Josh's First Gig
Sunday, September 28, 2008
Last night, Josh and
his friend, Victor, played their first gig at
The Mighty Cup, in Glendale, AZ
as The Carnations. I got there a few
minutes late (blaming traffic, fire trucks, and
distance). It was a very comfortable, little
place and the weather was perfect. They played
outdoors, in the front area, for about half an
hour. I videotaped and took some photos. It was
cool to be there and remember my first gig in
Arizona back on May 2nd, 1997. I have the taped
audio recording of my gig and will be
transferring it to a digital file soon.
I’m glad I was there to witness
Josh’s performance.
Josh also turned 18 on Friday. We will be celebrating this evening at his grandma’s house.

Legoland and the Ocean
Monday, September 22, 2008
Yesterday, we got back from our quick trip to
San Diego, visiting Legoland, their new Sealife Aquarium, and the
ocean. After picking up Skyler at his school, we spent a day at
the beach and the two parks. The next day we
met up with Mark and Jenny and their two
twin boys, who are a few months older than
Skyler. Everyone had a great time and lots
of pictures were taken. I even videotaped
Skyler on the little gokarts, documenting
his numerous crashes into the wall. It was
very funny!
Skyler also started using a new phrase when he drops something. It is something that shouldn’t be said and I won’t type it here. We are redirecting him to say “Holy Moly” instead.
Check out the photos.

We went over to my parent’s house for a
little birthday celebration for my dad. He turns
the big 6-Oh next year! Skyler got to see hi
great-grandma Elsie and play with his cousin,
Lukas. Check out
the photos.
Notice how intently Skyler is looking towards the cake!

Skyler invited his friend, Eliana, to go
swimming. She brought her baby brother, Ethan,
too. Everyone had lots of fun and there were
some tears as the day ended. Check out the
photos.
Naval Academy Graduation
Monday, September 01, 2008
Renea got back from
seeing Ashley graduate from the language school in
Monterrey, California. She is not
sure of what her next orders will be, so there
is a lot of necessary patience. Her friend,
Melissa, and Patrick’s mother also visited
for the weekend.
