FINALLY!!!

Hey Brett & Kelsey,

Just wanted to bring you up to date on my new ride. Between work and church and the beach and weddings and funerals and dad's surgery and everything else . . .

We finally found what we (I) wanted and were able to slow down long enough to be able to actually go and get it.

Here it is . . . my Pearl White Toyota Highlander which I totally

love or really like a whole, whole, whole lot!!!!!

I also threw in a picture of Bethany in the back seat that I took on the

way home from the wedding Friday Night.

It's soooo spacious & roomy. We can't wait for you two to ride in it with us!

Hope to see you soon,

Love Mom

Happy 25th Birthday Brett

Happy Birthday Brett!

We are so thankful for this moment "25 years ago" that God blessed us with you.

You have brought so much joy and happiness to our lives and we are so proud

of you and who you are.

We love you,

Mom & Dad

(& Bethany)

P I X A R !

Pixar is headquartered in Emeryville, CA (which is a few miles from our apartment in Oakland) and is super secretive. You see, the campus – yes it's literally a huge campus with swimming pools, soccer fields, multiple buildings and all – is private and closed to the public. So when our friend from church David (who works there) asked us if we would want to come to the 25th Anniversary party/grand opening of their new building, we immediately said YES! This party was so much fun. There was tons of free food, drinks, desserts, photobooth machines, video machines that made your own mini flip book, and more. We hope to get another chance to visit again soon!
