Summer Time.

We had a fabulous summer of 2009. We spent most days on the beach digging giant holes, making sand castles, boogie boarding, surfing, chatting with friends and neighbors and watching sunsets while eating smore's. It was the perfect summer! I love that the beach is so close, so we can go often. I love the memories we are making as a family at the beach.

I am so blessed to have two little niece's born in the same week. I love that my sister's and sister in laws keep having babies so I can hug on them and spoil them without having to have any more. As much as I LOVE babies I think four kids is enough. Congratulations!

Where the turf meets the surf...at Del Mar

We had a wonderful day at the Del Mar racetrack, all the kids loved picking horses and watching their horse race to see if they won. Cody was so excited to finally see a jockey, he was a little surprised that they were the same size as him. We can't wait to go next year but we all decided it would be more fun without the kids and just our husbands.

Humbolt Squid...

The squid are back...all 5 guys caught their own squid. Lucky for us nobody else wanted to take any home. All of us girls and kids were waiting at the dock at 1 a.m. to see what they had caught. We had many laughs watching the guys dissect and play with the squids. It was a very late night but well worth it. Ty made excellent beer battered fish tacos for everyone the next night. Squid is great to eat once a year...until next year don't bring any more home!!!

I love going up to my hometown (Granite Bay) to visit, their is something I love about it more then San Diego. I don't know if it is the 5 min. drive to Folsom lake, the very hot weather, the beautiful green landscape or just the memories I have there with my family growing up. We had a wonderful vacation visiting with family, wakeboarding/watersking on Folsom lake, spending the entire day at Sunsplash, riding quads, shopping, swimming until their is no more sunlight, going on walks & bike rides, bbq's, and just being together with family. Thanks Mom & Dad for a wonderful week...We love you!!!

Happy Birthday Dad!

We were all so lucky to be able to spend your birthday with you in Granite Bay this year. You are truly one of a kind... We love you so much!!!
