ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Synjin won the prize for the costume that most represented his character in grades k-2! Yeah Jack Sparrow!!

The Fun We Have!!! PA'S PUMPKN PATCH

Sebastian had so much fun petting and feeding the animals.

Watching the boys try to walk after this ride was quite comical. We were sure Chance was going to lose his lunch. His face during the ride was so funny.


The happy people!!

USS Midway

On Saturday we went to San Diego to tour the USS Midway, the longest serving aircraft carrier in America-from the end of WWII to 1991. There was so much to see and do. The kids really liked it. The carrier is 1,001 ft long, 258 ft wide, has a 4.02 acre flight deck, and is 69000 tons total weight.

I was feeling claustrophobic in the sleeping quarters. There were so many beds in such a small space!!

This veteran helped the kids make a knot bracelet.

We definitely need this at home :o)




On the flight deck!

The boys loved pushing all the buttons!!

I don't know if anyone else ever has these experiences but we have them often on vacation. The first picture was taken by a "baby boomer" and the second by a younger guy! Please, when you take a picture get the background in it!! And this was after we asked him to get the plane in it....

We went to a local golf course and the kids had a blast.


Sebastian gave up and decided eating the balls was funner than hitting them.

Synjin Is 6

Our little boy is 6 already!! He has promised that if I continue to let him have birthdays he will still be my little boy! :o)

Nona and Tata took him out to breakfast and then to ride a train at an outdoor mall. He had such a good time!! This transformer is from them!!

Our friends, the Laynes, had a birthday party for their daughter and since it was Synjin's birthday they included him in the festivities. There were two pinatas and two homemade cakes and a jumper. Really, what could be better!! Yes, I said HOMEMADE!! Check it out. I am so happy with the results considering this was my first attempt. Now I'm excited to do more. So what if they all are pirates!! And the Barbie was so cute and yummy with Sherbert ice cream being the skirt!! Thanks Laynes for a great time! Synjin had a great day!!


Sebastian joining in the fun!! As a side note: Their house is under construction so the pinatas were in the soon-to-be dining room! It all worked out great!!
