Person's I think CAN pull off the Aretha Hat.

I felt it was a bold move for this singing legend to wear this crazy Couture Hat, and I was thinking, WHY should she be the only one????

The Cat pulls it off because of the obvious "Attitude."

I think E.T. rocks it the hardest!

Hey, we still have SOME friends!

Jon and I do not get a lot of visitors these days living all the way out in Davis, but every once in a while, a familiar face drops in. Christmas time this year, we laid low, but our buddy Kevin found us!

Fun with bad lighting.

We also got a surprise visit from our favorite New Yorker, Lauren this holiday season!




Why does it seem that every time we have a visitor, we force them to take pictures in our back yard??






Lauren and I met Robyn in S.F. for some French cuisine.








Our server snapped off a shot on accident, but I love our faces and Robyn showing off her money!


Our talented photographer, made sure to get our heads in the picture this time. (I love that you can see the chandelier).



After New Year's, we got a visit from Ali's long lost room mate, Steve and his son, Logan! They stopped by Davis on their way to the Sacramento Train Museum.


They were not at our house long enough to get the coveted back yard photo shoot.

Christmas 2008

Jon & I would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas!

For those of you that were not with us this year...here is the RECAP!


Jon & I hosted Christmas this year, and we had our traditional turkey "Norman" dinner on Christmas Eve.

Grandma came down from Redding and stayed with us at the Chateau Bower.

She helped supervise the dinner.

After dinner we took naps...

We opened presents and watched home movies.

Twins.


Christmas Day

Wever's return to the Bower's in full force! We eat snacks and sandwiches and hangout.

We watched Evan open his presents.

We had Curry Turkey for dinner and played games.




Drill Baby Drill...taught Evan how to play our favorite game, "King Oil." Overall it was a stress-free relaxing Christmas. We only wish we could be with all of our family!

Don't You Wish You Shared A Birthday With This Guy....


I'm so lucky.

Dad got me a kick-butt wide angle lens for my birthday/xmas present.

Then we all went out to dinner at "Little Prague."





Jon got me a baby E.T. doll.


Jon's Parents got me the best theme gift...my favorite theme ...WINE!

Pre-Birthday Celebrating!

Thanks to Mike and his iphone...there is evidence of me doing some pre-birthday partying!

4 ways I know I'm getting old...

1. I arrive at the party late, and leave early.
2. I'm drinking wine.
3. I try to attend events where I'm the youngest one there.
   
4. I'm asleep by 12:30, but I still feel like I was up ALL night the next morning.
