I like . . .

Dr. Pepper not Pepsi
Fox News not CNN
the Angels not the Yankees
Mac not PC
Dogs not cats
Letterman not Leno (Nathan likes Leno.  This means there is a lot of channeling flipping around 10:35!)
Sean Hannity more than Rush Limbaugh
Hot dogs not hamburgers (unless it is In N Out burgers)
CSI not Law and Order
Baseball not basketball
Nike not Addidas
Lounging by the pool not swimming
Grey's Anatomy not ER
Facebook more than myspace
Taco Bueno not Taco Bell
Hannah Montana not Sponge Bob
Chicken not fish
Wii Fit not PS2
Running on the treadmill not outside
Saturdays not Mondays
Target not Wal-Mart
RV camping not tent camping


I like Mom's chocolate pie, the beach, family dinners, Nathan's work ethic, Nolan's laugh, Kaylee's smile, finishing homework, watching a child finally "get it," Days of Our Lives, American Girl, finding a good deal, wine, Costco, Gymboree, Ann Taylor Loft, Sprouts, teaching, coffee, warm brownies, bare minerals makeup, traveling, time with girl friends, and cooking.

Fun at the Beach

We have been enjoying time in the central California beach town of Cayucos. Nathan's aunt lives there and it has been a family tradition for their family to attend the 4th of July parade and festivities. Nathan's parents rent a beach house and we gladly join them for many fun family activitites. Here are just a few pictures from the week. I will try to post more later!!

Can you tell she really loved the wetsuit?

Nolan is thinking, "Sister, get off the Boogie board."
