September

Hunter and Chase have been making good use of their new bikes on and off the race track. Its such a good way to spend time together and get some great exercise. But to them, its the ultimate way to have fun.

On the 7th, we went down to San Diego to spend the day with Great Grandma Opfer for her 82nd birthday. And also cousin Chelsea for her 2nd. We had some good food on the beach and just enjoyed each others company.

The following week, we had Vicki and Tom over for her birthday dinner which ended in a hilarious whipped cream food fight. Happy birthday Nana!

Chase had a vasectomy on the 20th and needed to stay off of his feet for a few days. So the kids and I headed to the LA County Fair with my parents and Grandma Converse. Hunter chose to ride the big slide and bumper cars. We went to feed the animals and, of course, see the trains. Skyler loved all the lights and sounds and even though it was the most crowded we've ever seen it, we all had a great time.

We celebrated 2 more birthdays this month, Great Grandma MaryLou (Gigi) at Tokyo Wako in Long Beach. It was nice to be with the family and the kids loved freaking out over the fire show in front of them while the chef cooked the food.

And then we celebrated Great Grandpa Gene's birthday at Ted and Terri's house in Riverside. We had some great Mexican food and finally got to meet new little cousin, Madison.
