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!!

Fun at the SB Zoo

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!

Daddy and Blaise had fun on the train ... Blaise's favorite part of the Zoo. As part of the festivities they had "Jolly Jumps" set up ... here is Blaise peeking out!

Something new with this post ... thanks Mindy for telling me about it ... audio posting to go with the pics ... it's all new to me so hope that you like it! check it out!!! More Fun!!!

Our Own Little Leprechaun!

It's a Great Day for Little People!!! Tis the "Wearing O' the Green Day" ... as we say in Ireland ... "Erin Go Braugh"!!!

Blaise had lots of fun posing with Zacky for his "annual" St. Patrick's Day photo. It is amazing that Zack will sit still for him for the duration. I guess he figures it's easier just to stay put than to be chased around by a little Leprechaun!!

Blaise wanted to swim in the jacuzzi with his hat on so as long as he didn't go underwater, I was ok with it. I actually got this hat for him when he was 6 months old and recycle it every year for the annual pic ... so if it seems familar, it is!

Hope that you are wearing your green today!!

May the Luck of the Irish be with You!

Cheers to All!!!

Blaise on his Bike

Blaise loves his two wheeler! We use to have blocks on the pedals so that he could reach them but now they are off because as he says " I'm Big Now, I'm Four Years Old"!

We still have the training wheels on until he feels comfortable with his balance ... I'll keep you posted on his progress!!

Frost in Ventura

Here is Blaise attempting to save some of the hail that fell at our house on Jan 24th. We have had some crazy weather here lately but nothing as crazy as the sound of huge hail falling!

We were sitting in the house one night and we heard this strange sound ... then looked outside and sure enough it was hail. So, what did I do ... grabbed my camera of course! Blaise put on his rain boots and grabbed his umbrella and was out with me. It was a cool weather experience ... but as soon as it came ... it melted and we were just left with more rain. Well, it was a close to snow as we ever saw!!

Family Visit

We had a niced visit with the East Coast relatives ... here are Uncle Johnny, Philip, Blaise, Agnes, and Aunt Peggy. They were out from Cape Cod ... next time our visit will be on the East Coast!!

Off To Santa Barbara

A surprise for Blaise ... we took the train up to Santa Barbara for the day! It was great!

We arrived in the late morning and just "cruised" State Street. Went for lunch and took in the sights. Later we walked out on Stearns Wharf to see the view of the city from offshore. Blaise made a new "friend" at the Pirate Ship!

More Christmas Fun!

More fun ... Janice, Me, Agnes, Blaise, Philip, Mrs."C", and Scott on Christmas at home.

Christmas at our house

Here is the gang that was at our house at Christmas ... Mrs."C", Me, Philip, Blaise, Grandma (my Mom), and "Uncle Scotty". Mrs "C" is Scott's Mom. Philip's Mom and Mrs. "C" are best friends. They came down to visit form up north (Morgan Hill). Here we are celebrating my Mom's Birthday!

Blaise and Daddy made some yummy treats for everyone. Here is Blaise being silly and sharing his goodies!
