Blog atrophy and the Facebook effect

It has been brought to my attention that I have been remiss in my blog updates, and have instead spent too much time posting things to Facebook. Guilty!  In order to mea culpa, I present..

Halloween - 2011 and others....

After taking this year's Halloween picture, it made me all nostalgic.  So I went thru my files and, well, here ya go!

Morro Bay Weekend

(left to right) Jacob, Ann, Steve, Teresa, David- on the ground- Jennie, Cindy, Scruffy, Chris, and Jacopot.

 We were in Morro Bay this weekend for the Montan de Oro Trail run...unfortunately, the race was canceled. That didn't seem to bother Jacob and Jennie!

We had really great weather for the weekend, so we all got a few runs in anyway.  We then went down to the beach with the whole gang  - Steve, Teresa, Chris, Cindy, Ann, David, Jacob, Jennie, Jacpot and Scruffy!  We were joined by our friend Frank (aka Flounder) and his dog Piper.  Too much fun in the surf was had by all.

The Girls of Morro Bay!

Check out the cool hats on Steve and Flounder!

A man and his dog....or a Dog and his man!

Cute, right?  Except Jacob is holding Jennie so that she can't run away from the waves coming in!

I think that this is what joy looks like.

I'm pretty sure that this is what goofy looks like :) !

Jacpot and Piper.

Piper is a speedy pooch.

Jacpot almost ran into me trying to catch the Frisbee.

Air time!

Looking good!

Spring Recital

Back in May, the kids had their recital - Jennie for dance (Jazz, Ballet, Tap) and Jacob for guitar.  We just got the DVD of the performance and photos of the rehearsals.

Disneyland - Yes, again!

With Jacob having a shortened summer (he starts Jr. High August 8th) we thought we would get a trip to Disneyland in before the summer faded away.

Deep in thought...
