What a better way to ring in the New Year than with some college football and a wedding?

Micheal and Erin finally tied the knot of wedding bliss at Castle Green in Pasadena on January 2, 2010 at 5:00pm on a sunny winter day. We wish them nothing but happiness and joy for all time. We are so blessed to add such a peaceful soul to our continuously growing family.

Brendan can grow a killer beard that can send any man into a fit of shame.

Catch Up Week 4: Newport Christmas Boat Parade

It was a beautiful night the weekend before Christmas. So we ( me, Mom, Dad, Brendan, Marsha, and Sean) bundled up with warm clothes and snacks to watch the annual Newport Christmas Boat Parade.
Every year, in the Balboa peninsula, the people who can afford yachts and everything in between decorate their floaters in crazy lights. Onlookers fill the Fun Zone so we walked to the "little beach" to watch the parade.

Catch Up Week 3: Polar Express

Grab your ticket and board the Polar Express.

In Fillmore they have come up with an amazing money making plan: name a train the Polar Express, sell tickets at a high price, have the children come in their pajamas, give them cookies and chocolate milk, have Santa board the train to hand out candy canes, and sing Christmas Caroles. Cha-ching!
Cannon and Roman had a blast. Roman's eyes were so wide when Santa came aboard while Cannon was shouting out to Santa the things he wanted for Christmas.
