Snow trip 23 December

This posting is some what out of order. Bruce and Robin took us up to the snow above Nevada City yesterday before I had the honor to go to Roxanne's grandmama's birthday party. I just had to post those pictures last night when I got home from there before I forgot everyone's names...I am terrible with names. So that is the explenation of that lets proceed with the pictures from our snow trip. At the top we have the leader of the trip Bruceski. Then there is Bruceski, his lovely wife Robiniskie, and there niece Michaela. Followed by Bruceski, Robiniskie and there very little boy Kinziesky. Then the really, really, real good looking guy is Koreyruskie with his dad Carlruskie.

Here is the gang, Carlruskie, Koreyruskie, Bruceski, and Kinziesky.
Next we have Kinziesky finding a snowcone.
He loves his new found snowcone.
Kinziesky cries because he doesn't want to share his snowcone with Koreyruskie. Kinziesky cries because he doesn't want to share his snowcone with Koreyruskie. Kinziesky thought about eating the snowcone as fast as he could but then thought about the brain freeze he would get. Still not totally happy with the idea he decides to share his snowcone with Koreyruskie and Michaela. Bruceski and Carlruski take a moment to take this picture.

Tonight I had the honor and priviledge to attend grandma Duarte's 88th birthday party. It did my heart good to see the love that the brothers and sisters have for their mother. I wish that there were more families like this one with strong family ties. They reminded me of my nieces and how important it is to maintain the integrity of the family. Now let me introduce you to some of the Duarte family. In the first picture is Roxanne and Grandmama Duarte. The second picture is the same just Roxanne is standing. The third picture has Roxanne's dad Dave behind his mom and then his sister Donna is there to the right. Fourth is grandmama, her son Don in the back ground and her daughter Donna.

First day of Christmas trip

Hello all I had to get permission from Kaiser to make some post's while I am here in California for Christmas. Well what a trip so far. We flew on Delta and I am not very happy with that airlines. I have to rank them up there with American Eagle. On our flight from Austin to Salt Lake Shelby sat at the front, I sat in the middle, and Roxanne sat in the very back of the plane. So we got to Salt lake and we needed to get seat assignments so we went to the gate that our plane was going to leave from and they said come back at 1000 because they were busy with the flight that was there now. So we find a place to sit down and I get a phone call. It was Christine and she is asking where I was and that she was there at the airport to pick us up and go get something to eat. Well with all the problems that we were having with seats and the airlines we were unable to go with them. So as you can see from the pictures from the right our visit was like being at the zoo...Please do not feed the animals...So this is how I met John and John Davis about 30 feet from each other through a cage door. Then another first, Christine turned side ways and we saw that she was pergnant and that was the first time that I have seen her pregnant. So there was a couple of firsts and I am sad that it was still long distance so to speak. So our highlight at Salt Lake was to see Christine, John, and John even if it was long distance.

Our flight from Salt Lake to Sacramento was better than the Austin to Salt Lake trip. We did get to sit together. Well Shelby was in the same row just accross the isle from me and Roxanne was next to me. There was some airman that sat next to Shel and it seemed that he took a interest in her telling her what he did in the Air Force and all. I guess I have to carry my gun with me from now on. So we land at Sacramento and Bruce and Kinzie were there to pick us up. The plan was to pick Korey up just south of Sac but that didn't happen. So we went straight to Auntie Linda's for the annual cookie baking with all the kids. That is always fun and sinful. All the sugar cookies, magic cookies, and fudge just gain 10 pounds just smelling all the goodness. But we were surprised by mama Joyce. She made the drive down to see us. We didn't get to spend a lot of time with her because she had to get home before dark because of the weather. It is always nice to see her. Well that is how our first day went I will try and post pictures every day we are here...that is if Kaiser is okay with it. Take care until next time.

Howdy all! Me and my boy are getting ready to clean up the back yard with daddy. As you can see we got our work boots on and are ready to cowboy-up. Well it is one of the best times of year and my family is getting ready to go visit their family in California. Daddy just got back from Gila Bend last night and the airlines has miss placed his bag, so he is some what upset about that and not sure what he is going to take to California with him. Mommy has already packed all of her stuff and daddy says she has packed to much! Well that is all for now hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

December...

It has been some time from the last posting. This is me and one of my sons, his name is Turbo and you have seen him before. My human family is getting ready to go back to California for Christmas we don't get to go have to stay here and protect the house. I get so jealous because they have so much fun when they go back there and see their family. Well just a quick note so you all know that we are still alive and having fun.

Fun at the park with pops...

Hwello all yesterday pops took me to the park and we met my sweetie-pie Destiny. We had a great time and Destiny's mommy had a new camera and took some great shots that I will show you. I hope that you enjoy the pictures...

Here me and pops are taking a break watching my son play with my woman Destiny.

Thats my little lady chasing our son. You see where he gets his looks.

Here is a close up of them. Daddy has to help Destiny because she is camera shy at time. Isn't she the prettiest?

Here daddie is giving us some instructions. As you can see I am the only one that pays attention so I will have to pass onto the others.
