Darrell Finished the TRIATHALON!



Darrell participated in his first ever TRIATHALON...and he did awesome!! I was so proud of him...

We were at the finishe line to congratulate him...the event was at Lake Mission Viejo and it was a dreary day, perfect for a hard workout! He was 1.5 miles...

Then biked 26 miles on difficult terrain. He ended by running a 10K...it really is unbelieveable that a person can endure that kind of physical exercise!

Here he is beginning the swim...can you see him...he's the one in the purple cap!

His friend Steve was there also. He is one of Kyle's baseball coaches from long ago...




We are so proud of you Love...

PROM 2011

Last night Kyle and Chelsea went to their Senior Prom. They looked so beautiful!! They exchanged flowers...





They looked SO GREAT! I was a very proud Mama!


Not sure how these girls wear these high heels! I mean REALLY HIGH!

They got home VERY late, but I heard they had a great time!

Me and my BABY! LOVE THIS BOY SO MUCH!!

They went with a bunch of the baseball boys...they looked so handsome, I hardly recognize them without their hats and uniforms!!

Chelsea looked gorgeous!

We took pictures at a beautiful park overlooking the ocean. It was bittersweet for me, my baby is almost done with high school...sniff sniff!!

Darrell's New Office

Several months ago, Darrell got a new job...much closer to home! He was in charge of the construction project to build his new office and it's finished! It looks great and if you look out the window in the background, you can see the OCEAN!!
He is so busy at work, but enjoying his new job and the short commute! He even sold his Hybrid and got a different car!
Nathan left a drawing for him on his White Board! We're proud of you Love...

Spring Break

We started out our Spring Break on Sunday for breakfast at the beach! It was a beautiful sunny day and the breakfast was delicious...Darrell and Nathan had fun, even though the looks on their faces would prove otherwise! We ate at a new pancake restaurant called Stacks...
Then, we headed to San Clemente to check out the beach. The waves were huge and the undertow was nasty, swimming and wading were not allowed. BUT, the surfers were in full force. I don't think I have ever seen such big waves!
Nathan tried his hand at the photos...
On Monday we met Darrell for lunch. Nathan was intently listening to his Daddy...deep in conversation!
I think I need some make-up...or a tan!
After lunch, I dragged Nathan to a couple of thrift stores as I am looking for a new coffee table. He does NOT enjoy it...in fact he said that thrift stores "smell like poop and I feel like I need to shower when I leave!" His exact words

Wednesday we hit Target, Best Buy, and a couple of other errands! Nathan had a couple of friends over to swim, but they chickened out because it was too cold!
Today, we went to visit Betty who just got out of the hospital. The boys played catch in the street!
Darrell is training for his next half-marathon...
AND...I got to spend some time sprucing up the flowers! Tomorrow we are headed to San Diego...it's been a fun, relaxing week!

Flip Flops $1 at Old Navy

One can never have too many flip flops.
Yesterday we went to lunch and shopping with the Newbry girls (the boys were at the Doheney Blues Festival) and we went flip flop crazy. Ready for summer!!

San Clemente Farmer's Market

Yesterday morning, Darrell and I walked through the San Clemente Farmer's Market. I just love going there. You can see the ocean and buy great organic produce at the same time!!
Baby veggies...so cute!
Beautiful fresh cut flowers. I didn't buy any flowers.
To top it all off...a homemade pork tamale with fresh Mango salsa. What did we buy? A dozen organic Fuji apples, 3 avocadoes, 3 ears of corn, and a dozen brown eggs.

Weekend and Fireworks at the Beach

We spent many hours this weekend invading Tanya and Brets RV. They were staying right on the beach ($450 per night per space!) and we had a blast. Tanya's Mother-In-Law (aka Grandma Beth), Tanya, Mom, and Schuey the "Lap Dog!"
Darrell and Bret proving they are macho...ya whatever...
Larry enjoying the beautiful weather and views.
The kids just run amuck and have a blast. They are filthy by the end of the day.
Watching fireworks on the beach. They had a beautiful fireworks show and music to go along with it. We had a great time.
I'm even getting better at taking the fireworks photos. Thanks Tanya, Bret, Beth, Eldon, and Holly for sharing part of your vacation with us.

Grammy Takes the Kids To the Beach

My Mom (aka Grammy) is the BEST Grammy ever...or the craziest!! She took Nathan, Eldon, and Holly to the beach today. They looked so cute getting ready to go.
All the essentials...hat, boogie boards, sand buckets...jez, how long are you going to be gone?
Good bye cutie pies...don't forget to put on some sunscreen!
