Beautiful Pacific

Today is August 28th and I've done a bit of posting since last night to "catch up" a bit. I am off to work this morning so I'll see what I can do later. As you can see from my posting, I usually work late at night or early in the morning ... seems to work the best for me. I do have some videos that I want to share. Thanks for checking in ... catch more from the summer and what's going on right now!! This is the view that I see when I drive to work along the coast ... Very nice !

Blaise's visit to the dentist

This was Blaise's 3rd trip to the dentist. The first trip was good, although he was a bit hesitant on getting the x-rays so he sat on my lap. The second appointment he wouldn't even lay down in the chair. As you can see in these pictures he did let the dentist check his teeth but he would not lay down. Our dentist is the Best! Blaise likes him and only wants him to touch his teeth ... not any of his "helpers".

First Day of T-Ball for Blaise and "Daddy's Day"!

Check out Blaise on his first day of T-ball. I took lots of pics so you will see more again. His team was the "Blue Dolphins". It was a learning experience for me as well as Blaise.

Happy Father's Day!!!

Philip's new addition to the bike set up. Now Blaise can ride right along with us .... COOL !

Blaise creates a "Daddy's Day Gift"

We love to create special gifts for different occasions and Blaise loves to paint so we go to this place in town where you can paint the items and have them fired. It is really fun. I took Blaise there so he could make a Father's Day gift for Philip. I told Blaise that he could pick out whatever he wanted to paint ie a plate, mug, or any other item ... Blaise picked a skateboard. He did an awesome job painting it all by himself. Here are pics of the work in progress and the skateboard before it was fired.

My Birthday Celebration

Our day started out at the beach at the park ... lots of fun on the new playground equipment.

Blaise whipped up a cake!

Erin came up and surprised me. We were out to dinner and she just came into the restaurant. It was sooo cool!!

Pin the Tail on the Donkey was the game of the night and for many many days afterwards!

We had a Super Celebration!!!!!!!!!

Blaise our Little Artist

Fun in the sun in Santa Barbara!

Fun in Santa Barbara

Philip surprised me for my Birthay (In June) and we spent the weekend in Santa Barbara. It was really fun and we had beautiful weather. So nice to just relax!!

Good Times at the Ranch

Fun at Uncle Scotty's

Scott's daughter Amy, graduated from High School and we went up to the graduation. She will be going to school in Hawaii next year at the Unversity of Hawaii. We had a fun visit as you can see from the pics. It is always fun at the ranch!

Blaise getting roping lessons from Uncle Scotty

Blaise Loves the quad!!

Cool Skateboarder

Check out Blaise on his skateboard ... actually it is probably about 45 years old because it is Philip's. Blaise loves it because he can go fast on it! He tells me that he isn't going to ski this winter, just snowboard because he can go much faster! Count on me posting videos of that when the time comes!

Cowboy Blaise

Hellooooooo ! Sooo how long has it been? I know, months and months! I actually had to re-figure out how to do this posting stuff. I went back to pictures and I have tons of them and figured I'd just start posting!

All's well. I did get a new laptop, yet I am not posting from it right now with this post. It has been really fun yet my learning curve is straight up but it is a mac so it is "user friendly" they say. Keep checking in for new pics!!

Happy Easter!!

Easter Weekend! "Can't wait for the Easter Bunny to come ... when is he coming again Mommy?" is what I've been hearing all week. Last weekend we went for our annual visit to the bunny. The kids had an Easter Egg Hunt at school that was quite fun to watch. Tomorrow we are going up to our cousins friends ranch near Santa Barbara for a full day of festivities! Looking forward to all the action!!

A Great way to spend a beautiful day ... at the Santa Barbara Zoo!



We went up in the morning, "Bob the Builder" was there for a special visit. We ran into Blaise's friend Jake so they had a blast together watching the show!
