San Diego Zoo Trip

Eli’s Grandma & Grandpa got Lyndsey and I season passes to the World Famous San Diego Zoo for his first birthday present. This way Eli can see all the crazy wild animals as much as possible. Since the zoo is only 15 minutes from the house or less, it is a great gift. Lyndsey [...]

A Day at the Park

Lately Eli and I have been visiting the baby park down the street every morning before the big kids show up. He is loving the swing and the slide the best.

A couple of days ago we started “Ferberizing” him. Which means letting him cry it out in his crib until he falls asleep. Up until [...]

at the Beach

waiting for the sun…

Well so far it has been a pretty uneventful summer here in San Diego as far as beach days. This is because the sun has been shining about as many days that you can count on one hand. If the sun isn’t shining it has been pretty gloomy, cold and gray. [...]

July 2010 Garden Update: Growing them Big

We really have not seen that much of the sun over the past couple of weeks. June gloom has turned into June/July Gloom.  Eli and the plants do not seem to mind as they continue to grow, sunshine or not.

The Zucchini’s that we have been harvesting this year have been ridiculous. They just seam to get bigger and [...]

1st Annual Ocean Beach Garden Party Tour

A couple of weekends ago we sent out an email to a couple of our neighborhood friends to see if they’d like to partake in a garden party tour. Here’s what it said,

“Summer is here and are gardens are almost in full bloom! Our guys have been toiling away in the garden for months now [...]

Socializing

Our friends had us out for a BBQ last Saturday in Rancho Santa Fe. It was Lyndsey, Eli and I along with five other couples, three of which had babies. One of the girls had a nice camera and took some cute picts of the the little ones.

It amuses me how we spend so much [...]

The Ground Keeps Shaking

It turns out that the 7.2 magnitude earthquake on Easter Sunday just outside of Mexicali in the Mexican State of Baja California was only just the beginning.  We felt another quake on Monday morning, and more small trembles throughout the week. Then Lyndsey came home from her sign language class with Eli  this afternoon and [...]

Yard Work

This past week was so nice out that Ricky and I spent alot of time working in the yard. I am so glad that spring is here and summer is right around the corner. I kind of feel like I missed out on it last year in way because I was so preoccupied with my [...]

Localism 101

Trestles Trail South OC

After running into disgruntle locals the other day at Sunset Cliffs it got me thinking about the topic of  localism, and how it works with Surfing. Many people are fascinated by surfing and the art of riding waves, but until they strap that leash on and attempt to catch a wave, [...]

Beach Day

We decided to work a half day yesterday so that we could take advantage of the uncrowded beach and 80 degree weather we are having here in San Diego. Needless to say it was Eli’s first official trip to the beach. He had been to the water and the cliffs a number of times, but [...]
