California Day 9

Added pics from the last few days - oh how I love wireless internet.

What do you get when you mix Mark and floor to ceiling mirrors?

You're So Vain
I bet you think this blog is about you
You're So Vain
I bet you think this blog is about you Baby!





Matt and Mark can now check out the babes with their new sunglasses - thanks Uncle Steve and Stephen for teaching them 11:00, 1:00, 3:00 and not to turn all the way around to 6:00!

California Day 8

We had a barbecue today. All my cousins, a couple of friends and my Uncle Herb came over. It was great to see them all and catch up. We get to do this about every 2-3 years so it's a big deal to me as we just love all these people and have so much fun laughing with them.

This time I was able to spend more time with each of them as the kids were a little older.

No one was tossed into the pool!

Here's the pics - 4 of my favorite men!


You said what about my butt???
Aunt Cathie and Chadie

Jerry and Holly

No matter when we come - we celebrate Uncle Herbie and Stephen's Birthdays - I guess they don't celebrate them if we don't show up??

Jenn's cupcakes rocked but she also taught us the cupcake sandwich method - tear off the bottom and smush the icing. YUM

California Day 7

I'm so happy we are staying 2 weeks. Otherwise, we'd be very sad today.

We spent the day tooling around Seal Beach with my cousin Stephen and Jenn who we always have a blast with. Ate at Islands which was fabulous. We walked the Pier but the boys opted for swimming in the pool vs. the ocean so we headed back "home". They had a ball swimming insisting everyone else swim too. Uncle Steve took care of that - he threw just about everyone in the pool including me. Chris opted to jump in. The boys thought this was so funny. Of course, we've all been around enough to know this is typical and you don't go outside if you aren't willing to risk being tossed.

Boomers was a hit with the boys - nothing like playing miniature golf in the dark. Half their light bulbs were out.
