Birthday Celebration with Ryley!

Almost, the entire family was in attendance for the birthday celebration for Melissa and Ryley this past weekend! We even extended to family with Gabe, Valerie, Ainsley and Mila....And yup, we're still hanging out even after the dinner! Ryley also had a couple of her friends in attendance and also EJ, friends of Bob and Chris! WHAT A PARTY!

WOW! What a weekend!

Holy cow what a busy and fulfilling weekend! Friday night we ended up at a new pizza location here in town for the kids! Fun times, lil dry pizza, it was only the four of us, and we felt a bit lonely without our usual company(see Sunday)! Saturday, Derek did his ride while the kids played in the court, in the afternoon we took a much needed nap while Melissa headed out to the store! At night we all split up, Brady to an overnighter/bday party, Drew to the Drive-in with friends(thanks Machelle and Matt) and the adults headed to Vacaville to hang out and laugh with Val & Gabe!

Sunday morning we rolled home, picked up the kids, Melis got ready for Sara's(Cousin) shower and took off! Brady and I ran fun errands like cashing in his cans and bottles, then his highlight...an escorted trip to In & Out with Hannah! Ummmm, yes there is something going on there!

Then out of nowhere, Jamie came down on his Harley, took some photos, an hour later Val & Gabe plus kids roll in, then Didi, then Melis came back, Nana & Papa rolling later and before you know it, its a full on family day at the house! Love it! Too fun!

Spring break, here we come baby!

Snow, again!?!

So a miracle happened two weeks ago with some Brasileiro hitting the snow, now this is a religious miracle now! Again in the snow! This time The Orick's & Novaes' took the kids along! Every single one of the kids had fun going down the hill in the saucers and sledding thing-a-majig! Loads of pics were taken, but few as cute as Val & Drew together after a run down the hill! I think we'll start an annual tradition here...say WHAT!?!?

Spring storm in Sacramento!

After a great Thursday night training ride the skies were crazy in the Sacramento area! Hail and heavy rain, all of which missed me and my fellow other 40 riders in the airport area! Still looked cool!

Ahhhh...

Look what an iphone and an app called HD Pro can do to your pictures! Clouds, sunset and truck not included!

Spring Morning!

I decided to take a pic of this cluster of branches one morning, along with the sun! Turned out ok!

Dia do Lixo!

Another Friday, another dump day here! Its crazy how this lil man seems to still love and grow with his recycling and management of the garbage cans in our community!

A neighbor placed "regular" garbage in the "green" waste bin and Brady was not happy about it at all!

So watch your back people, Mr. Brady will check you out eventually!
