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!

Halloween 2006

The Shook family always throws the most fantastic parties, but their Halloween tops them all! This years "theme" was Alice In Wonderland, hence Breann's scary Alice costume. It was so much fun! Lots of fun costumes that year as well. John and I decied to go as "Johnny and June Cash". After watching Walk The Line about 50 times that year we decided to do a tribute :) I don't have that many good pics because the awesome fog machine them a little too hazy.

Amy's debutant ball

I was never a debutant, but my sister was! We attended her debutant ball on May 13, 2006. After just having our wedding less than 2 months prior, the whole family was still in "party" mode. We danced all night and has a blast! Thanks Amy for a fantastic night, we'll never forget it!
