Pine Tree Inn and Bakery

I just wanted to give a little shout out to my parents Bed and Breakfast in Panaca, NV. I wanted to help my mom out and just make people aware that the Pine Tree Inn and Bakery was up and running. For those of you who have never been to the great town of Panaca, you are really missing out :) If you want to get away from the city and enjoy some nice quality time with one another, Panaca is definately the place to go.

My parents have completely remodeled my grandmas three story house and turned in into a bed and breakfast a little over a year ago. Some of you may be wondering what in heck would I do in Panaca... but they offer ATV riding (with optional tours to the waterfall and caves), horse riding, and even do catered dinners for bigger groups. There is a warm spring close by along with the famous Catherdral Gorge :)

The now recently remodeled B&B offers great rooms with your own private bathroom, along with a flat screen TV and of course an amazing yummy hot breakfast served in the morning.

Cade and I love to stay there when we go home to visit. This is us last time we went home.

And finally The Wedding

So I kind of neglected to mention the whole reason we went on this trip to California was for Brett and Oxana's wedding. Brett is Cade's oldest brother who got married on Coronado Island on Jan. 16th. We took some pictures on the island before the ceremony. Here is Cade's family (minus the spouses)Here are his siblings. Can you guess which ones are the triplets???

The ceremony was on a boathouse. You can see Cade performing his brotherly duty on the right. The bride and groom looked amazing and the food there was so good. Overall it was a great trip and we are very happy for Brett and Oxana.

Disneyland

The next part of our trip we went to Disneyland! Cade's triplet brother and his wife joined the rest of us along with Cade's older brother and our new neice. It was a blast! Even though I've been to Disneyland many times, this time it was really fun to experience it with my new fam.

Our first ride - the tram :) I love this pic of Cade and his nephew Kyler.

Part of the crew stoped to pose at the entrance.

The mother in law and me just chillin :

Kyler got his drivers license a little early

You can't really tell but the famous Disneyland castle is behind us.

California Cont....

So last time I was able to use the internet my camera died so I wasn't able to upload the rest of our trip to California. After we went to my brothers house we then left to go stay with the Booth fam for the rest of the week. We had so much fun. We stayed at this condo at a resort outside of San Diego. It was Cade's parents, nephew, triplet sister and her husband who all crashed there together. Cade and I had to sleep on the hide a bed but we didn't mind. The weather was perfect and it was absolutely beautiful there. Here is the view from our balcony.We went to this beach by San Diego...I think it was called Pacific Beach. There was a Board Walk with lots of shops and restaurants. I could have stayed there forever. I miss the beach so much!

California

Last week Cade and I took off work for the entire week and headed down to Cali. Our first stop was at my brothers house. I always love going there. Thanks Brent and Lindsay for taking care of us and letting us stay! Cade and B chillin by the ocean. It was crazy to go from snow to 85 degree weather. We loved it

We went jet skiing and watched the sunset out on the ocean. We also saw a bunch of dolphins and got to ride right along side them. It was so pretty out there but of course I couldn't take my camera so here is Cade when we got back.

I look ridiculous but oh well :) The water was freezing but the weather was so nice even though it was Jan.

My last final is FINALLY here...

Oh my gosh... I just took my last final EVER!!! I am so excited to finally be done with college, even though graduating in Dec. is completely lame. There is no celebration, no cap and gown, no family coming to see you walk to get your diploma. I know.. I know.. that will all come in May when I get to walk, but still its kinda disappointing. At the same time I couldn't be happier. No more homework and stressing and late nights studying. Now it's time to face the real world. We will keep you posted if Cade and I make any big plans cuz at this point you never know :)

Our First Thanksgiving....

Thanksgiving weekend was probably the funnest time I've had in Panaca in a long time. My mom had so many activities planned for our family. All of us girls were saying it was miricle because we watched very little TV :) My highlight of the trip (besides eating) was riding four wheelers to Condor Canyon and the waterfall and then of course watching Cade play basketball in his first Traditional Mathews Thanksgiving Basketball game with all my brothers and in-laws. Cade's highlight was herding cows with my Dad... ha ha it makes me laugh!

So not only was it our first Thanksgiving but we also experienced many other "firsts" which I kinda already talked about but let me recap.....

Our first Thanksgiving meal :)

Our first four wheeling experience together. I didn't even know my parents owned four wheelers until just recently - sad.

Our first trip to the waterfall.

Our first cookout on the Mathews Farm :)

Our first trip to the sand dunes :)

......And out first Christmas Tree..Yay!

After this post I'm starting to wonder what we did when we were dating :)
