Aloha. For Christmas this year Pat and Bonnie’s Mom wanted everyone to spend the special event in Hawaii. We all had lots of fun doing various activities such as reading a book (Bonnie),whale watching (throwing up for Scott), Snorkeling, reading a book on the beach (Bonnie), shopping, eating, Reading 3 books (Bonnie), walking on the beach, along with many other things. It was a vacation that we will all remember for the rest of our lives. We have Pat and Grammy to thank for this memorable trip. More pictures to come.

Here are just a few of the many photo's that we took in Maui.

Well it’s another year of Soccer for Liz. She is on the Tigers with daddy as an assistant coach. Here are some of the pictures after her first game. She was a defender in the first half of the game and she was put in as goalie in the second half and made several saves. If they were to keep score at this age group the Tigers would have won 1-0.

Meg watches her sister play soccor with her new glasses. Cutie! She looks all grown up.
We purchased a new Chevy Tahoe over Labor Day. It’s more fun to drive then the van.




On Aug. 17- 26th We went on our annual Family Laguna Beach trip this year. It was 10 days of swimming in the ocean, boogie boarding, walking on the beach, climbing on the rocks, snorkeling and all the other beach things you do. We saw dolphins, seals, crabs and lots of fish. The water was clear and it was a weird feeling seeing fish swim between you legs as you wade in the ocean.

We always build a sand castle together as a family each morning at the beach. It also keeps people from parking themselves infront of our ocean front spot.

I enjoy swimming in the ocean. It can be a little scary if you go too far out. I try to stay within 100 yards from shore. I don't want the fishies to get me.


I ask them to smile and this is what I get.
Scott is making his chipmunk impression, Meg is just starting to make her dorky smile and Liz, well, Liz is just being herself.

This is our old beach haunts of San Clemente. As you can see it's over crowded now.

Don't ask. I just took the picture.


Guess where the sand is hidden. Droopy Backside.


He thinks he's a boogie boarder pro.

I had an Ice Hockey game while we were on vacation. It's a quicker drive from Laguna Beach, 20 min. vs 45-50 min. from Monrovia. We Won

Liz and I love running from the waves


Running on the Beach.



Bonnie and I had the opportunity to get tickets, thanks to Bonnie’s Moms connections, to the Pageant of the Masters this year. Live (as opposed to dead) people are painted and dressed up to look like well known paintings. This years theme was, "Young at Heart". It was a fun experience. Thank you again to Barbara for watching the kids while we enjoyed a night out on the town.
Well it’s been a good summer. I’m way behind on our Family Blog so I’ll try to catch up. In July I went with some of the young men and Rick on a wake-boarding trip to St George UT. We all had a lot of fun.
