Marie's "28" Birthday

Nothing like a little embarrassment from your big sister on your Birthday.
While eating lunch the waitress brought Marie an ice cream with a candle in it and invited the whole restaurant to sing Happy Birthday to her.
The best part everyone did.

Marie sneaks a tasted of her Strawberry Birthday cake.

If you know Marie you know you can't make any kind of goodies with out her looken for the bowl.

Matt crosses his fingers as Marie tries to blow out all 28 candles.

She only left 1 lit.
Marie hope you had a good birthday in California.

Knotts Berry Farm

Matt and Marie meet Snoopy
Just us again :)
Just when Matt and Marie thought they were expert coasters riders Chad and I took them on the XCELERATOR. It hydraulically launches you off the line at an electrifying top speed of 82 mph in 2.3 seconds through an exhilarating 205-foot ascent and immediate descent at a 90-degree angle.
We have a little fun playing dress up.


Chad's Favorite ride (Supreme Scream)

Supreme Scream, transports brave, open-air riders straight UP, to a record-breaking 254 feet in midair, before power-blasting them straight DOWN -- in a gut-wrenching three seconds flat! Velocity of the downward plunge tops 50 miles an hour, bringing terrifying new meaning to the term "negative gravity." But the towering thriller isn't finished with you yet. There's still another heart-pounding wallop as riders rebound halfway back up the skyscraping tower before a final, merciful landing at the launch pad below.

Disneyland.....round 2

Marie gets a little friendly with Dale.
Chad, Matt, Marie, and I wait for the Fireworks!!!

Matt and Marie start to get comfortable with the rides at Disney

Ossiginac Bridal Shower

All the Family

My mother-in-laws to be
Shari Volk (mom) and Lorie Ossiginac (stepmom)

Marie and I stand in front of PJ's Abbey

Nestled in the heart of "Old Towne Orange" PJ's Abbey restaurant is designed from an original Gothic style, Victorian Baptist Church built in 1891. The Abbey offers a quaint setting surrounded by original stained glass windows, polished wood furnishings, a whole lot of history, and for me new beginnings.



Day 2 relax and BBQ

Matt prepares the steak and veggie skewers.
Chad throws them on the grill.
And Marie, well we all now what Marie is doing...
Enjoying a very tasty meal.
