Cousins

Above – Somewhere along I-5. Kando and Alo on their way to San Diego last Saturday … 

Bravery is shopping at Costco a week before Christmas. It wasn’t too bad.

Sunday we woke up to Robb and the kids being here after driving down from Walnut Creek. Then we had all the grandkids here in their pjs for breakfast.After breakfast the kids decided they would set up to be at the movies.Kando really likes Maya.And Ron claims I never make him cheesecake …The next morning Kando and Alo greeted me with smiles.
We got together at Great Grandmas for some holiday photos and somebody was being stubborn.The challenge is getting everyone to sit still, then to look, then to get everyone to smile.Ron sent me this photo of him and the kids at the gym.Today – a rainy day of football and kids, then tonight all the family gets together for dinner and gift exchange for the kids (although Santa came to our house on Wednesday!). 

I have many more really good photos I took this week that I will share in the coming days.

All Tuckered Out

Above – Group photo at Miguel’s with two very tuckered out little ones.

Below – Must be jet lag …Not long after that …Last evening – a birthday Skype with Robb and the boys …Adho Mukha Svanasana aka Downward Facing Dog pose.

I took many photos to get only a couple with the boys still enough to not be a blur. Alo and Kando are very busy boys.

Bees!

Above – Another photo of new bikes at Liberty Station.

A couple weeks ago Ron took the kids to see “The Bees,” literally! He’s got a friend who’s a bee keeper who allowed the kids an up close and personal look into bee keeping.

This kiddo loves bugs. Don’t worry, it’s a male bee. Males don’t have stingers.  This one on the other hand forced a pretty good smile considering she’s not as fond as her little friend. Can you tell?Hogan is pretty confused with this weather and is keeping himself out of the shade as much as possible these days. I believe it’s going to be a shorter than usual hibernation this year.


Morgan sent me this photo of JR from the Chargers game Sunday. I can’t believe how big & handsome he’s getting. Watch out ladies!!Blogged on Amma’s iPhone from SF with LOVE!

Big Bike Little Bike

Above – I don’t know where this was taken or whose bike it is but it sure is a cute picture of Maya.

Below – New bikes to ride with Daddy.

Face plant! “I ok.”

& Maya too (sequential) …


I somehow missed posting this one that Robb sent me a couple weeks ago. A great photo of the boys, all 3 of them. They sure love going on outings together.

This one’s for KJ. Dukha!! I ordered the dukha online and used the olive oil you bought. Very good stuff.Ron said the kids wanted to fly a kite…

Next up, Alo plays a bunch of musical instruments, also pre-Halloween.

I’ll close with this …

A special PS to Grandma JoJo … this morning I was talking to the kids about getting to fly to Ohio to see their Gramma JoJo & Maya said “She’s my favorite.” I said what about you other Gramma? & she said “I love all of them.” It was so sweet.
