Karla, Kenny, and Karin. Kenny is now 6'4" and he may keep going. Plus he has his braces off.

This was Zoe Abe's first birthday party in February. Mom and Dad are Jill and Ayo Abe.

Brendan turned 30 this year and his family was here to celebrate. It was in June so our niece and nephew were able to stay 2 weeks.

We went to Utah in March to ski and see Patty Johnson, my aunt in the work there. We met two of the friends on the slopes.

This is Patty and her companion Katy Kyme (sp?).

My dad was able to fall in that tiny puddle.

My uncle, Brent married Ann Tanjeros. This is at his reception.

Also at Brent's reception.

My friend from high school, Kadi Knauer, got married the same day as my uncle Brent.

My family and I went to Oregon in August to see our second cousins, Lyle and Donny Waldo. This is the Waldo family. Rob and Laura Mae are their parents.

We had a Labor Day Crab feast. The Newmans, Furrows, Chandlers, Rosamonds.

Brendan and I dressed as exterminators for Halloween. None of Brendan's coworkers could figure out who he was until they heard him speak. They actually thought I was the man to begin with.

This December, my family and I went to Minnesota for Todd Bergh's funeral. We got to see my cousin's baby, Emelia.
