Pismo Beach Getaway after Christmas....

Merry Christmas!!!!

I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas!! We enjoyed ours very much. We had family in town and we're able to spend a lot of time with them. We had them for a Christma's Eve dinner in our home. Kids were not in the naughty list this year so, Santa did come with the presents they wanted....Mike's parents invited us fo Christmas lunch....mmm yum!! bad thing we've gained a few extra pounds! We also celebrated 2 birthday parties for my 30 year old Sis-in-law Heather!! (Jason - her husband threw a nice surprise party for her) My little nephew Collin turned 4 yrs also. Here some pics of these events:

Happy Birthday Heather!!! and Little Collin !!!

Thanksgiving

Jr. Pheasant hunt

On 11/21/09, the boys went to Mendota pheasant hunting. Brandon was drawn for the jr. hunt, so he was the only one allowed to shoot. Mike, Kyle, our dog Casey, Mike's friend Andy and his dog Gunner all went to help Brandon kill 2 pheasants. Well, the dogs flushed up a total of 4 rooster pheasants. But, after not being able to take his gun off safety, not being able to fire, and two misses by Brandon, the only successful hunter was our dog Casey. She found this rooster, and caught it in mid air as it attempted to fly away. We sure are glad we had her, or we would have gone home empty handed,,,,,,,,Big Hunters!!!!! GOOD JOB CASEY!!!!!! Who trained that dog anyway?????

Halloween....

Smokey Run Race 2009

Well.... to be our first race ever, we did pretty good. It was a 2 mile race. Nicole and I took 2nd. place. Mike and Brandon got 4th, each one in their age group. It was fun and beautiful on the mountains (by Bass Lake).
