The Kalub girls head to Nor Cal!!

Madison and I flew to Sacramento on October 7th to visit both my family and Sean's family so it was full of fun and lot's of events along the way!

One of my favorite places to visit- Apple Hill in Placerville!

This particular photo was taken on the trail that Sean proposed to me on November 28th 2008! I was sad that Sean wasn't here with us to remember the special day. This was Madison's first trip to Apple Hill and hopefully we can make it a tradition with her every year as well.

The Apple Pie here is really one of a kind. The pie is packed with Apple's and then drizzled with yummy cinnamon sauce!

I love the view here! This photo is at the top of the hill that leads to the trail where Sean proposed.

Walnut Creek Wedding- Megan and Matthew- Sean's Cousins!

Here comes the bride! Megan looked so beautiful on her wedding day! She was married in a Catholic church in Walnut Creek. This picture was taken from the 4th row from the front before miss Madison started to get vocal :)

Here we are at the reception. It was at a delicious Italian restaurant outdoors in a patio with lots of beautiful elements. We had delicious appetizers like shrimp, crustini's, pizza bread, fruit and much more that I can't remember.





Madison has such a cute face in this picture. You can also see the Lei's that Aunt Carol brought for all of us from Hawaii!! They were beautiful.

Here is the bridal party at the head table. Cousin Tina and Lynn were bridesmaids.

I think Madison is saying, "we want food!" She loved to bang on the table for some reason. The family had fun with her. Cousin Leo had fun making faces with her and making her laugh. Mom had a nice first dance with Madison and the Aunts had a blast grooving to the tunes well into the evening. 

Megan and Matthew- The Happy Couple!

We celebrated Madison and my birthday at the Hutchison's new house! Madison had so much fun with the cousins and eating cake!

Christy had a pink princess dress for Madison to wear for her party! 

I made Madison another cupcake cake with a princess crown on top and Christy made me a chocolate present cake with fondant icing, it was yummy! We had home made enchiladas for dinner with a really great guacamole cream sauce and cilantro rice. The meal was so good we barely had room for cake but of course there is always room for dessert!

and...Madison practices her walking at Taylor's jog-a-thon! By the end our of our trip she was taking 4-5 steps at time all by herself!
