These are pictures of San Diego that Austin took from Coronado Island. Great picts, great place, love Cali! Missing the beach, the palm trees...the weather.

Jeep Magazine

In our house it is a happy day when the JP Magazine comes in the mail. . . . Joe jumps up and down, screams and yells, sweet, sweet, sweet!! :) I never thought that the same excitement could come from our two year old, about the same jeep parts magazine! Maybe that says a lot about Joe, or maybe Chase is just mature for his age!!! Either way, Chase was entertained with this Jeep magazine for about and hour. I heard a lot of, Cool, nook (look), wow, I nub (love) it! Now as I am typing this I realize that Joe says the same things :) And I have to add that Joe was a little irritated that Chase destroyed "HIS" magazine before he was able to look at it... love you Joe!

Carrin's Birthday!!!

Carrin's birthday was Feb.20th We went to Monkey Dooz, the girls were pampered, and had a blast.... My little princesses : )

Grocery Shopping

Today was a historic, life changing day for me.... I woke up turned on my computer, clicked on safeway.com and when grocery shopping. The beautiful thing about it was #1 There were no screaming kids in the grocery cart. #2 I did not buy more than I had planned on. #3 I was in my PJ's and any day you can be in your PJ's and grocery shop is sweet. #4 It will be delivered later this afternoon. Wow I really feel like super mom today. I might even click on merrymaids.com and find someone to clean my house while still in my PJ's. I ROCK!!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHASE!!

Today is Chase's 2nd birthday. His favorite things....his train and his cars, & his air planes!!

Visiting with Bob

We had a great time visiting Bob over Christmas. We met for dinner at Lucille's (a favorite place we miss!) Chase has fun putting all of his fries into his milk. He was extremely focused!! Then we stayed at the Hotel Bob, in the master suite. The kids played with Hiko (sp?) Chase was bathed by him, and loved every minute of it. Then we had an enormous breakfast at Red Hill. We hadn't been there in years and yet it hadn't changed a bit. Even though our visit was short, we had a great time. Thanks Bob for your hospitality, we miss you.

While in San Diego, we went to Sea World with Suzette & Brent, Cherisse & their families. Sea World was crowded, so we only stayed a few hours, but we still saw one of Santa's reindeer! It is fun to be with family.

Silverstrand Beach

The kids had so much fun playing with cousins at the beach. We had the beach to ourselves.

Merry Christmas!!!

We are flying to California on Christmas morning and will be there until New Years Day. We look forward to seeing family and friends while we are there. Please leave a post - we would love to hear from you. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
