4th of July

Del Mar Fair

Whenever we have a little extra time we like to see our grand baby Lila.   We were down in San Diego for the 4th of July weekend. We took Kelsey and her boyfriend Jared with us.  We went to the Del Mar fair with every other person in San Diego county so it was nice to meet everyone standing in line to get in, get food, etc.  We met this couple standing in line for Pizza.

Lila appears to realize where bacon comes from as she seems to be saying "yum look at that big bacon" with her tongue licking her lips.

LA Galaxy Game

We had another great weekend with Ashley, Byron and Lila.  They came down so Byron and I could go to the LA Galaxy soccer game on Saturday.  The tickets were very difficult to get as I literally had to give blood to get them.  (They gave them out free when I donated at the red cross center here in Torrance). 
Lindsay flies in next week end and we are all going to Yosemite on vacation.  Kelsey will still be at school but comes home and has to start an internship right away so she won't be able to come since she doesn't have any free days so we flew her home for memorial weekend and were able to spend some fun time with her.  She has a great opportunity to intern with a top advertising agency this summer called Chiat/Day. 
My daughter Ashley said I needed to post something on my blog or she was going to drop me from her blog list, so Ashley "This blog's for you."  I hope I don't get sued by Budweiser for playing on their theme.  I think I know where Kelsey got the advertising gene. I should have gone into advertising with such a creative mind!  O I forgot on the beer theme I took a picture of Byron at his favorite Galaxy hang out spot. You can check it out below but don't circulate it at church settings.
Life is good, Cheryl and I are enjoying our family as they grow. Being a Grandparent exceeds all prior expectations.

Busted!  Did you think you could sneak this past the Bishop?

The pre-game show.  This clip shows a little of these guys but they were really amazing with a soccer ball.
