birthdays 2011 and Easter

Obviously everyone turned a year older in 2011. Ugh. It's not fun getting older. I swear I just turned 30 and now I'm 38. What the hell?? Anyway, here are some pics from our celebrations.

this was taken at our friend's 40th birthday party...we just got there so no we weren't drunk!! this picture cracks me up every time I see it

we were super excited to be there, can you tell?

13th birthday

We celebrated Brandon's 13th (13th!!!!) birthday in Big Bear. We got stuck staying in the hotel rooms instead of getting a cabin. It was fine but not as nice. We actually had 2 rooms since we have 3492409 kids. That was kinda nice because when they were annoying us (which is all the time haha) we could close the door to our adjoining room and have some peace and quiet while they trashed their room ala Johnny Depp. (just kidding) Our friends Cindy and David came up and had dinner and cake with us.

more grilling....Costco tri tip is sooooo good!

this was after we first got there....this is what minimal sleep looks like on me...it's not pretty

not sure why he likes to make that "I'm super constipated" face

make a wish!!

a funny card about farting...perfect for a 13 year old boy

the famous diabeetus cake from Costco

we went on a hike the next day

a self portrait of the photographer

ski runs look funny without snow

pretty cool picture using the point and shoot camera

this trail had points of interest along the way and we learned some interesting things...can't remember what they are now but they were interesting

again with the constipation face

a Big Bear lizard!

oy

an ancient toilet haha

all these holes were made by woodpeckers...they are small birds, not like the cartoon

it was kinda warm that day, we were sweaty

I think the Keebler elves live in this tree

creepy low clouds rolling in

knock knock, is anyone home??
