Well, Here are some of the pictures of our weekend vacation to Jan Jose to visit the Grand Parents back in August. You know what they say, "Better late than never."

The sharks were Carsons favorite





The jellies were my fvorite


Thanks Mom and Dad for making that great trip possible, We had a great time.

Desert Fun

Carson, Tyler, and Myself took a little outing to the Desert Museum. We had a blast. Just about all the animals were out with exception of the bears and the javolina. Carson's favorite exhibits were the snakes. He also had a great time in the hummingbird aviary. Tyler sat around for the most part however not without the occasional spur of excitement voiced with loud enthusiasm.

Tyler has his FIRST BIRTHDAY!!

Tyler is now one year old! His official birthday was on June 25th 2007 but we celebrated a few weeks early so the grandparents could be a part of it!! Her are a few pictures of that messy celebration.

Photo Skills!!

Over the weekend my Niece Brynlee had her 1st BIRTHDAY!! The theme of the party was come in beach attire (not swim suits), sunglasses, flip flops, Tommy Bahama shirts... things of that sort. So we did and the boys were no exception. Carson even had his sunglasses, "Stylin I tell you." Anyway.. as the party progressed I begin to notice that all the men there (except me) had some sort of electronic device attached to their eye at all times. The Father of the birthday girl had a video camera, The two Grandpa's had cameras and videos going, and even Auntie Leese got in on the action, She is a Professional Photographer.(your welcome Leese) I began to feel a little uneasy like I need to be taking video or snapping some photos... The light bulb came on. Why not join in and capture some memories. I pulled out my Cannon PowerShot sd750 elph, which might I add, is the best point and shoot camera you can get, I'm bias.. I fiddled with different settings and managed to take some photo's I was really proud of.. The party was tons of FUN and Brynlee was adorable. I hope you enjoy my photo skills.

I'm Back

Well a lot has happened since my last post... It seems that the whirlwind has stopped just enough for Linda and I to stop and catch our breath momentarily. Daycare that Linda runs is hectic, loud, and keeps Linda extremely busy, but on the upside it keeps her home and helps with expenses. Come the end of the day needless to say Linda is exhausted. I continue to need physical therapy as a result of what is just a long slow process. The bummer here is my insurance has stopped covering it hence I stopped going. I do have excercises and stretches I can do to help continue the progress.
Most recently I attended a Dodger game at Chase Field with Carson, and some other members of the family. Here are the pics





We've also found a great hiking and outdoors area right behind our house at Sombrero Peak. We go frequently and Carson and Tyler seem to love it.






Lastly, We were able to squeze a short weekend and get away up to Prescott AZ last month. whhhhew What a load off. The boys came along and we just made a nice vacation out of enjoying the mountains and the cool weather. Carson had a great time playing on the grass in front of the old Courthouse there in downtown. Tyler basically was along for the ride!!
