Fun at the Annual Garamendi Basque BBQ

This past weekend, we enjoyed an evening at the Touch the Earth Ranch to support our dear friends, the Garamendi Family. It was a beautiful evening and we had such a great time visiting with friends, riding horsies, going into the petting zoo, and dancing. It was a lovely evening! Thank you Liz and family for including us!

Grandma Jill came for a play date with Connor

Grandma Jill came up last night so she could watch Connor while Mommy had to work today. Connor looks forward to his special time with Grandma and he enjoyed showing off and entertaining her. Thank you Jill for watching him and taking such good care of him. It's so nice to know he's with you when I'm at work!

Fun Spent at the Parks

Connor and I spend a lot of time on my days off at the park. He is at the perfect age to enjoy the park. He loves to climb on everything and is much more fearless than his mom! He enjoys the slides and the swings too! He often makes new friends at the park and immediately gives them a big "Connor Hug." He is such a fun boy to be around. I just love him!

California Capital Airshow

This past weekend, Michael took Connor and I to the Capital Airshow at Mather Field Airport. It was an exciting day because Connor is really into trucks, tractors, and AIRPLANES right now. He really liked being able to walk through airplanes and helicopters and watch the big planes in the sky. It was great fun to be able to watch the excitement through his eyes as he watched the planes do tricks in the sky!

P.S. Daddio- we looked for a B-17 but there wasn't one on display. Other readers- the B17 is the plane my grandfather flew in and was shot down in during WW-II.

Connor and his Buddies!

Connor is blessed with many friends. I thought it would be fun to post some pictures of him with some of his friends!

Boating on Folsom Lake

A few weekends back, we spent the day out on Folsom Lake. It was a beautiful day with Poppy, Mimi, and Auntie Mal. Connor had fun driving the boat, swimming, and going on the big tube with Poppy! Michael wasn't able to join us because he was on his way back from the NYC/Boston trip with his dad.

Labor Day at Twain Harte Lake

We had a lovely day at Twain Hart Lake this past weekend. It was Connor's first time at the lake and it brought back so many memories of my childhood summers spent at the lake. We went with Poppy, Mimi, Uncle Chad, and Aunt Mandy. Daddy stayed at home because he has a hurt back and is slowly recooperating. Mallory also missed the day because she is already down at UCLA training to be an RA. Connor really enjoyed splashing in the water, jumping from the docks, swinging on the swings, squirting us with the water gun, lounging on the raft, playing in the sand, walking to "the rock," and cooling off with a snow cone. It was a fabulous day! We missed you Michael and Mal! We look forward to many more memories at the lake.
