Santa Cruz and Palo Alto

Blake, Krisit and I went to San Fransisco after a long weekend of laying on the beach of Santa Cruz. This was Blake's first time to San Fransisco, he was kind of disapppointed though because he didn't see as many gay people as he wanted. But we had a lot of fun walking around the pier and looking at all the great little shops. We had a lot of fun and hope to do it again soon.

Here Blake is posing for me after he had knee surgery. They gave him a new ACL. They took out two of his hamstring tendens and created a new ACL. According to Uncle Kevin and Jason, who were in there for the surgery, the doctor looked like a construction worker pounding Blake's bones with a hammer and screwing through his bones with a long drill. Gross. He is doind good now.

Here we are in Santa Cruz. It was such a beautiful day to be there. But like everybody knows, who has been to Santa Cruz, the water is still cold. Mainly all we did was walk around the Boardwalk and lay out on the beach.

Blake was very excited to find out that the movie "Lost Boys" was filmed here in Santa Cruz so we had to get a picture of the bridge for him.


Blake is swimming in the cold water. Kalijane is so funny. After Maci's baby blessing we all went over to Jennilyn's and Brad and Mike figured out that they could stick these game sticks through Kali's hair without her noticing. But when she saw her hair she was terrified. Also that day we all found out the Shannon is pregnant and is expecting in March. We are excited there are going to be so many little babies in our family this year.

Here is Blake building me a hole so that I can finally lay on my stomach. This hasn't happened in 6 months. It felt so great.
Here we are in the water. It was so so so so cold.

And this is the little seal that came up to say hi to everybody in the water. It was really fun to see it.
