Zip Lining

I really, really wanted too.
I had myself all physed up and ready.
Then I saw the advertisment for the excursion and knew that I couldn't do the one rope bridge or the swaying single plank bridges.
So, Mike went on a zip ling date with Shannon.

The alarm went off at 6:45 and Mike was like a kid on Christmas morning.
I said something like have a nice time (even though my heart wanted him too - I didn't mean it) and rolled over and went back to sleep.

He came back all excited and happy. They had an awesome time and he told me all about it. I kinda believed him.

After seeing the pictures from the day - I now believe him. I also know that I would of slowed him down and he wouldn't of had such a great time worrying about me.



There are more picutres on my shutterfly!!

What do You get....

When you mix alcohol and good times....
Crazy pictures with your family!



And more crazy with good friends!


Oh Yeah -
And a really crazy nephew who has always wanted to play a pro wrestler. Yes, Jack and Jeremy that is your father.

Did You get That?

I heard that a lot last weekend.

Mike and I traveled to Mexico with family to attend Jon and Erica's wedding.
I brought my camera and told Sharen that I would try and take alot of pictures. Mainly so she wouldn't have too and also for all the people who couldn't be there and of course  for Erica who loves to scape book.
I earned the nickname "Wang". I first thought they were calling me a dirty word and then it was explained to me he was a guy in "Caddyshack" who took pictures.

I didn't take any pictures during the ceremony - I just wanted to sit and watch.
But I did manage to take a few pictures during the week.
I'm sure that Erica and Jon wouldn't mind me sharing some.

Arrived

Anniversary dinner

Tequila Bar - Shot!!!

The first day - we had to try everything right? Water Aerobics


Jon's best man, the preacher, and one groomsman

Family and cocktails

I dragged Jon and Erica around the first day taking random shots. The hammock was not one of Jon's favorites.

Who Knew it does rain in Mexico

The stage is set

When women get together there are sure to be cameras, not so much with guys. So I decided to catch a few shots of Jon with his groomsmen hours before the ceremony.

While Erica was getting her hair done this is what Jon was doing. Watching golf!

I got some great shots of Jon and his groomsmen

I even found myself telling the professional photographer what shot to take. He was a good sport about it and said thank you.
I took hundreds and hundreds of pictures - I just hope I got everything!

This is the video I wanted to share on my last post.

Sick Roger???

Roger has been under the weather. Bryan stayed home Wednesday and Mary took her turn on Thursday including a visit to the doctor.
I got to stay (or play) with Roger on Friday.
Bryan warned me to take him with me when I leave the living room cause he gets into things. I'm like whatever - Ha - He found the mail the mail man had put in the slot in the front door. I found him slapping the top to Mary's computer (she had it on the floor so he wouldn't pull it of the table - he likes the cords) . He headed numerous times over to the TV and all Bryan's game counsels. He took off for the dining room where Grandpa's tools were spotted.

Bryan was right his little Army crawl took him everywhere.
 I got the biggest laugh when Mary came home and she was showing me the new colors for the hallway and kitchen. She was holding Roger and Roger spots the light switch on the wall and starts moving his arms in circles like the army crawl thinking he could get to it. So Funny!

Here he is taking control of the remote.  That is an old one Bryan had, but don't tell Roger that. He thinks it's golden.



He sure does love his play center.

Hey Aunt Karen

I got to spend some time with the Zierk children yesterday. We played - We ate (lots) - we napped -  and we played some more.

Matthew -
"Hey Aunt Karen, Take a picture of me and sisters."

Kendell -
"Hey Aunt Karen, I am so glad you came to play with us. I am 10 months old today!"

Note - Kallie spots the camera and is crawling frantically towards me....

Kallie -
"Hey Aunt Karen - I'm 10 months old too!"

Dave talking with Matthew -
"Your sisters are growing up way too fast!"

Happy "10 months old" Birthday Girls!
