Yuba Day

In the Summer, we usually swim at the South Yuba River. The water is refreshing on a hot, humid day.

This is the view, looking south/west, from the old bridge.

Christy's slathers herself with sunscreen.......

Jeremiah flew out this past Friday. Saturday was Cacey's Birthday, but we celebrated it on Friday evening. Everyone was there except Caleb. We had Spare Ribs, String Beans and Cheesy Potatoes. Cacey went and bought a small Ice Cream Cake. Unfortunately, we forgot candles, but Cacey did not care, so we just used 9 regular, little medium sized, scented candles. Then on Saturday night we went to the rodeo which Grass Valley has every year. Okay........here is what Miah really looks like, opposed to that gorilla picture........I still think they look similar.

At Sea

Caleb and Jeremiah are in the Merchant Marines at Texas A&M.

Cabe on watch looking out from the bridge of the ship on his way to Subic Bay in the Philippines.

Most recent picture of Jeremiah (minus the uniform). He thinks he's pretty gorgeous.

Happy Birthday Uncle Mike!

Today is Uncle Mike's Birthday!

Here are a few unknown and interesting facts about him:

1. He used to like to snow ski (now he justs golfs).
2. We are always tired after we see him because he fills every minute of our time together with cultural activities.
3. He is a great attorney.
4. He stores his birthday cards from us (unopened) with his bills (they must be very important to him).
5. He loves to travel.
6. He cooks healthy elegant dinners (candles and wine, etc.) with Aunt Kathryn.
7. His laugh is memorable and comes from down deep inside him (Christy can imitate it perfectly).
8. He looooooooooves hot chocolate (we always have some when we are with him).
9. We miss him.
10.We love you Uncle Mike.

We're Back!

We have been very busy lately. (Kind of a silly statement, considering we are always busy as most people are.) So, these are only a few of the pictures from the dozens of photos I had to choose from that Christy and Joy took. Christy and Joy have kept their end of the deal, which was that they would provide the pictures, providing that I posted them consistently everyday.....Oh, well...........................no one is perfect.
