The ice cream bars from Costco are simply delicious. This picture doesn’t really convey that, and if you haven’t had one, you’ll just have to trust me.

On Saturday, Jessalyn, me, my girlfriend Christie and her 2 boys went on a letterboxing adventure. One of the best things about letterboxing is finding places close to home you didn’t know were there. Our “treasure hunt” as the kids like to call it, took us to a small railroad exhibit close to home. The kids got to climb all over a real train engine.

Once again, this is a big thing, not a little one. However I want to pay my respect to some very special veterans in my life that are no longer with me.

10 – My Grandfather

11- My Father (on the right)

And to a few veterans I personally know and are still with us:

Thank you to my father-In-law for his service in Vietnam and to my sister-in-law and her husband for their service as well.

Thank you to the many many service members past and present for your bravery and dedication to keeping us safe and free.

This one is all about Fall. There are signs of it all around now

Of course this picture was taken at our favorite place to spend a day, Disneyland.

This next picture was taken in the parking lot of the high school while I was waiting for my oldest to get to the car. This is looking across the street.

Friday night we went to a local pizza joint for a friend’s son’s baseball fundraiser dinner. It was Jason’s last day of work until he finds something new. He needed this.

The ladies at Jason’s formar place of employment sent this home for us

#7 Sunday we took the little one to Disneyland. She wanted her picture taken here:

Number 3 doesn’t count as a little thing so much because it’s a big thing. So very big. My grandma came into town on the 3rd and I had the pleasure of being the first one to greet her when she came off of the airplane. She’s an amazing woman and has inspired me all of my life. She’s 92 years young and this is her.

I’ve entered contests on blogs before but have never won. Yet I keep trying. However, our friends at Finding Mickey hosted a thank you giveaway on their blog last month and I won! You can click the blog link to see just what I won, but here’s the box I opened yesterday when it arrived.

Thanks again Rosemary and Neil! You guys are awesome!

We met them through our Disney twitter project Overheard at Disneyland. If you haven’t seen the site, check it out. It’s a lot of fun!
