Grandpa Craner

Darrin went to Portland over the weekend to attend his Grandpa's funeral. All of his siblings were able to attend. Darrin drove by his old home and I got to see where he used to live. He lived in this house until he was 7 and then his family moved to Utah.




Swimmin' Time



The weather has been a little chilly, even for California. This week my luck changed....this whole week it will be in the mid 70's, which is the perfect temperature. The funny thing is, we have been going to the hot tub and pool for the last month and no one else goes. I think everyone here thinks it is still to cold, they are nuts! It's perfect here! I do wish we lived on a lake, oh well. Here we are playing in the pool.

All Clean!

Colby loves his milk!


Really, do I need to say more!

My Sweet Valentine


Darrin and I decided to spend the evening at home for the big day. We had been playing all week with Darrin's parents and his sisters family so we wanted to have a relaxing evening. Our good friends Kathryn and Bryan watched Colby for us so we could get some needed time to gather supplies. We both love to cook, when I am home during the day HGTV and the Food network are always on! I am learning a lot from all of the cooking shows. We decided to put those skills to use and have a romantic dinner for two. We had a great time, we set the table ( coffee table- for some reason we always eat on it, instead of our actual table! ) for dinner we had sparkling cider, an asian salad, scalloped potatoes and filet for me and rib eye for Darrin! It was delicious! We had a great time cooking and spending time together!

Colby's latest Tricks



Colby loving the first time being in a swing. He is so relaxed and loving life. My favorite thing that Colby does is his headstand. He will crawl a little, do a head stand, crawl a little more do another-It's the cutest thing in the world!


Play Time



Last week my mommy was able to spend the weekend with us. I just loved having here here. No, it's not just because she woke up with Colby every morning- that was just a BIG plus! We where able to explore Rancho, visit some fun shops and we went hot tubbing every night. I had a blast! On Saturday we went back down to Laguna and found a great beach called Treasure Island- it's situated right by a super swanky resort. This is now my new favorite beach. My list of beaches I love keeps getting longer and longer!

a-m-a-z-i-n-g, all I'm saying.

Silly me, see how much I love this place :)
