Horsing Around!

My friend, Lori, that I knew from Memphis, lives in Mission Viejo just an hour north of here. She has horses!! So, after hinting all year that I would LOVE to come and help her exercise her horses.... we finally did it! Only, this horse, Jimmy, didn't want to go for a ride and ended up dumping Lori into a gully and ran all the way back to the stables. My horse tried to do the same, but, I managed to keep him (Shilo) put and I jumped off before I fell off! It ended up being a short ride, but fun and certainly an adventure.

Lobster Fest!

Our fun kids sent us live Main Lobster for Father's and Mother's Day! What a surprise!
Meet "Lob" and "Ster"!
They are about to meet their maker....
Hey Ster, wanna get in the Hot Tub? Sure thing, Lob. It's been a long day.
In you go.... This was tough - we felt so bad. And, they were looking at us with those eyes!
Here's to a very special dinner! Cheers!
OH! This is GOOOOOOOOOD! Thanks kids! (and, Thanks Lob and Ster)

Rollin' down the river.....

Take a look at Lizsi's new favorite thing to do at the beach.....

Bike Ridin' Wrays!

I thought Taylor was crazy when he gave me a road bike for my 50th Birthday! But, we have really enjoyed our Saturday, 16 mile bike rides. (We haven't even tipped over for a long time!)

Thank you Taylor for teaching me that we don't have to be "old" in our 50's!!

Fun day at Thanksgiving Point!

Dane and Ian and I had a blast at the farm and the dinosaur museum before I had to go back to San Diego. Ian didn't like the 'real' animals. Dane was so captivated by the 3-D dinosaur movie that he fell asleep! When asked what his favorite part of the day was, Dane said, "Getting a sucker at the Candy Factory!"

Not fun!

No sooner did Whitney and Dustin leave for Thiland but Ian gets sick and gets put in the hospital with pnemonia! He and I spent 2 nights in the hospital. Poor baby.
