Wolf Pack Year in Review - 2012

Mark Twain
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

 And so we did. 2012 was a great year for exploration, dreams, and discovery.

First stop, cruise to Alaskalaska

 

  

Can I still call him, "baby" when he looks so old?







Drinks on the deck at Sunset...



 

All you can eat ice cream? Sweet!

Best way to watch a movie especially when it's still light at 11pm

Time to cool back down at the beach in SAN DIEGO

 

  Do you know what's great about having your bday while you are on vacation?  Free dessert at every restaurant!

 

Strawberry Pickin

 

 

 Back Home

I didn't see my Dad for a few years and in 2012, we got to see him 3 times!!  The first was to celebrate his 75th bday with a visit from our step-sisters and their families.  The step-cousins (or foot-cousins as Ryan called it) had a great time getting to know each other.

 

  It was a year of growth and change...

My little nephew Cole went off to High School!

 



And my Baby Niece, Zuzu was born

 

The Roughiens started 2nd and 5th grades 

 

Lots of fun parties...

The baby playroom was upgraded to a big kids computer lab

  

And, the student becomes the teacher

Bitter rivals become friends

 

 All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth

(actually, the whole row of top teeth and a few below)

 

 

 Naughty? Or Nice?

  

All creatures great and small

One last get-away - Tahoe

 oe Tahoe

 

Happy New Year!  The Wolf Pack

 

"May the warm winds of heaven blow
softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit bless all who enter there.
May your moccasins make happy tracks in many snows,
and may the rainbow always touch your shoulder."
