All-American Fun

At the Ramona Rodeo!!.. nothing like "kids day" with kettle korn, blue slurpees (and coors lights).. some steer wrastling, ropin, riding, country music, boots wearing, pony-named-Hollywood (much better in theory than when actually upon horse) riding fun on a Sunday afternoon.

truck driving is a prerequisite here... no, not a Mack, but a Peterbilt will do... (Cars, the movie, a big fave here with C)

All we've ever needed was a 5 dollar wading pool..

Campbell and Olivia, last week.
Jbird, circa 2005 (?) I think she was four?
Justin and two year old Jbird at Sylvia Street... mind you, the ocean was a block away... yet the wader still reigned for afternoon fun.

Enjoy the ride

and any plumeria tree you happen to "run" into on the wog.

New friend

Welcome Baby Jack Kirby! We miss living next door to Olivia and fam, but loved sharing her last night as an only child and meeting "our" new baby brother!

Roller derby

OMG. Emma and Jbird sporting Nana Heit and Nana B's old roller skates respectively. Both a few sizes too big. hillarious.

We love Nana B

and BP, too. Visits are always too short!

clearly someone is taking drama lessons from his sister.. dear god. the waterworks.

gardening lessons.... really just an excuse to wear cute liberty gloves. fingers crossed that I can keep all of these colorful plants alive

Charlie Brown and Friends

We are so proud of "Sofia", played by Jadyn in the Carrillo School Third grade play of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." We still sing the words to the songs in our head and smile when we think of all of the hard work these little 8 and 9 year olds did. Jbird really had a mass fan base, family flying in from all over to see her big show.
