Shimmy Shake



Yes, we are all okay after the earthquake today.  It was actually pretty cool.  The floor and house was shaking as if a giant was outside pushing the house slowly.   Even the dog felt it (he was a little freaked out!).  But now we can add that to our list of cool California experiences. 


We went to a car show this weekend, and Darby picked out her first car that she wants.  Tanek and Adam get to see Adam's dream car too! 

Then we spent Sunday at the US open of surfing.  Pretty fun, and a lot to do.  The best part was watching the motor cross big air freestyle.  You know the one where they jump on their motor bikes and do all kinds of crazy tricks.  Tanek told me he wants to do that when he gets big. Great!  Every moms dream....

So it was a busy weekend, and now the house is a mess.  
More to come from our exciting life here!!!

Love and peace to all.

I was at work getting ready for lunch (yes I am ALWAYS thinking of food) when the quake it... The people in the office stopped what they were doing until the building stopped shaking and then proceeded to go about their business as if nothing really happened.

As for the Motocross big air competition, Tanek is not the only one who wants to do that when they grow up... I might have to change career paths. It is truly unbelievable to see these guys fly through the air. Other events we were able to watch at the US Open of Surfing was a skateboard bowl and street course competitions, a snowboarding competition (yes there was snow on the beach), and people watching. This is California after all and people watching with 150,000+ people on the beach is definitely an event.

Well that is all from me for now... we hope to see some friendly faces visiting out here soon!!!

The cars are great!!! I see Darby is keeping fashionably with it in her car choices!!! Is that a Porsche 550 Spyder (the blue one)?
