Better Late Than Never?!

HI! Sorry for the bloggie hiatus..... My computer at home leaves much to be desired and I've been overly busy at work - but since its Inauguration Day and an new day I thought I would just add a hodge podge of photos from what we have been up to lately! Enjoy!

Thought I would start with this- its OBAMAmania today! I'm so hopeful and excited about the future of America and the world! HOORAY!

Here is BRONCO chef Matty hard at work. Too bad the Bronco's never really were for the end of the season! Oh well, here's to another new beginning - the end of an era for the Bronco's and Shanahan!

We took a hike at sunset time with the doggies on the beach and the cliffs (Sunset Cliffs actually!) it was a beautiful day! :)

Charlie and Toby enjoying the sunset! Good doggies!

Walking around the tide pools looking for marine life!

Something smells good!
Pensive Matty!

This time we went on a hike out east near Julian - it was a beautiful and hot day (in November!) - we had 5 people and 4 doggies- the plan is to get a monthly hike going - so far we've had 1! hehe We'll see how we can get it going now that the holidays are over! :)

Happy Charlie!
Happy Johan! :) Damn he's a good looking fellow!
Shanel and Darcie giving Charlie something he's very happy about....

Walking alongTime to go down - nice guns Johan!

Pretty!! - The views changed a bunch during the hike - its definitely different than mountain hiking - but things are still beautiful in the desert!
Pretty again :)

Hello there Shanel! :)
Darcie and the doggies (Charlie, Toby and Luna - I think Miles is resting down the hill a bit!)

I'm pretty sure he's not actually strangling Luna!
The patented Matty look away! What a goober. - We hiked down that valley and then back up.
Self photo!
Lots of people and doggies heading back to the trail head
Charlie Mollie and Miles in the car on the way home! Good times!

On December 6, 2008 our friend Marci hosted a "Girls day" where the girls got together for breakfast, Mimosas, Bloody Mary's, Crafts and a clothing exchange. It was great fun! :) Thanks for hosting Marci!


Mollie and Marci in the kitchen doing kitchen things!
Some of the girls! :)

Chena, Megan and I - cooking up some BACON and eggs! :)
The view from Marci's pad. AHHHHH OB is awesome!
The girls gathered around the table doing crafts.
I somehow got talked into participating in the crafting - it was fun actually! :) Thanks Mollie Jo!
This was in the other room - the clothing exchange - people brought over old clothes that we all went through before donating them! :) Wow - I felt like I could have been at some market in Asia - all the women chattering away and trading things back and forth! hehe good times!
That's it for this post! I'll be catching up as much as possible! The holiday road trip photos are coming soon!!
