FamilyFest 2010



Made a last minute trip to the husband's home town of Sanger this past weekend. Lots of family stuff going on. Here was the low down.

1. Went to visit our Step Mom Faith to get her mind off a few things.

2. Went to visit our Grandma and Grandpa (the hubby's grandparents) because it was their 61st Anniversary! Can you believe 61 years? The hubby and I will be in our nineties if we make 61 years. The hubby's grandparents hosted a lunch at Harry's in Reedley. I found out two things: The tri-tip sandwich is yummy and next time I am checking out the spaghetti because over half the people ordered it. Above: Is Great Grandma June with her great grandson, Clayton. It was nice to catch up with all of the hubby's family whom I normally talk to on FaceBook but don't get to see very much.

3. Went to visit Morris, Brian's dad to wish him a very happy birthday!

We had a really good time hanging out with everyone. I was especially happy to make the following discovery during our trip: hot Cheetos with Jalapeno cheese is really good. Seems it's the favorite snack of choice for the teens these days. Who knew? Everyone seems to be doing good. The Rusca's got a new MAC so all the kiddies that come over have fun playing with the different apps. My nephew Clayton is getting bigger and bigger and still likes the Pokemon. Faith and Morris' dog, Andy seems to be doing okay after an emergency room trip due to a swallowed toothpick in an appetizer. They are preparing for another Disney World trip, a China trip and an Egypt trip. So jealous! Like always, on the way out, I left something behind at Rosemary's....this time my new plates!! Argh. At least I didn't break a jar of honey on their front porch this time.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
