Babysitting Lila

We went down to Ashleys to babysit Lila so her and Byron could go out for her birthday as part of a gift to Ashley. Watching your grandchild as a birthday gift is kind of like giving your wife a new big screen TV with a Cable sports package for Christmas. We had a great time and we will be down again next week for Halloween. I find that seeing her helps me to understand what things are of real importance. Love of God, love of our neighbor and family relationships. That is where true happiness is found. These were some of the fun memories of our weekend. It is amazing how such little things such as laughing and playing with a balloon can bring us such joys. Hopefully I can remember that is truly the little things of life spending time doing the right things that brings true and lasting happiness.

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.
