It's MAY! And you know what that means!

But first: We went to Hart Park for FHE.
Oh Boy!It was fun as soon as we found a quiet spot away from the Pit Bull Convention.
Me and my favorite little people.

AND THEN: We went to DISNEYLAND!!
Oh Boy! Oh Boy!
We've done this in May the past three or four years. The weather was great
and there weren't 3 million people. Yay!
Patrick and Caleb making the most of time together.
This is the night before at Downtown Disney. Lots of fun music and entertainment to celebrate
Cinco de Mayo.
We went to both parks. Fun times in A bug's land.
Alison and Stephanie wouldn't get off Heimlich's Chew Chew Train!

Caleb let Cory drive the bumper cars even though he wasn't tall enough...

Sara, Hannah and the really big bear.

Patrick and I with the Car's car's. (I'm sure the punctuation is wrong on that)

Jesus trying to explain to Elena why he ran over her after she fell out of the stroller...
"It's ok dad"

The parade looked fun as we looked at it over the heads of the people while we walked to the main gate. Here is some of the pounds of confetti that fell on the streets at the end. Little tissue Mickey Mouse heads.! Aren't they adorable.
Janae and Ben got to join us after work. Once again Uncle Brandon comes through with free tickets!
Until next year.
Good times, noodle salad.

At the Relay for Life:
Caleb watching someone get a pie in the face.
I've heard that this is the biggest event like it in the country. I'm so glad I went.

In the most random order ever... Part 2


I took Caleb and Patrick to McDonalds to eat and play on the toys - which were being cleaned, so we went to the park - with no bathroom and of course they had to go...(And not just what they could do in the bushes...) Luckily Gail Gates lives across the street. Thank you Gail!
Hannah and Grandma's new toy!
Long story... The doll house came with a mom, dad and baby. Well the mom had her feet on backwards... which Jesus tried to fix but couldn't. So Fischer Price sent me a new family - another mom (with her feet on right), dad and baby. Now I have moms - one physically challenged, dads, babies (and I bought a grandma)... Thankfully enough for everyone to play with someone.

EASTER 2010

Ben and Janae came to see us.
I like the yellow one... but the orange one is nice too.....

Let's make some music!
Stephanie is getting prepared:
"You want my finger prints?!......"

What if I don't want you to take my fingerprints?!!!!!

In the most random order ever... Part 1

March 31, 2010
Ben's (and Janae's) OCMCO Concert. Cory was the lucky one who
got to go with me.
Once again a fabulous night.

Jerry and I went to Ketchican, Alaska in March. He was judging the State Junior Miss Competition. It was crazy to be in a place so remote - you can only get there by airplane or ferry. They don't have a Target so I could never live there, but the halibut was to die for! During the tourist season - when the cruise ships come - there are thousands of people. But it was very cold and quiet while we were there. (And we ate real reindeer sausage.)

Do you want popcorn?

Kissing cousins.
Do WE want popcorn?...We LOVE popcorn!!
Spill... We never spill!
Do we?...
Naa!
opps!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We had an early St. Patrick's Day Party last week. Sara would have been happy. We're trying to carry on the party tradition without her and it went pretty well. Stephanie had crafts and a treat: sack puppets and green rice crispy-cornflake goo stuff. It looked weird but tasted good.
(We were all supposed to wear our Jimmy Hendrix shirts but Patrick was the only one who could find his.)
One two three - now everyone don't look at the camera.
So first you open the glue stick...
...then you hold your finger here for 20 minutes.
Uh...where does this piece go...?
No mom, put it right here. Good job.

"What I did for my summer vacation..."

FAMILY CAMPING AT MORRO BEACH STATE PARK
AUGUST 2009

Guess what? Elena loves the ocean.
Clam Chowder at Splash Cafe.

Keeping two 3-year olds out of the dirt for 10 minutes... A MIRACLE!

But mom, I promise I'll stay clean if you let me get out.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!! You know where the food is. Get your own stick!SEPTEMBER
Two birthday's in one party.
Patrick and Elena

Sara's brilliant idea of going to a Dodger Game for her birthday.
The Galyan's are hiding at the end of the row.
Hannah's birthday.

Sara and Kristina's birthday.
We put sparklers on the cake instead of candles! It was great!
Our 35th Anniversary ride (yes on a motorcycle) to Monterey.
