My Kids

"They know me in a way no one ever has.

 They open me to things I never knew existed.
  

They drive me to insanity and push me to my depths.
  

They are the beat of my heart, the pulse of my veins,

and the energy in my soul."

They are my kids...

“The beach is in our blood.

Everyone in our family returns to the beach instinctively,

just like the sea turtles.”

A night out with my girls, Radojka, Jaime, Jen and Mia, at Olive Garden for Jaime's birthday (Isa was home with her Daddy).

Fun and food, always a good combo.
Happy Birthday Jaime

Six Words!

Jaime has turned 33 this week

and I asked her in a text message today,

"to use a six word sentence to describe your life"...

her 42 word reply was...

"Wants to be in time out"

"Ran out of energy last year"

"Prays for patience more than anything"

"Will take food over sex anyday"

"Be careful what you wish for"

"Athlete trapped in a fat body"

"Mother to Aiden, Mia and Seth"

What would your answer be,

Camping in Pismo Beach

I went this weekend with Jaime and her family to Pismo Beach campgrounds for their annual camp trip with Anthony's family. It's about 30 minutes down the coastal highway from my favorite campgrounds in Morrow Bay. This is a beautiful state park nestled in a grove of eucalyptus trees. And within walking distance of the ocean. The Pismo Beach Groves are where the monarch butterflys migrate to annually in November and stay till February. This habitat is believed to be the largest in the Western United States. It is a wonderful site to behold of huge pods of thousand of colorful butterflies gathered in "their" eucalyptus tree grove with hundreds more fluttering about in the sunlight.

I had a great time with her inlaws but had to come home Sunday. Jaime and family will be staying over there for 10 days, this year she took my camper so she could sleep more comfortably and have a potty handy for night time emergencies, lol. The kids are roughing it in the tents.
