The Moran, Kastner and Machado Families!

Last Saturday we drove to Big Bear to meet up with Kevin's Aunt Bridget, Uncle Bob and their son Nathan and his friend. They live in the Bay Area so we don't get to see them as often as we would like but they stay at their friends cabin in Big Bear almost every summer so we made the 2 hour drive to see them along with Kevin's sister Michelle and her family.

We had such a great time and enjoyed every minute. We had lunch and spent some time at the cabin and then we drove down to Big Bear Lake before heading off to have dinner at a delicious BBQ restaurant that sits right by the lake. We said out goodbyes after that and headed home.

We left feeling a little sad that it had to end, but so happy knowing that we have family such as them. We will truly miss seeing them again until next time.

Who is it that you miss?

Fuzzy Cuzzies

We are off to pick up the "fuzzy cuzzies" and then we are going to see the FREE movie (Inkheart) at the theatre and have a fun day and then a sleepover tonight! Woohoo! Mattison can't come and we are going to miss him though! :(

Cyndy Leslie is the winner and said . . .

Cyndy Leslie wants to be at Bolsa Chica State Beach digging in the sand for what have to be the largest and prettiest shells I have ever seen at a Southern California beach! I would love to spend every day of summer there!! Of course the kids would have to be with me - they have been converted to beach bums!!

Cyndy, please email me with the chain length that you would like and I will get the necklace in the mail to you right away!


Also, I want to say happy birthday to my beautiful, wonderful sister, Robin! I love you with all of my heart! xox.

Love,
