"Bear Down, Chicago Bears..."

On Saturday night, Rick and I took the girls to their very first Chicago Bears game. Both the girls got into the game, cheering, high-fiving everyone around us, and of course singing the "Bear Down" song. We ended up beating the NY Giants 17-3. We were looking good.

Hopefully that continues all season.

GO BEARS!!!!!

California Dreamin'

Last Wednesday August 12th, we took our first trip to California with the girls. It was their first airplane ride also. They did great on the plane (Thank God for portable DVD players!!) The trip itself was an experience. It was definitely NOT a vacation. At points, it was very stressful, and then it would be wonderful. All in all, the girls had a great time playing on the beach, going to Sea World, and meeting all our friends back in L.A. and San Diego.

"Papa, Did you fasten your seat belt?"

"WOW! Check out all this sand!!"

A Visit to Lamb's Farm

On Thursday we met Tia Lindsay, Caroline, Clayton, and Austin at Lamb's farm. The girls had a great time! They love farm animals, and they loved hanging out with their Godsister and brothers.

"WOW, What a big cow!"
"WOW, an even BIGGER cow!!!"

Happy Birthday Papa!!!

On Sunday July12th was Rick's 34th birthday. On the Friday before, I took him to Orso's for dinner and to go see the new Transformers movie at the Imax( which was awesome!) Then on Sunday, me and the girls took him out for breakfast to our favorite local spot, and for dinner all the family went to Cafe Iberico. He had a great birthday weekend, well deserved!

We love you Papa!!
