New Dog

Yep- we got another dog. As you may know, Husker doesn't like other dogs so we knew it would be fairly challenging... So the solution was to get a muzzle and it is working pretty well. Now, we call her Hannibal because she looks like Hannibal Lector from Silence of the Lambs. She can't bite Rosie the new Boxer. Our friend Renee has many dogs. She got Rosie not too long ago and wanted to breed her with their dog Phoenix. Phoenix got ahold of her too soon. Rosie had 2 beautiful pups.

Rosie is such a lover. Husker isn't convinced. I know the muzzle may look harsh but trust me, Husker has a temper and is not tolerant of ANY other dogs. We do take it off of her overnight and during the day when they are seperated. We are happy to have a new addition to the family.

More Pics from San Diego and a Video of the Dophins that were with us

The views from our window at the new Hyatt on Mission Bay were amazing. The hotel is newly renovated and has a very resorty feel. The old California shaped pool was replaced with 3 seperate pools including 2 water slides. The location is amazing right on Mission bay. There was a small pod of dolphins t

hat were at play and even swam and were following us at the bough of the boat

Pierre decided it could be fun to rent a power but on Sunday and cruise around the ocean and Mission bay- what the heck, right? I never imagined how awesome it would be! The sun was shining and we had a blast! We all took turns driving!

Birthday Weekend Part III- Saturday February 9th for DinDin

Marrisa's 19th Birthday was Feb 7th so we celebrated both!

Sam wanted to go to a restaurant called Dick's last resort. I knew it would be an interesting place based on the name- It was LOUD and we had 2 toddlers but they didn't seem to mind after they got used to it, in fact- Jace fell right asleep with the live band playing and all

Sam's Birthday Weekend Part II- Saturday, Feb 9th He is Actually 17 now!

The day and entire weekend was just beautiful in San Diego, warm and sunny! We started with breakfast, then James, Sam and I went to the San Diego swapmeet (a must everytime we are in San Diego- if you've never been- go next time you are there!) We got some cool treasures- Sam got an awesome fishing pole- we got shirts, decor for the house, yummy fresh California fruit and some other trinkets. After that, Tamara, Pierre and Sebastian met us for lunch and we ate at Luigi's at Mission Beach- We had the hugest Pizza I have EVER seen- 30 inches in diameter. I could kick myself for not getting a picture of it. The 5 of us, barely at 1/2 of it! After that, we headed back to the beautifully remodeled Hyatt at Mission bay (formerly Islandia) where Norm, Florence, Marissa and Jace met up with us. We lounged poolside for a while before dinner

Check out Sebastian walking after lunch at mission beach! He's such a big boy now!

Sam's Birthday weekend Part I Friday, Feb 8th

The boys go fishing. Sam, James and Pierre set out for the twilight cruise abourd the Islandia Sport Fishing boat- It left at 6pm and was supposed to get back at 10 pm- there were only 12 on board and typically, they have been coming back to dock with 70+ catches- that night a total of 4! Needless to say the guys didn't catch anything and were pretty bummed, not to mention cold and tired. Take a look at these beauties- GIANT SQUID- those were the 4 catches of the night...
