Mission Bay RV Resort






Once again we had such a nice time at the Mission Bay RV Resort. Our days were filled with bike riding and hanging out and beach. The stand up paddle board was a big highlight. We definitely need to put that on the "things to purchase" list.

We are so proud of Ethan! He saved his money and bought a new bike. He was very proud of it while camping at Mission Bay. :)

Who Doesn't Love Fair Food?


Grandma and Grandpa (Nana and Pop Pop) took the kids to the fair. They came home stuffed and exhausted. Perfection!

What a Guy!

Dad was camping in the Sierras, so Ethan stepped up and mowed the lawn.
He's so awesome!


Go Ethan, go!

Happy Birthday Sweet Emerson


We celebrated Emmy's 4th birthday over a Mexican food dinner with the Ottonellos.

The Alpine Slide


One of the kids' favorite parts about the trip was the Alpine Slide. They absolutely LOVED it, and, surprisingly, nobody crashed!

Seth was a racing champ!

Ethan was serious and cautious...

Emmy is impossible to get a good picture of...

Seth, Ethan, Emmy, Domanic and Cole

The Baby Chicks are Here!


The post office called today and said our package was in and chirping and we needed to pick it up. In it, were 10 precious baby chicks. This is little Maxine! We gave two away and, in addition to Maxine, we now have, Buffy, Rosie, Dolly, Tangerine, Fluffy, Inky and Cali! Now that makes one happy boy!

Western Days Parade







This year we were on three different floats in Valley Center's Western Days Parade. I walked with the school TPC float, Seth road on the Ag Day float, Ethan rode the rodeo float with Grandma and all of the other "mutton busters," and Randy and Emmy rode the bike around town and watched from the sidelines. It was a fun, busy day.

Mutton Bustin'






Ethan was SO very excited about Mutton Bustin'. Being seven years old, this would be his last chance to do it (due to size and weight), so we signed him up! All Ethan talked about for two weeks leading up to the big event was sheep riding. He even was asking for a pet sheep. That all ended when Ethan's sheep laid down! To throw salt on the wound, a little kindergarten boy said, "Ethan's sheep did the Stop, Drop and Roll!" Poor Ethan he was sad to get the 'loser' sheep. Forget rodeo, he's sticking to motocross!
