Thanksgiving

I am thankful for my family, but gosh, why didn't I take a family photo on this day? We were actually kind of matching. (Jared and Rocco actually had matching shirts) I took cute ones of the boys and Rocco took a cute one of Jared and I but we didn't get one all together. Man oh man, next time for sure.

We had thanksgiving at Mimi and Pop's house. Jared's cousin Cora was there too and we had fun catching up with her.  We went around the table saying what we are thankful for. When it came to Rocco he said nothing. I think he felt like he was in the spot light and everyone was watching. He was the second one to go. It reminded me of the time we did this at the Long's and we each had to say something nice about the person next to us. Stephanie had to say something nice about me and she said she couldn't think of anything. I know, the funny things we remember. She got in trouble a little because it was not nice.

Rocco next time be prepared to answer this question!

Derby Session

Brian came to visit and they took Rocco to skate derby on the westside. Rocco had fun going down the snake with Dad following behind. He is just learning to stand up but this session he just rode on his knee. Trying to keep up with the big kids and ride fast.

The Skateboarding Cat

Put Daktari on the skateboard and he actually didn't mind it. He actually road on it a couple of time back and forth. Made both Rocco and I laugh. Not only is he 17 years old, he skateboards too.

Shower Time

Captured these pictures while Rocco was working hard in the shower. He loves to take the soap and wash the windows. He sings a song while he does it too. My favorite part is his beautiful smile.

Daktari Loves Rocco

Daktari's latest favorite spot is to sit on Rocco's lap. A few sunny mornings in a row this is where I found these two. Love them!

Fishing the Pier with Dad

This year there was a ton and I mean a ton of birds eating the large amount of anchovies in the water. This also brought whales, dolphins and sea lions to the shores for the feast. It lasted a couple of months and it was a beautiful sight to see even from the shores. You can see in this fishing photo how many birds were around. Not good for swimming but fun to watch.

Minus Tide and This Cute Kid

One thing we love to do is explore the sea during minus tide. It is so great to be able to see all the wonders of the sea up close. The water is calm and exploring is at it's best.
