Happy New Year!

A few weeks late, but I had to post about our fabulous trip to Catalina Island for New Years.  We stayed in our friend's condo with friends and had so much fun.  Here are a few pictures that summed up the trip.

Here we are on the ferry on the way over to the island.

Josh and Brandon at the look out point.

Sissy, Rose and I dancing it up at the Chi Chi bar.

This is where we were at midnight.  This band in the background was so cool.  They were literally 90 years old and still jammed their old school jams together every new years.  It was so fun to dance to their 40's music.

If any of you are wondering, yes, I did get Brandon out on the dance floor.

Rose and Jordan.

4th and the 4th TAGGED!

I got tagged by Lindsay Redd Hogan.  The rules are I have to look in the fourth folder in my pictures and pick the fourth picture.  I laughed at the picture Lindsay did.  What an awesome trip!

The best part is that my picture comes from the same trip!  This is Sara Jane, Lindsay, Alex and I (Stina was taking the picture!)  arriving from the States to Italy.  I think this is a few seconds before Alex realized she had left her wallet in the airport in Atlanta.  Luckily we had another friend who was going to be in the same city as us a few days later with his family so he brought it to her.  Oh Alex.  This really was one of the most fun trips I have ever been on!  I love you girls!

I tag Sara Jane Niedherhauser, Cait James and Nikki Larsen.

Congrats Ryan!

We have been quite the travelers the past few weeks.  This last weekend we went to Oakland, California with Brandon's family for Brandon's brother's wedding.  It was a wonderful wedding.  We are excited to have Laurel be a new addition to family.

We were able to accomplish another one of Brandon's dreams this weekend.  He has always been a Raiders fan and we went to a game.  It was quite the experience.  We had to be body searched by security before entering the stadium.  I literally did not feel safe walking around the stadium by myself.  Even Brandon felt a little nervous.  It was so fun though. 

The classy parking lot after many tailgaters.  



Even though the Raiders lost, we still had a blast.

Seattle

A few weeks ago Brandon and I went up to Seattle to visit family, have fun, shop and......go to the Counting Crows concert!!!  It was such an awesome trip.  We love, love, love Seattle and if everything go as planned we will hopefully be living there in the next few years.  

These cute kids are Brandon's cousins Quinnlin and Gaia.  They have so much energy!  We loved to be able to see them.

Here we are at the boat locks.  

There is a semi new park called the Olympic Park in the city.  It is awesome!  It consists of people donating money to build crazy sculptures or donating their own crazy sculptures.  We loved it.

We didn't really know what these were supposed to be.

Here we are at the concert!  Brandon's favorite band has always been Counting Crows, but he had never seen them in concert so as soon as he found out they were going on tour, maybe for the last time, we took the opportunity to see them in our favorite city.  They played with Maroon 5 and Augustana opened for them.  It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to.  We both loved it.  Brandon was like a little kid in a candy store he was so excited.

Welcome Addy!

I hate that it has taken me so long to post this, but Brandon's sister Alicia had her baby a few weeks ago!  She is absolutely beautiful.  We are all so excited to have a baby on the Plewe side.  We love you Addy!

Monet to Picasso

Brandon and I went to the Monet to Picasso exhibit at the UMFA and it was awesome!  We highly recommend going to see it, but hurry because this is the last week it is here.

It's Been Awhile...

We have had such a crazy summer and sorry to say, but blogging was just not on my mind to do.  We have had such a great summer.  We've been to Cali, camping, weekend trips and hanging with friends and family.  We are sad to see summer come to an end, but excited for our favorite season, FALL!

Newport Round 2!!!

We love having Ryan be able to come and visit us whenever we are in Newport

I know you have probably made fun of the people who rent these and ride down the boardwalk, but we did it and it was a blast!

A little breakfast at Myrtle's

All of these umbrellas belonged to my family!

Beckham's first time at the beach!
