Another bucket list item my mom had was to celebrate Christmas one more time. She was really sad to think of missing it. So, we decided to have Christmas that Wednesday!

Our friends, Reb and Bev, invited us again to their family camp. They had been going to the same place for over 20 years. We enjoyed our time with them last year and looked forward to going again this year. DH had to stay home, but I took the boys with me. S’mores every night! […]

We surprised the boys by taking them to the Cal State Fair. (This in and of itself is not a surprise; Cal State Fair is a client of DH’s and we get passes every year…) …the big surprise was that we went on an evening that celebrity skateboarder, Tony Hawk, and other pros were putting […]
