Mow out Air Polution 2010

San Diego's Air Pollution Control Board has a program where you can trade in your old gasoline powered mower for a discount ($300!!!) on a new cordless, electric mower. Removing one gasoline powered mower reduces the same amount of air pollution as driving your car 20,000 less each year!! So Lo and I take our old mower, it was a hand me down from a very good friend (thanks Steph), down to the parking lot where this was held, and we were VERY late! In fact they had already run out of new mowers, so we packed the 1963 Murray Mower back in the trunk.

Every other San Diegan waiting to exchange their mower...

But since this shingdig was held down by the water, Lo insisted that we take a quick peek at the pirate ship...

And the submarine.

Not my first choice for a Sat morning activity, but we will try again next year!!

Spring is here!

Hooray Spring has arrive in San Diego!! And I just felt that Lo and I should head to the park to practice our baseball skills. After a very short game of catch (or fetch as Logan learns to use his new baseball glove) we quickly moved on to rolling down the grassy hill, followed by a photo shoot.

And an awesome picture of Mom taken by Logan (I am thoroughly impressed by his picture taking skills!!

Tide Pools with Grandpa Tim

Logan and I were lucky enough to have Grandpa Tim come down to visit this Sat!! After the roof was perfected by Logan on the Lincoln log house they built, it was time to hit the tide pools!! We were all very excited and discussed all the animals we may see, starfish, sea anemones and crabs on the drive to the Cabrillo National Monument (best tide pools in SD in my opinion). Only to arrive to find out the I am not as good as I thought I was when it comes to reading tide charts. Yes the tide pools were covered up by the tide....


This did not stop us from having a great time exploring the rocks and the beach. Logan and I even got soaked watching the waves crash on the rocks. Here is Logan on the rocks...

And then we hiked up past some of the most beautiful coastline, this was our view from the top.

Our lovely day was topped with an enthusiastic game of red light, green light back to the car, followed by lunch at Island (a fav of Lo's and mine)

Thanks for making the trip Grandpa Tim!!!

TAG

Logan was recently invited to have cake at my work, Tactical Assault Gear, for a co-workers birthday. He had a great time, (how could he not there was ice cream cake and hot cocoa for breakfast?!) and so did all the TAG employees. He entertained everyone!! And since Lo loves soldiers and everything military (and by military I mean guns) the boys thought it would be a blast to give him his own holster and gun. Please see the photo below of a very scary four year old boy...

But don't worry the gun is rubber (but honestly it looks amazingly real)

Camping at South Carlsbad

I just love Southern California! Logan and I are always looking for a good time camping and we have been lucky enough to camp at the beach in November with great weather and again in March! We had a great spot and we were lucky enough to have the Orliczkys come and join us.

St Paddy's Day!

Top o' the mornin to ya! Or as Logan likes to say "taco in the morning to you"!

Lucky Logan

Logan and Avery after they found all the goodies at the "end of the rainbow" that the Leprechaun left.






Two very cute and crazy kids chasing each other around the deck!

Ice Skating

Joy and Tatum decided to join Lo and I for a trip to the ice skating rink. Olympians we are not!! I think it will be a few more years before I attempt to brave the ice again. Be sure to check out my video below, it is a true show of just how fantastic Logan and I were during our couple skate routine...

Before we hit the ice...Be sure to check out Tatum's blog for her thoughts on our trip.

Showing off his moves! I asked Lo what he thought of our trip to the rink, his response:

"whoa...whooooaaa...whoaaaaa...whoa...and then I fell down...it was really slippery"

Is there anything more I can say?
