Girls' Weekend!!! (and Crew & Mike)

Leisa and I decided it was high time for a wild and crazy girls' weekend. So we loaded up her car with our duffle bags and Diet Coke and headed to Reno to party with Kylie. Actually, it was a modified girls' weekend because we took Crew along too (he's too tiny and cute to be away from his mommy and Grammy!) And Mike was there too (because he lives there, natch!)

Skylar was quite intrigued with her tiny little cousin. She just wanted to pat him on the head and poke him in the nose. She also took his binky away from him and put it in her mouth and crawled away every chance she got!










We partied hard. Actually, we were quite lazy and loved every minute of it! Here is a sample of what we spent most of the weekend doing:


We talked, we laughed, we ate. We watched movies, we talked, we laughed, we ate. We went out for pizza (the BEST pizza ever!) and Skylar enjoyed gnawing on the crusts and eating the yummy pizzookie (white chocolate macadamia nut was the best)



Check out Skylar - she's an ATB! (all terrain baby) She is very proficient at crawling. She is also very fast and fearless and will crawl up over and down anything and anyone.

Thanks Mike, for putting up with a bunch of crazy girls all weekend. And thanks Kylie and Leisa for making it so fun! And thanks Crew and Skylar for being so adorable!

The New Kid on the Block

As you may have heard, Morgan is sporting a sparkler on her left hand! Which means that Cade has decided to cast his lot with this wild and crazy Laney family (although I doubt that we'll be able to talk him into changing his last name to Laney...)


Cade decided to propose to Morgan while we were all up in Shelter Cove a couple of weekends ago. The whole fam was there, so privacy and romance were a bit on the short side. First of all, Morgan invited Nick and Josh to go to the Tea House for lunch with her and Cade. Hmm, romantic lunch? Not. Then, Cade suggested that he and Morgan go down to the beach and go fishing...and Morgan invited Nick and Josh along again! So Cade quickly clued me and Gary in, and we "suggested" that Nick and Josh stick around the house instead of going fishing.


So Morgan and Cade went fishing, and Morgan caught a lovely red snapper...which she decided to keep alive in her lunch cooler. While Morgan was trying to retrieve sea water in a plastic cup to pour over the fish, Cade got down on one knee , whipped out a ring box and popped the question! How romantic is that? Yeah, he'll learn that things never quite go to plan when any of the Laney's are involved, and especially if Morgan is involved!

Happy engagement! Save August 29th everyone!
