I've got some specific memories with Allison that go way back - An RV trip up to coast and a dramatic conversation with a friend, scaring the you know what out of a friend's little brother, ministry and camps, many conversation about dealing with boys, etc. And now she is moving forward to get her Masters in Business. She has worked hard!

The Galligan Family
You might remember Lincoln from this previous post. Lincoln is now one year old and still super cute. It was great to get the whole family together this time and explore downtown. It was a ton of fun and while it was a little chilly the gloomy weather made for great lighting. Lincoln was still brave enough to endure the fabulous water fountain area.

The Finale.
Last Friday we squeezed in one final trip of the mountain to board. How could we not when the got plenty of fresh powder just before closing for the season? It was beautiful all around - conditions, weather, people.. Not to mention finishing the day with Mexican food. I think we all felt a little better saying "Bye" to winter with this great last day.
That's it, That's all.
That's it, That's all.

Little Ellie is gettin' big.
Ellie is ONE year old today.
That absolutely blows my mind.
I remember first hearing there would eventually be a little one..
Phone calls about morning sickness while driving,
The ups and downs,
baby showers,
emotions and new moments,
anxiously waiting and then quickly driving from Vegas to California JUST in time to hear Ellie was arriving,
and so many moments of growing since.
She is beautiful and so are her amazing parents.
I am blessed to be Auntie Phyl and watch her grow. She loves me!
Happy First Birthday Ellie.
Who are you talking to?
loves
dinner
ok, got it mom.

Happy Birthday Jenna
Today is Jenna's birthday.. Her 18th birthday. All my once 'little' high schoolers are becoming adults.
Here is to Jenna - A beautiful, wise, caring, loving and growing young lady!
The summer (2008) Jenna got baptized:
At a wedding last weekend:
It really has been a privilege to see just how much Jenna has matured, grown and honored God in the process. I am blessed to watch and be a part of her journey.
Happy Birthday Jenna!

There's a special place..
in my heart for the mountains.
I mean we all know they are beautiful, peaceful, smell better, freeing and so on but I just can't get enough. The report says the season is almost over. But I can hope for a massive snow storm in the next few days right? Although I think the weather god hates me because it always rains where I am not. Storms avoid me. I am in need of some serious weather but all I see in the future here is some sun. I don't like the sun. I see a couple solutions for this.. stay inside with my new light blocking blinds, move, sunscreen/straw hat/cold drink/cold thoughts.. Okay, I am being little dramatic but I am sad the snow is melting, snowboarding is done and the April showers haven't been nearly enough. I just need to mourn a little.
On the bright side.. This was a lovely day:
Happy
ahhhh beauty.
shredding
happy but headed home

Friday spring fiesta.
The mexican market + warm weather + friends = a fabulous fiesta BBQ to celebrate backyards, friends and the changing of season.
Thanks to Kyle and his documenting skills, deb and josh for the fabulous 7 layer dip and home made apple pie, the roomies for making the night happen and great friends for a lovely evening. We plan to be regulars at the market so there will be many more BBQs to come.
