Alexis in Onederland

Well folks...there it is, the ever elusive onederland (even though I hate that term).  It's kind of funny, I got on the scale this morning, smiled and was just kind of like, "hmmm....okay".  I didn't feel what I thought I would (total excitement) even though I really haven't seen a "1" in front of my weight in over 10 years.


Now, here are some pictures from the last week or two.  The first couple are from my cousin's wedding last week and then the others are from this past weekend up at Camano Island.  We had our really good friends Jeremy & Brandi come over from Eastern Washington with their two kids (who we absolutely L.O.V.E).  We had beautiful weather, caught a ton of crab (great protein and band friendly!) and got a much needed tan on my Pacific NW skin.  *click on any picture to enlarge*

Me with my dad and two brothers

Our little family (Tuck was a little camera shy)

Catching crab!

Pretty much the most awesome sunglasses ever.  Brandi and I dubbed them the "Phyllis'" after Jeff's grandma since we found them in their cabin

I'm not a huge fan of the pic below, but my boobs actually look small(ish) (that's quite an accomplishment for me!)

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.  I of course am still getting caught up from being computer less for the past 4 days which basically equals needed 2 full days to devote to reading blogs.

Also...T-minus 7 days until we leave for Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Idaho.  2,300 miles in the car with the hubbs....should be interesting.
