Father and Son

We went to the beach for a couple of days to get away and relax.You can only really relax so much with a little one...We stayed in a hotel right on the beach which was great because I could take Brandon for his naptime with out having everyone lose their beach time. We went for a lot of walks,rode our bikes and went to eat. We headed over to Newport to go to Fashion Island and ate at the Cheesecake Factory my favorite!!! It overlooks the ocean and I love the athmosphere makes me feel rich....back to reality my husband says but a girl can dream....

Bikes on the Beach

Daryl

Here we are ready to ride our bikes at the beach. We rode our bikes and Justin rode his new scooter. not really fair that we had all the hard work and he just rode around without even getting tired. the joys of being a kid these days..The beach has so many pedestrians you have to be careful not to run anyone over at least on purpose that is...

Class of '91 Reunion Planning

We are busy planning our 20 year high school reunion. With two months away we are in full swing. There is alot to do when planning a huge event like this. We have been working extremely hard and can't wait for the final product to be revealed. Thanks to everyone involved in the planning process we could not have done it with out you. These are some of the ideas that I have seen on the web and are looking for centerpiece ideas and decor. If anyone has some great ideas please let us know. Looking for a great reunion can't wait!

Brandon's First Haircut

Such a good boy!

I took Brandon to get his very first haircut because I was not doing that good of a job myself uneven sides and such. It is hard when they do not sit still for 2 seconds. Anyways we went to Sports Clips and he was a trooper. My friend Krista and her three boys were there so Brandon had moral support. Great Job Brandon!

The Cousins

My niece and I

My nephew and I

We had a celebration and rememberence day for Tsutomu Tanimoto. He was my father in law who passed away 5 years ago. We all went to Rose Hills to his grave site and spent time remembering the fun we all shared with him. I then went to visit my dad whom I lost way to soon. There are many things you can learn from everything that happens in your life, and I am still learning from this. Life is too short, live as if each day was your last!
