For Randy’s birthday we decided to make a yummy dinner and a fancy dessert. Thomas Keller is no joke! I had to whip a meringue for inside the batter. Luckily, I had a cute helper.  It was worth all our effort and Randy loved it! As did everyone. The cake and cupcakes were a hugeContinue reading “35 years young!”

Guess who figured out how to climb out of his crib in California.  That’s right. This guy!  The first night Malcolm walked right into our room. It totally shocked me! Adam had never once crawled out of his crib and at two and half years old and I had to move him out to letContinue reading “Big Boy Bed”

I know you’re all ready to get back to our regularly scheduled programming, but first our trip home…. here are some highlights of our 24 hour trip. Here we are hopeful at the airport that all would go smoothly.  Our trip home was longer than the way there or so it felt. We flew UnitedContinue reading “The long road home”

After the Ley’s left we decided we needed a pick me up and we headed out to Big Sur for the day.  We were a little over half way when a state trooper stopped us and made us turn around. Route one was closed (still have no idea why) and we couldn’t get to BigContinue reading “17 miles of beauty”

And there is so much to catch you up on in Manila but for now back to vacation land and beautiful Cali.   While in the U.S. we managed to see peopleContinue reading “Go Fish”

We of course had to take some family pics before the Leys headed back to Detroit! Sandra got the boys these awesome shirts so all these little peanuts had matching shirts and were so cute!  We took some practice shots while waiting for the Leys to come over for our last night together.  Ever wonderContinue reading “Four little ants sitting on a log”

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip,that started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. This ship had three skippers who always think they’re in charge, four parents who think they’re in charge but never are and one toddler who actually is in charge.  Oh yeah, and thisContinue reading “A Three Hour Tour”
