a few from the weekend...

The Miner side of the family was together over the weekend. Tom & Candi's youngest son and Chad & Emma's daughter were baptized on Sunday. These are some of the photos I snapped at lunch.


I didn't take my camera on Saturday to the Walk for the Cure. Rob took my little point and shoot camera and I didn't feel like dragging the big camera with me. Brian did pretty good considering he was in the stroller from 8am to 10:30 am! I found out that he can reach behind him and get stuff out of the basket behind him.

just a couple more...

here are the rest of Biker Brian...








Biker Brian

We barbqued for Vera, Wayne, Kathy, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Brenden, Rob, Brian and I. A housefull, but we had a good time. Brenden went out to ride his bike and Brian stood at the window and door watching him. Kathy took B out to play as well and I was called to see what B was up to...this is what I found...


Then, Brenden and Kathy decided to let Brian try riding this motorized cop motorcycle. It had been Brenden's and we cleaned it up for Brian as part of his Christmas this past year. We've tried to get him to ride it before, but he'd only cry. Last night he had a blast! Here is the proof... (wish we would have grabbed the video camera! He laughed and squealed like crazy!)


wish I would have gotten a shot of his face here!!




Have a great week! This coming Saturday Brian and I are walking in the Race For the Cure with Elena, Candi and Emma. (I believe the kids are also going to be with them) while Tom, Chad and Eric are running in the race. I hope Brian stays in the stroller!

While we are doing this, Rob is headed to Orlando for a week-long Cisco Conference. He's also taking one of his certification tests so he's been busy trying to study the last few days.

Happy Father's Day!!

I had to take Brian with me to pick up cards for Father's Day. Well, he LOVES the ones that play music! In fact, he thinks that ALL cards play music! He found cards for Daddy and Papa. Well, the one for Papa needed a picture as well. So, after much work I managed to get this..

Hope you all have a great Father's Day!!

Back from Newport Beach, California

Back from a great trip to Newport Beach! Since Rob had to go to the Balboa Bay Yacht Club and Resort for business, I got to go on one of his frequent flier tickets. Brian stayed with Nana and Papa and had an equally great time. He even told Papa to go to the corner when Papa shot him with a squirt gun! (Don't know where he got that....we give him time out, but not in the corner!) We would have loved to have seen it! I've had a chance to get a few of the photos ready for the blog. Since Rob didn't have to really be there until Sunday night we decided to leave early and go Friday night. This gave us some time to do a little sight-seeing on Saturday and Sunday before he had to meet with hotel people on Monday and Tuesday. Rob wanted to go to the Queen Mary and the Russian Scorpion submarine so we did that on Saturday. Took the Pacific Coast Highway 1 up to Long Beach and we both ended up sunburned on our faces since we had the sunroof open! (It was great weather...alot cooler than what it was in St. Louis. Mid 70's was the high) Then Sunday I wanted to go to the Mission at San Juan Capistrano. We also enjoyed some dinners out and was able to go to a movie. Something we haven't done since our anniversary last May.
Here are a few of the photos I took... These were all taken at the Mission at San Juan Capistrano on Sunday.
