Storm Trooper!

My nephew Jasen (6), saved up his money for two months to buy a storm trooper mask. He loves Star Wars, can you tell?!

One week to go!

We had our walk through today. Everything looks good! There are a few touch ups to be done, and a little more cleaning, but the house looks great! The are going to replace some of the concrete in the garage because it has a crack in it, but that is the most major fix. Next Wednesday we will have another walk through, and then we will get our keys! Hooray!!!

Camping in Marin County

Last week we went to Camp Taylor for one night. We weren't too far from Point Reyes, so we drove over to the light house. The road was closed but Dad, Anne, and I carried the girls to the stairs, which were locked. It was really cold, windy, and foggy, but a lot of fun.

"Papa Gene", Jocelyn, Charly, and Anne on the rocks.

"Grandma Neece" and Jocelyn at Drakes Beach. Brrr cold!!!

Charly and Anne doing the camping thing.

Fun at Stinson.

Charly really liked the sand ...

...until she got it in her mouth. Actually she didn't really mind it.

Fun at the Golden Gate, or the pretty bridge as Jocelyn called it. She didn't like the Bay Bridge because it wasn't pretty : )

Coit Tower! Just like on Little Einsteins!

Flower Garden in Golden Gate Park.

It was a fun trip, even if I was sick!

Sick and tired of being sick and tired!

I am sick, yet again! I had a nasty case of tonsillitis the week before the girls came. The 4th time I have had it in the last year and a half! It finally went away and I was ok for about a week. Then Tuesday I come down with a head cold! I am miserable! All I want to do is sleep, but we are short at work as usual, so I can't call in sick. I went camping for two days while I was sick, which was silly, but it was the last time I could spend with the girls before they leave. So I went anyways. Now I feel horrible even after getting lots of sleep last night. At least I have Sunday off so I can relax and hopefully get better!

The Jelly Belly Factory

My Mom, Dad, Anne, Jocelyn, Charlotte, and I went to the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield. I haven't been in Like 15 years, so it was fun to go again.

Jocely, Charly, Mom, and a Bean

Jocelyn, Charly, and me. I took Charly on the tour in the carrier. She didn't like it at first, but she got used to it. This pic was at the end of the tour, so we were all hungry and tired!

John's Incredible Pizza

Last Thursday, my Mom, Anne, Jocelyn, Charlotte, and I went to John's Incredible Pizza, and boy was it incredible! The food was yummy, the games were fun, and it was reasonably priced. Fun was had by all!

Anne and Jocelyn on the rollercoaster

Charly on the merry-go-round. She loved that thing. She must have ridden it 5 times.

The Frog Hopper! Yup, thats me in the middle with all the kids. What can I say, I'm a kid at heart!

House Update 08/05/08

Saturday I went to the house with my family. This is a pic of the landscaped front yard. The workers had a truck parked in front of the house, so I couldn't get a full picture.
