Taylor and Jayden

Candi and I took Taylor and Jayden to CALM. (California Living Musuem) Which is a little zoo with a few animals that are native to the area in Bakersfield. It was very hot outside that day... it was August in Bakersfield. The kids really enjoyed this day and after looking at the animals we played for a little while on the playground and then they even let us take a few more pictures. Taylor in the bottom picture is pretending she is a jaguar. Aren't they just so cute?? I know I think so!!

Old Friends with new little ones.

Carleigh Munchalfen, about six weeks old now. Daughter of Katy Munchalfen, who I babysat as a baby and has been a part of our lives for a very long time.

Myself with Zachery Lee, and Brayden Lee. Kids from Erin Lee (maiden name Munchalfen). Erin is the older sister of Katy and has also been a part of our lives for many years. She has lived with us at times and has become a part of our family. Here are her kids at IHOP in Bakersfield. Wow... they are getting big so fast.

Erin with her family.... Hard to believe she is old enough but she is and she is doing a great job as Mommy.

Two of my wonderful Grandkids!!

Class 0f '79 Old Friends

A few of us from the Class of '79 from Charter Oak High School got together for a little fun. It was really nice to see old friends and just enjoy acting like kids again. Buggs, Sharon and I met for dinner at a nice restaurant in La Verne for some tapanyaki. Then after dinner we drove down to Dana Point were Joe and his band were playing at Jolly Roger's. We sat around talking and enjoying the music. And enjoying a few drinks as well. It sure would be nice to see the group of old friends grow and more of us get together. We aren't that far off from our 30 year reunion. Sure hope to be there and see everyone. Wow... 30 years already. I can't possibly be that old... can I???

Logan playing with Grandpa

Logan is now three months old already! Wow, time flies by. He is here playing with his Grandpa and having a lot of fun. He even was laughing! :) We were sitting at the table playing a new card game that Crystal and Tyler taught us and enjoying just being together with family. Logan was happy too! Just being held and being played with. He has to be a part of whatever fun is happening already. Don't you dare leave him out of the fun! Tyler, Crystal, Logan, Jimmy, Natalie, Bryant and I all played this new card game, golf. Bryant tends to win, but one of these times someone else may beat him. :)

Picking Raspberries July 2008

We went with Tyler, Crystal, and Logan to go pick raspberries. Crystal ate most of what she picked, I don't think any of hers ended up in the container to take home. A few she shared with Logan. He loved that!! He didn't want to let her pull her finger away until there was no flavor left on it at all. We enjoyed the day and have enjoyed the raspberries. Now I need to learn to make jam with all of these wonderful berries all around us.
