How Sweet is this?

It is great to have talented friends that sale great things! This is a new family tradition-it's funky and fun and green (as in reusable). Just doing my part to help my world and my friends business. She would love to do a custom banner for you. Check her out by clicking here!
Thanks Jessica, it's adorable!

Can My Princess be turning 14?

I can hardly believe that she will be 14! I can't imagine this household without our "Lissidoll" Even though Braden is still telling her to be quiet, he wouldn't know what to do without her either! It is so much fun to have a daughter. Hannah is sweet, sassy,responsible, funny, helpful, smart, kind, fashionable, and clever to name just a few of her qualities. We are so glad that she is part of this family!!

Miss Obedient

I thought this picture was a hoot! This darling teacher is Dr. Sophia Yin. We call her the "dog whisperer". Maisy is the star in her movies that she is doing for training other vets. Maisy has gone to Dr. Yins for a sleepover and to play with her good pal Jonsie (Dr. Yin tells us that Jonsie is much naughtier than Maisy) The dogs all look so obedient in this picture, Dr. Yin tells me it's good it didn't show the few minutes before this moment. If you need dog tips this web sight is great. Just click here for some good advice! I only wish she helped with naughty children also!

P.S.

This is the adorable cake that Shawn and Parker did for the"feller's cake bake" in scouts. It was in Feb. but I just ran across the pictures and thought is was to great not to show! The Theme for the Scout Birthday was "Chinese New Year". Scouting is on our minds a lot right now as Parker is just finishing up his Webelos, Duty to God and Arrow of Light. Oh, and I should mention this is his last Pinewood Derby Car, and as in prior years it will probably race while the paint is still wet! Don't worry Shawn, you can do a car with Chan next year, by the time our scouting years are done, you will learn to love making the cars! O.K., maybe not!

Spring Break Getaway!!

We decided to do a quick trip to get away for spring break. We had never been to the Mendocino Coast so we thought it would be a great plan-it was!! We drove through miles and miles of almonds orchards, beautiful lakes and forests full of redwoods so dense that moss and ferns grew everywhere. The road ended at Fort Bragg where we spent the night at a hotel looking over the coast. This is of "Glass Beach" the sight of an old dump in the early days. after it was cleaned up it was full of "treasures", everywhere you look is sea glass, every shape, size and color including antique plates. We all had fun sorting through our free souvenirs! You should check out this beautiful area. Click here to plan your perfect get away!

Point Arena Light house

This beautiful light house is a great spot to tour. It has a museum, gift shop and is a great place to whale watch. You can even reserve the ranger cabins and spend the night. How much fun would that be? The drive between Fort Bragg and Bodega bay is nothing less than SPECTACULAR!! However it is not for those who tend to get car sick!

One Last Stop

Chan LOVES the ocean. He begged for one last stop to comb the beach and get his feet wet. We stopped at Sea Ranch and found a fun trail to the beach. Braden and Hannah were able to find new noses-I think they are quite attractive on them!
