October 2008 - Anaheim Auto Show

We usually go to the LA Auto Show, but we decided to try the Anaheim one instead this year. Tyler seems to share my interest in cars, and asks me what the car's make & model is when we are on the road. Our first stop at the show was by the DeLorean's - dated, but still cool in my book!

Here are Mike and Tyler with the Ford Mustang's done up for the "Transformers" movie

Tyler and the "Speedracer"

I could really go for one of these Audi's!!

September 2008 - Canyon Lake

Mike's Uncle Jon and his wife Jerrie have recently moved to California, and we got to go and visit them. They live in a gated community on a lake called Canyon Lake. After swimming in their pool and having a BBQ, we went for a drive in their golf cart...

We had a really great time, and we are glad to have more family close by!!

September 2008 - Marina Del Rey

Nicole gets out of school early on a Wednesday, and I had heard about a local park where the kids can ride bikes, so we went to go and check it out. The Park is in Marina Del Rey, and it serves as a good reminder of how close we are to the ocean and all of its wonders.

September 2008 - Nicole ditches her training wheels

You know that your kids are growing up too fast when they start loosing their teeth, and they ask for their training wheels to be removed. I cannot believe that Nic is almost 6!! So, here she is with her bike with no more training wheels...

Here is our girl in action...

September 2008 - First Grade

The day has finally arrived when the kids go back to school. It was a really fun summer, and it was so much fun to be with the kids, but it was EXHAUSTING!!! 9 weeks...I guess that the teachers deserved the break! Well, Nicole was off to First Grade, new lunchbox in tow and all!!

And, on the first day of first grade, Nicole lost her first tooth...
