LOOK WHO'S HERE!!!

UNCLE POOH!! We'd like to think he just came to visit because he LOVES us but really he's bunking here while he takes a class in Sac! Oh well, we'll take any visit we can! The kids love their Uncle Pooh!! Even Cheetoh had to get in the picture!!

AT LAST, SHE'S HOME!!

After being "GONE" for TWO WEEKS Francine has finally come home!! Thank goodness she's OKAY! We have no idea where she's been...but are so happy she found her way home!!

FIRST PEJA...NOW THIS....

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse....I find out we've all been DUPED by James Frey! That just stinks...I really LOVED this book! Tune into Oprah today for her Live Show with him!

Love this pic, found it on another blog!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!

BASKETBALL HAS BEGUN!

As most of you know, our family LOVES basketball! Saturday was opening day for DYBL. It was a BIG day...Jake's first game!! And, can't forget Joe's debut as Coach!! He was up and dressed by 6:30 for his 11:45 game! After watching Justin for so long he was so excited to finally be playing!!! Thanks to our friends and Justin's friends who came to watch! He felt awful special!! I LOVE watching Division 1 - everyone is a winner!! (These aren't the greatest shots...but had to post anyways! Time for a new camera!!!!)

Here he is going for the shot! #55 of the Blue Thunder!

D-E-F-E-N-S-E.....

Warm ups.... And of course, Justin! #22 of the Black Sasquatch's! The silly boys came up with the name :-)) Justin is beyond thrilled to finally be on the SAME team as Wolfie!! Actually, all the kids on his team are buddies of his! The rest of his good buddies are on the team that practices with his team! The Sasquatch's did really well and won their first game! Justin even had FOUR fouls! That's more than he had ALL season last year!!! Freethrow....
And that's all I have! Next week I'll get some better pics hopefully! My camera stinks!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POP & SHIRLEY!

Today is a special day! It's both of Joe's parents Birthday! It's an even extra special one for Shirley! We all hope you both have a great birthday and spoil each other!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER!

Today is our nephew Christopher turns TWO! We all wish you a very Happy Birthday! Such a cutie-patootie!

SNOWY LAKE ALMANOR

Justin & Jake spent the week with Aunt Kelly & Uncle Brian up at Lake Almanor. They were so excited to go up to the snow! A huge THANKS to Kelly & Brian for watching them for us! They had a great time! My mom sent some great pics of all 3 boys and the snowy drive up there, but for some reason I can't upload them :-((

Even the snow won't keep the deer away!
Momo & Papa stayed a few days then took Joshy back with them. THANKS Momo & Papa! I'm surprised you got him out of this chair...he looks way too comfy and making himself right at home!

The boys were so excited it snowed while they were there! I think this is Jake's first time in the snow?!?! Poor kid...I'm becoming more of a fair weather kind of girl!
Justin catching some air on the disc at the golf course!
Jake doing exactly what his big brother is doing...can you see the smile on his face???

CARNIVAL FUNSHIP CRUISE!

What a great week we had with our friends... Julie & Jun, Rob & Steph, Terry & Joanna, Jimmy & Vicki, Tom & Stacie and Luis & Lorraine! We went on the 5 day Crnival Funship Cruise to Catalina & Ensenada. Despite the horrible storm we had to fly out and land in early Monday morning, everything else went perfect! We had many laughs, drinks, fun at the Ports, and a wee-bit of relaxing on our day at sea! The weather was perfect! I have tons of snapshots I am going to put into a flickr show, but for now here's a peek at our Carnival photos...$100 bucks later! The only problem so far is the boat is still rockin' and the cocktail waiter HAS NOT been by to take my order!!!!

The group....
The guys...Terry, Tom, Jun, Jimmy, Luis (aka our B list Cuban friend on the "Federal no-flight List".... and Rob & Joe in the front
Formal night...this is as formal as you will ever see me!!!!!!!!!!
