Summer Stroll

June 26, 2009
This evening, my mom and I took the kids to Plumas Street for the annual Summer Stroll. It was a nice night. Always fun to see friends along the way, eat yummy food, watch the kids have a great time and purchase a few fabulous finds at our local shops.

Go Gold Sox!

June 20, 2009






This evening was the second time that we had attended a Gold Sox game. It's funny...we realized that the last time we attended a game was when Gannon was 4 months old AND on our second visit, Mila is 4 months old. We had such a great time that we're pretty sure we'll be back sooner than later. The fantastic fireworks show definitely inspired us to return!



Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

June 13, 2009
What a great day we had at Six Flags!!!


Gannon loves his thrill rides...
It was fun to see Sir Topham Hatt...
Mila was a great girl all day!


Gannon had a shark painted on his cheek - awesome...
The Shouka Show was so great. We sat in the splash zone and left the show WET!


The Butterfly Garden was amazing...


Tava's Jungleland was probably Gannon's favorite part of the day...

because of this - his first elephant ride.
He thought that he was Indiana Jones!

Jocko the Walrus was adorable...so sweet.


Gannon and I with the Six Flags guy - Gannon thinks he is so funny, I think he's a bit creepy.
We'll be back!!!

She is 16 weeks old...

And Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!

End of Preschool - kind of...

June 11, 2009
Do you remember back at the beginning of this preschool year when Gannon received a homework assignment to create himself? (See post from September 15, 2008) Well - look at what was done with the little G! A monthly book of self-portraiture called "All About Me". Now that is a true treasure!!! His teachers are brilliant.

Another update that we received today: Today was Miss Rebecca's last day with NAPS (sigh...yes, I am wiping a tear away). I will miss her, but not as much as my Gannon will when he realizes that she wasn't kidding that she wouldn't be back. I just know that on Tuesday when summer preschool resumes that I will pick Gannon up and he will say, "Miss Rebecca wasn't at school today." He'll probaby think she is in New York again, at least for awhile. Thank goodness that I have her number for emergencies when a Miss Rebecca hit is necessary.



Lastly, notice Gannon's shirt-isn't that the best?! If you've seen UP! you'll recognize this sweet shirt and if you haven't seen the movie UP! I HIGHLY recommend it. Wonderful and sweet movie.

Collins Lake

June 8, 2009


We headed to the gold country foothills for a little fishing and a lunch picnic. I haven't been to Collins Lake since high school where I have many, many fun (and crazy) memories, so it was nice to create new moments with my family. Richard even caught a small or miniature mouth bass for Gannon to reel in. Simple and fun day!
