What a lucky girl

Reed and Ben were kind enough to make
an old gal feel special. Two kisses from two princes
does NOT a princess make.

Everybody's crazy 'bout em

Brandon, Reedo, Sammy, Nick

Michael, the Isaaks and Johnny

Pretty Sharp dressed men!

Reed and Mrs. Anderson

Had to get Mrs. Anderson in front of the camera.

Falkirk posing

It is usually so difficult to get these boys to pose. NOT today. Kumar...what will you do without them next year?

An ad for Just Because Tuxes!

You have big shoes to fill next season, Cheeksy...Your fellow Cougars have faith in you...so do I! You all look so handsome.

Mary and her boys

I will truly miss my boys next year. I guess I will still get to see Cheeks and Ben on a daily basis so maybe I will be okay. love you guys!

Prom 09

Reed and Ali have been best buds since we moved to Underwood in 1994. Ali looked gorgeous and Reedo was a dapper as ever.

Reed auditions for Bay Watch

NOT...He did enjoy body surfing and I am not a complete baffoon (spelled) and I know that he probably saw his own Pamela Anderson while combing the beach. Don't worry... the water wasn't that deep!

Two for the price of one...look closely

If you look closely you can see two whales waving to us!

The fabulous natural architecture of Lands End at the tip of the Baja. A picture is truly worth a thousand words!

Matty, Gram and Annie

The beautiful smiles of my little bro, my mom and my Annabelle remind me that humans may be lovely to look at but smiles like this usually mean there is a heart of gold at the center of their beings! Stay Golden my dears!

Matthew finally arrived, found his partner in crime,(my husband) and the two of them
convinced a waitress to come up to the room and deliver mohitos!

Having a whale of a time

Breathtaking...magnificent...what a treat!

What does it take to be a "Macho Man" in Cabo?

The entertainment crew needed one more guy for the Macho Man contest. Andrew was
just the man for the job.

The belly flop happens to be his forte...oh wait...that is Ron's thing...

Anyway...Andrew...great flop!

Cobber Grandpa

Grandpa and Reed did find a bikini that they really liked that week in Cabo. Both are quite reserved and never gave up their favorite. Both are excited about Cobber football this fall. Really...Uncle Matt is too!

What happened to my little Reedy?

Gramma Rosie couldn't resist a pix with Reedo. My or my he has grown up. Can anyone say Cobber?

Can this really be my little Reedy?

Andrew and Gramma

We all gathered at the kiddie pool to say our good byes
Andrew and Gramma Rosie posed one last time before the long flight home.
Andrew gives great hugs!

Forever blowing bubbles!

Lil tricks kept us smiling

the entire week. Lil did her own version of the "bend and snap" poolside. (in this photo she was only blowing bubbles)

I know...you are all shocked that I didn't get every moment on camera!

Ang and Anne

I can't believe I don't have more pix of Anne and Angie. They spent a whole day together at the marina. They swam with the dolpins and did what every 13 year old loves: Shop! Thanks Angie...I know she had wonderful time with her auntie!

Uncle Matt and Annie Rose

After whale watching and snorkeling we returned to the Marina.
G and G took Lily back to the resort and the rest
of us went in search of some grub. The rest enjoyed some squid while I waited patiently for some real food! We stopped
at a Harley Davidson street restaurant to whet our
whistles. Matt and Anne posed perfectly!

Matt's fam

Lily was a trooper
throughout the entire trip. It was not rare to see her twinkling eyes...but we didn't always get to see her mouth...

she sure loves that binky!

Last day in Cabo...bitter sweet

The Heftas were checked out and ready for the long flight home. Ang headed back to Denver early while G and G and Matt and Lil got to hang out by the kiddie pool. Lily would not let us put her down so we took advantage of our last hugs with her until graduation!

G and G Thoreson

In July we celebrated Mom and Dad's 47th wedding anniversary at Lake Sallie. Cabo was our way of saying, "Thanks" for being great parents! Thanks for being a part of our special vacation.

This Kiss, this kiss

Cinderella said to Snow White ...how does love get so off course?
This kiss...this kiss... Faith Hill

Anne needed something Latino to fit in

Anne Rose will never be left out of the crowd... What more can I say?

Who is this moustached man?

I am not sure if Reed was more impressed with the expensive bottled water or how much he looked like Borat.

Three Amigos (or are they Marx Bros?)

Matt had no trouble convincing my kids to snap on the old moustache. We had the whole restaurant in stitches.

Late Arrival: Matt doesn't miss a beat!

He may have arrived late but as Reedo said, "At least we had two days of rest before Uncle Matt came!" After a very long walk on a beach...we backed our way into The Office. Matt pulled out the moustaches and a good time was had by all!

Thing one, two and three!

Caribbean night brought out the silliness in things one, two and three. Not a rare moment when my cherubs pose and grin for the camera.

We are Family!

It took eight months to get the whole trip organized. Matt lost his passport and there were a few scares at the airport but we made it! Ron organized the afternoon sail on the Cabo Blue. We watched whales dancing in the water, enjoyed the best tuna fish sandwiches ever and experienced the miracles that families give to each other.

My Matty

It would be impossible to choose a favorite photo...Lord knows there are so many. But I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt this is my favorite pix with my Matty.

Lily and Anne were drawn to the sand. Perhaps it was the lull of the ocean or the strange verbage of the seagulls. I was drawn to them both and of course, I couldn't wait to photograph my two favorite girls.
