We took Alex to the Spring Fling, he had fun hunting for eggs but he didn’t really care for the scary Easter bunny. His friends Aidan and Cassidy also went, they had so much fun!

Halloween Costume Party for Babies

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

Yesterday we went to Halloween party for babies which was just down the street from our house. We walked because it was so close, but it was pouring rain, luckily we have big umbrellas. Alex, who was in his bear costume, fell asleep on the way there. It with a group of moms that Julie goes out to lunch with on Wednesdays. It was a lot of fun, and it was great for me to meet everyone.

Labor Day on the Lynar-Liner

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

We had an awesome weekend! Our friends Nicole and Justin who have a son, Aidan, that’s about the same age as Alex invited us to stay in their families houseboat on Don Pedro Lake. There were a whole bunch of people there who were all cool and very nice. The houseboat was amazing, we slept inside the first night and moved to the top deck the second night. The stars in the night sky were beautiful. It was so much fun.

Happy Independence Day!

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

We went camping at Morgan Hill Thousand Trails this weekend, it was Alex’s first camping trip! He was fine the first night. The second night he may have been too cold, he woke up in the middle of the night and it took us two hours to get him back to sleep. On Saturday we went to the beach, it was a lot of fun, I got to fly my new kite, and we ate at Duarte’s Tavern and Restaurant in Pescadero.

Happy Easter!

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

We had an awesome Easter! It was a gorgeous day. We colored eggs and went to the Morcom Rose Garden in Oakland for an egg hunt! We made deviled eggs, salad, green beans and cooked a leg of lamb. Then Christopher & Deborah came over with two more legs of lamb, scalloped potatoes and green beans. We had the most wonderful feast! Christopher also made the most wonderful desert, a chocolate log, it was so good.

Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

Today we went and bought our Christmas tree. We went to the same place as last year, in the Heather Farm parking lot, Toby’s Trees. We looked at their “below average” sized trees and weren’t too happy with the selection, or the prices ranging from 40 to 50 dollars. A friendly employee asked us if we needed any help and they directed us to the back of the lot where the trees that had not yet been unbundled were. We found a tree that was a good height (not too tall) and someone unbundled it for us, it looked great! There wasn’t a price on the tree since it hadn’t been unbundled yet, so they had to call for a price check, we got the tree for only $19.99! Woohoo! When we brought the tree home I set it up and put the lights on it (with some help from my Dad), I also setup all of the lights on our balcony. Now we just need to decorate the tree, we’ve only placed about 5 ornaments so far.
