The Happiest place on Earth

Isaiah's first ever trip to Disneyland! SO fun! My mom and nephew joined us that night. Great time. The first ride he asked to go on was Autotopia.

How Latte is done!

Homemade Soy chocolate latte with homemade nutrigrain bars.... one word: YUM!!!!!!!

Play Ball

Isaiah went to his first baseball game this year. It was ANGELS vs. white sox. ANGELS WON!! Family tradition (maybe even just a baseball tradition), about the 7th inning, it is time for all the kids to get an ice cream. THIS use to be my favorite part of the game as a kid! :op

For the love of bibs...

or not! He was pulling as hard as he could, trying to get it off.


"PLEASE Mommy! I'll try to stay clean. PLEASE!"

Sweet reunion

Cousin with her fiance' and my kids.


The cousin, my kids, sister's boy, and myself

Aunt and niece.... also happens t be my mama

The aunt and uncle with niece.

We had such a great time. It was so good to be able reunite with her. She has been a missing part of my family for a long while. Now if I can just get a chance to reconnect with her mom and brother....

Helping in the Garden

Isaiah that is!

My Uncle ran out to do some quick errands and came back with these plants for Isaiah to help him plant. How sweet and AWESOME is that!?? He is such a wonderful Uncle! Both as a "Great-Uncle" and just plain old, my GREAT uncle! I am so blessed to have such an awesome man in my family.

Pinp-Pong

My Uncle Terry is SO good with little kids. He always has been, though I'm certain his own would disagree. ;o) He spent about 30 minutes, if not more, playing ping-pong with Isaiah and my nephew Kyle. Isaiah is only 4 1/2, so it was mostly one of them chasing a stray ball.


But- he did give one good serve,


that my Uncle was able to rally,

And Isaiah was able to miss.

We have arrived

11:08 am, we had just come off the freeway, in the area of my Aunt and Uncle's home. My mom did all the driving up there, I drove all the way home.

On the Road

Heading for Fresno, CA. At 6:05 am, we were at the main intersection closest to mom's house, just before hopping on the freeway.

Clean at last

You have to understand: I HATE house work! I am NOT self motivated, so for me to get it this clean (that battery charger was put away originally, but Mark needed it) "just because" is nearly unheard of.

Seriously?

It's only September 1st! We still have Labor Day, Halloween, and Thanksgiving before "CHRISTMAS" begins! It's still technically SUMMER people!!
