New Years 2007!

We rang in the new year at the Sanders' fabulous New Years party...Mardi Gras style. What a fun night!!

49ers game Nov 25, 2007

For John's birthday I got us tickets to the 49ers vs Cardinals game. We took a little flight to Phoenix to see some football. We got to see John's former CU teammate, Micheal Lewis play. We really lucked out because this game was one of the best 49ers games of the season. Go niners!!

Laker game!

On November 18th we went to the Laker game at the Staples Center. We had such a great time!! I am so glad that Derick Fisher is back on the Lakers...I love Fish!!!

Halloween 2007

We spent Halloween weekend with our nieces and nephews. John's brother and Wife went out of town so the kids were all ours! We had so much fun going to the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins, and watching movies. They are such great kids and so much fun to be around! We love you Billy, Josh, Katie and Abbie!

Amy and Shaun get married in Cabo!

Amy and Shaun got married in Cabo on Oct 6, 2007. There wedding was beautiful! What an amaing location. I had never been to Cabo before...it is now one of my favorite places! I couldn't believe how blue the water and how white the sand was. It was so fun being there with such good friends and making friends along the way. John, Claire and I went deep sea fishing one day and John caught a white marlin...which we got to enjoy for lunch that day, talk about fresh.

We meet puppy Huck

Katie and Tim brought home their sweet puppy Huck Finn and we had to of course rush over and take some pics! He's the cutest puppy ever!

Vegas for Kenny Chesney

We were thrilled when we found out a couple friend of ours, Leasa and Dane, were as big of country music fans as we are! So we invited them to come to the Kenny Chesney concert with us since John was able to score 4 tickets. We had never done Vegas just two couples before and it was really fun! We had a blast at the concert on Friday night and then decided to get our own "private room" at the Foundation Room on Saturday night. That's where we met the infamous "Pretty Tony" a certafied pimp!...I wish I had a picture because a description wouldn't even do him justice. When's the next Vegas trip??

Wine bar birthday

On April 20, 2007 I turned 27, wow! My best friend Kym from Texas flew in and surprised me, boy was I surprised!! I am usually never surprised and this was such a wonderful treat! John planned a fun party for me at the Wine Artist, a great wine bar and bottling place in Irvine. We enjoyed some wine and then headed to Hennessey's in Laguna for some dancing and more drinks. Thank goodness Shaun was with us...I forgot my ID and Shaun vogued for me. We also called on our favorite cabbie Jake to get us home safely. You can always count on Jake!

Our one year anniversary...in Paris!

Our anniversary trip to Paris got off to a rough start...we were re-routed from Orange County to LAX and then didn't leave LAX until 4 hours after our original flight time. Then instead of flying to London, we were flown to Newark, then London, then Paris. Of course the airline lost our luggage on top of all that. But we were in PARIS!!! so all of that other stuff didn't matter :) We saw all the sights, The Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Arch de Triumph, Notre Dame and Sacre-Coeur to name a few. It was such an adventurous and romantic trip. Some of the best food we ever had...especially those yummy crepes. One of our favorite nights was just going out to the local store, grabbing some wine, cheese and bread and having our own "picnic". Luck was on our side on our way home though...some how we were upgraded from business to first class, what a treat and perfect ending to a fabulous anniversary!

Colorado Trip

We spent President's day weekend, and Katie S.'s birthday of 2007 in Colorado! 2/15/07-2/19/07. We took a ski trip and stayed in a fun little cabin that belonged to Katie's Aunt's really good friend. The weather was cold, so cold, but it made for great snow! One day it was a total "white-out" it snowed so much. We had a blast. The guys snowboarded and us girls skied. Some of the highlights included: playing apples to apples, the "hand slap" game, locking the keys in the car, and the snowball fight! Here are just a few pics of the wonderful time we had. Maybe one day we'll get to do it again!
