Summer Time

Baby it’s hot outside.  Ok, so maybe those global warming people are on to something.  These day after day nighty degree days are starting to get to us. Luckily, we’ve been able to get in the pool once the sun goes down.  And someone loves the pool. Lately, we’ve been working on his dive.  He’s …

Olympics

The Olympics started last week.  So, we’ve been busy watching and cheering on the USA.  Which got me to thinking…could the boy possibly be a future Olympian and if so, what sport. He definitely loves the water and as you can tell…already has his post race pose carefully thought out. He seems to have found …

Happy Birthday

When you turn 80, it’s almost guaranteed to be a big birthday celebration. But to make it a “secret” birthday party was like pulling of a top secret military operation.  And somehow, her three sons did it. We had fun celebrating with her.  The food, all homemade, by the boys was delicious.  The funny stories …

Cedar Point

The boy feels the need for speed.  Last week, we visited Cedar Point.  Let’s just say the boy is no longer into the kiddie rides. His first big boy ride was the Iron Dragon.  He jumped right on it with his cousin.  And came off laughing with joy. He followed that up with the Mean …

Pups

A little disclaimer, the grand pups clearly ruled the house before (and mostly) after the little guy arrived home.  My oldest pup is by far my favorite baby. So when we found that she had early onset heart disease, it rocked mommy’s world. Luckily, for now, her meds seem to be working. The sad part, …

Dreaming

A boy, and by that I mean a grown man (aka daddy) can dream.  The next day following the practice round this started: Oddly, it was the little guy who wanted to golf…and with that daddy beamed and whisked him out to the golf mat. After an hour hitting the balls and working on technique, …

PGA

This Tuesday, we headed to the PGA Championship to watch a practice round. Someone was super stoked…and no it wasn’t the little guy. Daddy and Pop Pop love golf. And now, they get to share that love with the little guy. Secretly, I think it would kill daddy if the little guy doesn’t love golf. …

Life

So clearly Uncle Michael is attempting to brib the boy. This became more obvious as we neared Dodger’s Stadium. He started with little things such as “isn’t Dodger blue your favorite color”. That escalated to a Dodger’s hat and not to be missed Dodger’s dog (which really is a glorified hot dog). When that didn’t …

Love

The beach life it is for me. One of our favorite spots in LA is Hermosa and Manhatten Beach. We love it for all of the activity. Beach volleyball tournament in progress, check. Long bicycle ride, check. Sand..lots and lots of sand, check. Frolicking in the Pacific, check. Someone was in his awesomeness zone.  That …
