The OC Fair

The Fair with friends






We had a good "cheap" night at the fair...Ha ha. However, as always the kids had a blast. My oldest was pleased because now she is tall enough to ride on her own. Yeah!My favorite part are the animals and the garden. Enjoy the photos.

Broadway heads to El Capitan






So we just spent 4 days camping up near Santa Barbara. What a great trip! We went on a Llama hike, had some Bloody Mary's and Breakfast burritos, went to the beach and pool, but most of all just hung out with close family and friends (10 Broadway families to be exact)I can't wait till next year!

Too cute not to post


This is my youngest child for now.... not sure that chapter is for certain closed:) To be determined

Fun, Relaxing Needles CA





As many of you know my first job is school teaching. In the fall it'll be my 15th year. My father also was a teacher and every summer, when he was off we'd head out to Needles. Many of the trips I remember, were with my best friend Steph who I met in 2nd grade. Every trip was a blast and it was at the age 5 the same age as myoldest daughter Reese, that I learned to water ski. I have sooo many wonderful memories in Needles. In carrying on the tradition, a few weeks ago.. Steph and I and the husbands got to take our kids out to " the river." And from the pictures I think you can tell they had a GREAT time.

Little Robert who loves Cars




Steph, Sorry I never posted these but some of them turned out pretty cute, considering. Thanks for letting me experiment on your family and "big" Rob was a real sport too.

My baby brother Broc


Sorry to all for not posting in a while. My hands have been a bit tied dealing with some personnel problems in regards to my "baby" brother who is now 19 years old. He was born, to the same parents as mine when I was 16. He has brought so much joy to my family and I wish him all the best in his life. This whole experience has made me realize so many things. I hug my kids a little tighter each night and I appreciate this beautiful life I have been given. I have SOOOO much to be greatful for. We have such a strong family and I know we will overcome this obstacle. Thanks to all my close friends who have been there to listen and most of all been there for me to have a shoulder to lean on and and cry on. My friends mean so much to me. I love you all!
