Britney Spears

Well, it was a pretty good dance/circus act show, but Britney only really sang one song live. Still worth the free admission that Chris got us.

Kid's Day Carnival

Large inflatable Velcro wall... Paige loved this!

Free snow cones, cotton candy, games, and prizes...what's not to love. Yes, Emily was there too, but she's just so independent these days!

The Raging Rascals

Cabrillo National Monument, Point Loma

On my birthday, Chris took us to these sea cliffs. Jack wanted to know how Daddy drove to Australia so fast.

Sara & Robert's Surprise Wedding Vow Renewal and 10 Year Anniversary

Robert planned an elaborate secret vow renewal for Sara on their 10 year wedding anniversary. He planned everything down to the minute. Unfortunately there was a lot of traffic this Labor Day weekend. We weren't even sure if her parents would be there on time, but everybody made it despite the freeway closures from the fires. I'm sure Sara is enjoying her massage, mani and pedi right now! It was super exciting and difficult to keep the secret, but everything worked out wonderfully. In the beginning, Sara was a little impressed with their "dinner date" because the long beach walk and lack of food. But then we ambushed her with a priest and flowers right after Robert asked her to marry him again and slipped a diamond bracelet on her wrist. He had the most beautiful vows prepared. Very touching!

first fondant cake I've made in years...the message is what they always write in their notes to each other.

waiting for the bride and groom to arrive in their beautiful suite at the Double Tree in Dana Point...

Sara overcome with emotion...

I think Robert knows he's done a good job of organizing this event- and his heartfelt vows...

What a wonderful experience...watching your parents proclaim their love for one another. Colby is trying to hold back the tears...

Colby just got his viola, but is already trying to impress the crowd.

A boy and his bling...

yummy food

Jack shaking his groove thing in front of the band. The lead singer had everyone stand up and follow Jack's moves during the next song.
