Spirit West Coast 2008

If you like music with a message and 3 days of concerts, then Spirit West Coast is the place for you. We spent last week at Laguna Seca just off the Monterey coast rocking out for 3 days. There were concerts for every age group, including Veggieland for the little kids. Most of our time was spent at the heavy rock stage with groups like Kutlass, Seventh Day Slumber, Hawk Nelson, Skillet and Thousand Foot Krutch. I was even tempted to venture into the mosh pit, but then common sense took hold and my crazy thought quickly passed. We will definitely make plans to go again next year. Mark your calendar, tickets go on sale in March 2009!

Before coming home we spent some time in Monterey, visiting the aquarium and eating at Bubba Gump's. Brittany, our neice, had never been to the aquarium and it gave me the chance to experiment with my camera settings. I was able to get a few pictures without flash on a fast enough speed that are actually recognizable.

Well, you can't always trust what you see on television. I'm sure you've seen COPS on television and see them haul people off to jail for fighting and physical assault / battery. Well, it doesn't really work that way. The attacked person has to actually press charges, even if there is visual evidence such as a torn shirt, bruising to the arm, etc. They can only haul in the agressor if it is a domestic dispute or when the parties involved live under the same roof. So, needless to say, some of us were very upset to find out that there was nothing the cop was going to do other than give a "stern" warning. Obviously the agressor has also watched COPS, because when the officer began to question her regarding the incident, she denied everything and then claimed to be a diabetic having a hypoglycemic episode. You would expect that since this happened at work the employer would be responsible to take some kind of action as well. Anyways, if you have a co-worker that b...

MORE BASEBALL

This is our life right now! We had our annual dinner/auction on April 22nd and overall made around 20K including $725 for the SF Giants quilt. The aerial photos are courtesy of DJ and our new camera. Now we are preparing for the school carnival on the 28th. The kids have each made a cake to enter in the annual decorating contest. I will post pictures soon. Morgan made a baseball diamond for her entry (surprised?) and Dalton made a school bus. I think they will win, but then again, I'm the mom right?

Award Winning Cakes

Here they are, the two first place cakes that the kids made for their school carnival. The first place cakes are all put in the silent auction. Guess who bought these cakes. Yep, Dad bought them back!
