Well summers as you know do end. *sigh* And is it me or do they seem to be getting shorter and shorter? This one especially! Perhaps it's because I had such a fantastic one. You know what they say... time flies when, yada yada yada...

Anyway, wanted to share some of my summer adventures with you all. Show you how this Cali girl spent it!

First of all for those who don't know me, I live in Oceanside, California and I have two awesome boys who are my everything. Jr is 13 now and Allan (Chico) is 8.

It was definitely a BEACH SUMMER this year. Sit down here next to me and check out some pics!

Here's us on our way down to Carlsbad State Beach. Jr is yappin about something LOL and Allan is cruisin his new cruiser, checkin the swells.

This one is Jr runnin from his older cousin Tommy. Great shot I thought.

Here's Chico paddlin' out. And here he is tryin to catch a wave for mom.

I absolutely LOVE this shot. Captured the motion of the water so clearly, didn't it?

This pic was taken last week when I took the boys and their buds down to Tyson Beach in O'side. Cool little spot we like to go to. There's a little mobile hot dog cart at the bottom of the stairs where you can get the best $1 hot dog in the world.

Ok, here are a few from our trips to Knott's Berry Farm this summer.

The boys on a rollercoaster. The boys standing in line all excited.

What? You wanna see some of me? Ok, ok, here's me goofin off with the camera this summer and here's one of... Hey how'd this one get in the Summer album! Cool pic though isn't it? Here's me at Knotts... sheesh do I look excited or what? LOL Well, I am a kid at heart.

You may have seen this one in my last blog but it was such a special part of my summer I have to throw it up there again. It's Hansgirl and me!!!

And last but not least.... Look what arrived the last week of summer from a very special and talented guy you all know. Steve Anderson sent this to me as a thank you for assisting him with something a while back. Artist proof! How cool is that?

So that pretty much wraps up my summer album. Well there's tons more but I don't wanna bore you all. LOL

Been missing you all...

Lotsa love,
