Mindi and Jim Come to Town!

We had some great friends come to town from Colorado - Mindi and Jim! They were here for a long weekend. I didn't take too many photos, but we certainly had a good time!

Jim is sad - but don't worry his camera isn't broken like he thought!

Jim and Mindi chillin at Ryan and Sarah's :)

Hi Matty!

Stopped at the pizza joint for some beers and slices!

Say "cheese"!!

Scott Invades San Diego

My biggest brother came to visit while on hiatus from work for a bit in January/February. He stayed three weeks and we certainly had an amazing time! Scott got a glimpse of our charmed lives here in San Diego - getting to see our day to day activities - working, hanging out with friends, exercising, hiking around OB etc. A good time was had by all! Enjoy the photos :)

We took a little walk to Sunset Cliffs to enjoy a beautiful January day! Scott, Amanda, Newman and Mollie make up this photo :) Big smiles everyone!

This is Scott playing with Charlie. So pretty down on the hidden beaches!


Charlie is a spoiled doggie for sure!

Here's Scotty doing his best Japanese tourist pose - what a goober!


Typical Bethnay :)

A view from the top!

Ryan and Sarah hosted a housewarming tequila party! mmmm good times!


Everyone enjoying the festivities - the party is just getting started! (Don't worry, the pregnant girl heads home before things get crazy! hehe)

Sarah, Johan me and Matty kickin it on the blue couch

Having fun now!

Aw aren't they cute??


Mollie and Chena posing for the camera and the tequila!


Time to go home!!

Here is Scott in the mid 1800s all proper and shit! :) That is our friends Jim and Katie's surrey - they ride that around the beach - soon with little baby Ava in the middle of the two!


Jim and Scott on a little surrey ride!


Matty holding baby Ava and me holding.... a beer? :) hehe (Don't worry I put the beer down when I held the baby!!)

Well doesn't that look totally natural? ..... Nah!

Now that looks natural! Daddy Jim with lil Ava :)

After Jim and Katie's we went to a wine release party - a friend of ours has his own winery so we went out to celebrate and drink some vino.

At the end of the night we thought we'd see how Scotty looks in my pretty scarf.

At some point we stopped by Alan's and Matty and Danielle had a great photo op!

As did Scott and I - silly!


Grill master Matty on Superbowl Sunday!! :)


Everyone watching the game!

Out to dinner/drinks with friends!

hehe silly photo.

Matty Coming down to my level!

I think Scott's comment when he saw this photo was "We look old" - and you know comparing photos of when we used to hang out in SD - we certainly do!

Here's on from '05 - you be the judge!

One last photo of Scotty at Shade's before he heads out of town...

Great visit bro!! :)
