Little Grandma Dorothy

Grandma Dorothy, approximately age 5.
(Michael's Grandma)

Michael has been doing some investigating on Ancestry.com, and he was contacted by a distant cousin, who emailed us this picture of Grandma Dorothy.

I see sassy runs in the family.

(That explains a lot about our Emma Jean.)

Aquatic Center

Gina, Kayla and Sean came up from Huntington Beach to meet for lunch and go to the Aquatic Center.

We had a large group, me, Lauren, Emma, Hunter, Wayne, Kristin, My Mom, John, and Gina's parents Doug and Maggie.

Neal Pumpkin Patch

We fancy ourselves farmers around here. Our veggie garden is not going so great this year, mostly we are growing cherry tomatoes. Nothing else made it to harvest this year, but we are growing "Big Mac " pumpkins. And we have a contender. It is pretty big now, so we are hopeful. It has started turning orange and that may be a sign it will not get much bigger, but we will keep you updated.

The second picture is a "Big Mac" we purchased at Lombardi Ranch two years ago.
