Happy 8th Birthday, Parker!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Parker just wanted to write a quick note about is birthday party and weekend with family at the beginning of the month.

He really appreciates the fun, games, and of course the presents!

At his party with friends on Friday night, we went to Ridemakerz at MOA. They all got to pick out and customize their own car or truck--stocked full with neon undermounts, chrome, specialty tires & rims, decals--the whole works. As a birthday bonus, Ridemakerz put together a metallic gold pick-up and gave each boy a permanent marker to sign the top of the truck and present to Parks as their thanks for spending his day with them. I'm sure he'll remember this trip for a long time to come!

Thanks again, from the birthday boy!

Relaxation in California

Wow! What a fun weekend!!! Joyce and Steve were able to soak in the rays (albeit only a few hours of them) along with CONSTANT ABOVE-FREEZING TEMPS in southern california the last weekend in February. All of this courtesy of the Orange County ARMA chapter, and their annual CRM prep course--where Steve was one of the facilitators. Most of these shots are from Joyce's day in Laguna Beack, walking along the beach and enjoying the shopping, art, and scenery. We put about 400 miles on the rental car, driving the coast highway and enjoying the view. Had a great mid-afternoon lunch on Saturday at a beachside restaurant and stared at the ocean. We also stumbled upon Torrey Pines golf course. Steve has now been to both Torrey Pines and Pebble Beach within the last year and hasn't shot a bogey yet!
