means I am getting old!! So here are a few pics from her special day!! I had a blast spending time with my sisters!!! I miss them ALL the time!Elise getting her diploma!

Where to Begin.....how about with where we left off..MAY!!!

Well lets start with how BAD I am at blogging!!!! I finally downloaded some pics from the last few months so I'll briefly cover whats been going on!! =)

We will start with May!!

As posted before, we celebrated our ONE year anniversary and it was wonderful!!! We spent the first part of the weekend in Boston and ended in Cape Cod!! I love the Cape. We did (and by we, I mean I) alot of shopping =) It was nice to get away just him and I!

Then....on the 23rd of May......we found out.....We're PREGNANT!! I am sooo excited!! Two more weeks and I am half way done!! I felt nauseas for about a week, and have been great ever since! I'm lucky I never got the "morning sickness!" Everything has been great! We find out the sex of the baby VERY soon and I can't wait!!! Then the shopping starts!! =) So hopefully this pregnancy will keep me blogging more!

Here are the babies first few onesies!!

Luckily, these will work for girl or boy, since it doesn't matter the gender, Kris will make sure this baby is a Boston Red Sox fan =)
