Fire Truck Pizza & More

Above – So cute engulfed in bubbles.

Last weekend Ron and the kids stopped by, and perfect timing … The neighbors next door were having a birthday party for their 1-year old complete with a fire truck converted to a wood fired pizza oven and delivery truck.

These neighbors have a hatch in their deck that leads down to the ground level, same as our deck. Of course Ron & the kids had to try it out. 

We’ve got our own tractor. The City is doing road work and we’ve been stuck with this eye sore for the past month. I think it’ll be another month (at least) before it’s gone.

Sparty and Maya before the bubbles got out of hand. Sparts doesn’t like when I turn the air bubbles on so I had to wait for him to be done before going bubble wild.

Here’s a special birthday card. We were going to make this with Maya but Ron & Sparty came by to get Maya so you’re getting a bonus!

We love you very much & hope you have a great day!

Nursing Ernie

Above – Alo takes a little time in the rocker to feed Ernie. Hilarious!

Now to the boy stuff. This brings back memories of when I was little and we used to go to the fire station to visit my dad.

If you look closely in the middle of this photo on the tile roof across the street from our house you will see an egret.

Last week low tide. Looking south from Froude Street.

Looking directly down at No Surf. It doesn’t get this low that often.

Future’s so bright …

More on Mothers Day

Maya changes into Sparty’s new Spider-Man jammies (leaving Sparty to wear hers…).

Before everyone came over I did a short restorative practice while Ziggy gets as close up and personal as he can.

Mothers Day Cheers!

Oh, there were other toasts.


Let’s not forget the kids …

Opening and closing the gate had great entertainment value.Ron arranged the whole event, pairing wine with various cheeses and crackers. A good time was had by all!

Happy Mothers Day!

Above – I was surprised yesterday when these beautiful flowers were delivered from my beautiful niece Jamie. Then later with a card that was so nice it brought me to tears. 


Below – (Friday) Sparty hanging out by the box of presents we brought him for his 2nd birthday.

Maya in the cowboy costume with Sparty as a fireman in the background doing what firemen do best … going shopping!

You don’t want to know how much ice cream cake this girl can put down!

Sparts did a pretty good job with his too.


Kando turned 9 months last week!


In case you tune in today … Happy birthday to my favorite cousins Tony & Karen. I love you both very much and hope you have a great day, but that Karen’s day is just a teeny tiny bit better because it’s also Mothers Day!


And Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. I love you very much!

Happy Second Birthday Sparty

Ron and Jen took the kids to Disneyland for Sparty’s birthday. It looks like they had a great time!

I like this photo where the birthday boy just woke up from a nap. Every kid should have a photo in his car seat with Mickey Mouse!
