Family Pictures

I'm beginning to learn how very difficult it is to get my little family of four together to take pictures. All of us have to be dressed, awake, and happy. The more people you have in your family, the more rare is this occurrence.

So, during our time in Antioch today, we got Weston to take some pictures of us. Even though he denies it, we think he is an aspiring photographer... haha...

Anyway, here's the quiz: Where are we in this first picture??

(Actually, it's easier to tell in this picture than in the actual print we had made today...)

And the other thing that makes me laugh about this experience is Jon... Well, yes, he makes me laugh every day (much like the romantic Eliza and David from Legacy), but in this case, I refer to his uncanny ability to "accidentally" get awesome pictures of us. Our engagement picture and the one above were random "silly" moments that he came up with on the fly, but they end up being the pictures that best display our personality. Does that mean we are silly people? Probably...

Labor Day Kayaking

Last Monday, Labor Day, Jon and I went kayaking with the Antioch crew. Mom Koberstein was nice enough to watch the kids for a few hours while we went down to the Sacramento River and the Dow wet lands to explore.



It was my first experience kayaking and it was pretty fun... I didn't even fall in :) The most frustrating part was trying to get the kayaks to go strait in still water. They are designed to be on the river, with flowing water to help them along, so trying to keep them going one direction in still water is pretty much impossible.



We all took a trip down memory lane as we used one scouting project (the kayaks were actually made by Jon's scout troop) to go tour Jon's Eagle project (the docks in the wetlands).
