Baby picture

We're a bit behind on keeping the blog updated, there is a lot keeping us busy lately as you can imagine. But for tonight I wanted to throw up a baby picture of me when I was 2 yrs old, in 1980.



I had red hair for many years, so there is a possibility our little Hunter could have red hair. I'm hoping for super blonde though. ;)

I actually still have this dress, it'll be fun to put it on Hunter and have a picture of her in it as well.

Pictures from the wedding and honeymoon

More pictures from both our camera's.

Wedding pictures

We went to Mt Hood for a few days after the wedding. We stayed at a bed and breakfast in a reeeeaaallly small town at the base of Mt Hood. It was beautiful!

For those of you not from the NW, you can see Mt Hood from Portland, so it's only about an hour drive to get up on it. On the side we went on, it's tons of orchards with I believe are mostly pears. We went on a train ride around the area and saw lots of cool sites, this is one of my favorite pictures of a run down building where fruit pickers must have stayed, and maybe still stay there.

The bed and breakfast had no breakfast because their kitchen was being remodeled (we knew this going up there) so we had to find our own nutritional breakfast one of the days. :)

Baby shower with friends

Saturday we had a baby shower at our house with our friends. It was more of a gathering than the traditional baby shower, but it was a great time. Thanks to everyone who took the trek to come out to our new house!! The gifts were awesome and the sweet words in the cards made my heart even more squishy! :) We love you all very very much and we're so happy you are so happy for us!! Thank you!

We didn't really get many pictures on our camera so if you got some on yours, do share! We'll be sure to take more this coming weekend at the family baby shower on Sunday.

This is Brad, Tonia, Holly and Sam. Holly got the squirt guns out and her and Brandon had a nice quick attack on one another. Tonia is also expecting this fall, she got me the best gift of nipple cream for sore boobs from breastfeeding. :)

You can tell Brandon's collar is a bit wet on this picture. I love the cheeseball grin.

Teri and Mark came out to put some faces to the names of my friends. It's always lots of laughs with them around. Teri looked fabulous for being so under-the-weather recently.

Manda wasn't being cooperate in taking a picture of her, but you can see Woody in the background with his wonderfully fashionable sunglasses.

Cora is in heaven on Erin's lap.

And since there are no pictures of me and I know my Mom has been wanting to see some more, here is a picture of me in the same outfit I wore Saturday, just a week or so earlier. :)

We're married!!

We're married and I'm officially Crystal Case. :) We had a beautiful wedding ceremony at the Case farm on Friday 6-06-08! Mark, Teri, Erin and David (Brandon's Uncle who performed the ceremony) were there, but all of you that will be there at the wedding celebration next year were there with us in spirit. It wasn't the sunny day we'd hoped for, but the weather was nice enough to settle down for us to go down to the bridge and have our little ceremony.

More pictures to come soon, just getting them uploaded to a site for easy access. Here are a few to share for now...

Our new dog!

This is Lilli!
She's not our new dog though, I only wish! She's my friend Kevin's dog, she's freakin adorable though!
