Steve and I went to San Diego this past week to watch the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) tournament at Torrey Pines. It was totally awesome and man can those girls play golf. We went to the tournament both Saturday and Sunday and walked the entire golf course both days and we were exhausted after. We enjoy just sitting on the balcony of our hotel on the 9th floor which overlooked the bay over to the naval base and Coronada Island and enjoying the sites. Saw a naval ship headed out to sea which was exactly like the one Steve was on when he was stationed in San Diego in the Navy. We enjoyed two yummy Mexican dinners at Old Town San Diego. We stayed three nights, and we were so NOT ready to come home. Was such a great mini-vacation. I think we are kinda semi-retired. Here are a few pictures:

Torrey Pines Golf Course - beautiful ocean course - oh, how we wanted to play it!

Steve standing on our hotel room balcony - nice hat, huh!

Naval Ship - brought back Navy memories in St. Diego for Steve.

Resting after the Golf Tourney.

Yummy Dinner at San Diego Old Town. Brought back fun memories of when we vacationed there with the kids about 20 years or so ago.

Calvin and Tommy came down to stay with us for the weekend. As usual, we had a blast. They wanted to go to the Dinasour Park again and we loved it last time so went again. It was just as great the 2nd time. They brought their Halloween costumes to show us. Tommy's 4th birthday is Tuesday, September 8th, so we had a little party for him. They also wanted to roast marshmellows again, I really think they just like playing in the fire, but who didn't when you were a kid. Here are a few pictures in no particular order, I'm doing good just to get them on here. We love all of our grandsons so much and wish they were closer -- they are all so special!

We went to Vegas this past weekend to visit the Howell family.

We had a great time and did a lot of fun things and wanted to share

some of the pictures we took. We went to the new Ice Age Dinasour

Movie cause Grandpa wanted to see it so bad. We all loved it. We also

went and check out the new M Hotel and Casino, went bowling and to the

Arcade at South Pointe. We had a contest with play dough to see

who could sculture the best things. Grandpa Donut was pretty good.

You crack me up!

Here are a couple of pictures from the last time we visited the Howell family. We love visiting our grandsons, Boston and Bracken in Vegas and are looking forward to visiting them the end of this month! Love you guys!

Weekend with Calvin and Tommy

Boy, I haven't been too good with keeping up on my blog, but had the Henderson boys with us for the weekend so thought I'd share a couple of pictures. We went to the movie "UP", to the dinasour park in Ogden, roasted marshmellows and told ghost stories in the backyard and watch a lot of cartoons. We had a blast! Love you guys!

Relaxing with a movie and popcorn after a long day at the Monster Jam show and the Gateway - we are pooped!!

Time for birthday cake and ice cream!

Wake up Tommy - you're missing the show!

Share that popcorn Grandpa!

Calvin's 7th Birthday at the Monster Jam Truck Show

We went to the Monster Jam Truck Show for Calvin's 7th Birthday. We had a blast. Little Tommy had a short cap nap during the show and was like new again when he woke up. It was so fun to be able to celebrate Calvin's birthday with him.

Well here it goes, I'm attempting to create a blog so that we can show off our four handsom and healthy grandsons that we are so blessed to have. We love spending time with them and wish they were closer; however, with Steve working for Delta, we can get to Vegas quickly to see the Howell family and Idaho is just a 2-hour drive away to visit the Henderson family.

We are so cool - just ask our Grandma Jan!
