Saturday night was our ward Temple night. We don't get to go very often, because it is usually on a Wednesday night. But this was in preparation for our Ward Conf. next weekend. It's always fun to go because our ward has a potluck/tailgate party afterwards in the parking lot. This was our view while eating our delicious brisket dinner! Not Bad!

Dress up w/ Daisy
Friday Night was Ladies Night! Now that "Miss Cleo" is in Middle School, we don't get to see her as much. Cali's soccer games were cancelled for Saturday, so we got to have a sleepover- Oh Yeah! So, the girls got all dolled up and got Daisy dolled up too!
So Cool.....
PFC Donald Joseph Conde III
Last Friday, I took Gav out of school and we headed down to the MCRD in San Diego for DJ's graduation from Boot Camp.
It was a beautiful (HOT!) day, and the ceremony was so cool! I'm so glad I decided to attend and that Gav got to see it too. It was so patriotic and emotional. I love this country and have such respect and gratitude for these young men.
Here is Platoon # 3205 of Indy Company-
PFC Conde...right up front!
Proud Mommy from the stands...
One more time around the parade...
He's all done! And here's a hug from Aunt Pam:
The "Proud Mom of a U.S. Marine":
It was such a great day! And the fam is so excited to have him home for 17 days. Then it's off to Camp Pendleton for a couple of months, before heading to Washington D.C..

Friday Night Lights Fall 2012
We are so ready for some FOOTBALL!!! Gavin enjoyed playing flag so much in the Spring, that we signed back up for Fall and Carter did too! They both play for the Huskies. Friday night was their first game against USC. They lost, but not by much. They played a great game and it is so much fun to watch.
Carter had a great first game. A lot of great runs AND an interception!
Gav had a great time and got to play Quarterback for a play...
Here he is getting his first flag:
Husky Huddle...
I really like his coach. He really tries to let each player learn all the positions and call plays in the huddle. Here's Gav getting his instruction-
I'm so glad he loves playing flag! And it's really cool that he gets to play with his cousin and we get to hang out with the Fam on Friday nights for the next few months!

Labor Day Mini Moon
So, Jeremy has been feeling a little left out since all of my adventures have been without him recently. Plus, we never got an Anniversary getaway in May. This weekend was Labor Day Weekend and it is the only weekend in the next 3-4 months (+) that we do not have some sort of soccer or football game to attend. We dropped off the kids at my parents on Saturday afternoon and headed down the coast to Old Town. We stopped in Cardiff on the way, and had dinner at Bull Taco at the San Elijo Campgrounds. The view and the food were both delicious!
Once we got to Old Town, we checked into the Courtyard Marriott. The girl at the desk was so awesome and hooked us up with a free upgrade to a suite. Jeremy had mentioned that it was our belated Anniversary celebration, so she hooked us up and had a cute cheese platter delivered to our suite. It was so cool! We just hung out and watched Gaffigan all night, before zonking out!

Sunday we woke up to a beautiful San Diego Day! We had an awesome Mexican breakfast in Old Town and then headed to Coronado for a day of bike riding. I loved it! We had so much fun and the weather was perfect!
Here we are with our bikes-

We followed the bike path around the village and golf course. Then we cut through some neighborhoods to look at the pretty houses and then headed down to the beach. We laid on the beach for a while and took a swim, before heading back down the path. Here's our cute bikes parked next to each other. Jeremy said they look married :-)-
We started to head down to the strand and decided to take our "own" path. That didn't work out so well. Jeremy took his bike into the dirt and got a whole bunch of thorns stuck in his tires and they both went flat (doh!). So, I got on my phone and found the closest bike shop. We had to walk our bikes up a few blocks, but we got the tires fixed! We finished off our day in Coronado, by riding back along the beach and naval base, to our car. We then headed to Danny's Pub for the "Best Hamburger in San Diego".
It wasn't exactly the best, but it was good. And the place was a really cool old school Navy bar. We were so tired from the riding, we passed out hard that night. But it was such a fun day!
Today was Labor Day and we slept in and checked out of our hotel. We headed down the street to an old school diner called Perry's for some yummy breakfast. Jeremy got a bacon waffle!!
After our breakfast, we headed down to the Embarcadero. There was so much happening today! We headed to the International Sand Sculpting Competition. Here are some of my favorites-
It was also the Festival of Sail today. We were too cheap to buy tix, but we got a pic w/ one of the tall ships in the background:
After our Sand adventure, we strolled along the waterfront and peeked at the USS Midway, before heading into Seaport Village.
It was so nice to hang out with my hubby! He's so much fun and I'm so glad we decided to run away together this weekend!
