Lee's Zen... Surfing!

Lee has turned into quite a good surfer! He has dabbled in this hobby for the past 10 years or so... but decided to take it more seriously as of last year. He just loves it... and calls it his "Zen". It is a good way for him to reset. Why do his hobbies always have to be so complex? :)


Lee got a neat group of guys together and they took a trip in December to Rincon Beach, Puerto Rico for surf instruction and wave time. The group consisted of: Jeremy Ferris, Jason Watts, and Rob Ricketts... all chiropractic school buddies of Lee's... and then Nick DeLaGarza , a family friend... and Zack Johnson, a college buddy of Nicks whom Lee has gotten to know over the years. This was a great trip and many memories were made!


In March, Lee took a spontaneous trip back to Puerto Rico with his brother, Dan. They met up with the same surf instructors (who are now Lee's friends) and they got in more surfing time. They enjoyed their evenings hanging out with the locals. Lee made a video for me of the entire trip!

If I can dig up some pictures, I will post them. These were very active trips... not a lot of time for picture taking!

Monster Truck Birthday Party for the Boys!

On March 6, 2010 we had a "Monster Truck" family birthday party for Krue and Kiefer. It was a fun day with nice cool spring weather. Here is a quick glance at the party...



A lady who lives outside of Auburn made our cake. She made it to look like a monster truck course... dirt, rocks, tires... all edible! It had strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate cake inside! How cool is that?

We had toy monster trucks everywhere!

"Monster Subs" for dinner.

Everyone went to see Krue play in his last basketball game before coming to our party.
Kai cheered him on!


I love these two shots of the cousins checking out the comic books.

Having fun opening presents.

The boys got giant hover discs from Baba and Papa Joe and had fun winging them at their uncles :)

Taking a swing at the "Grave Digger" pinata.

Uncle Heath had fun standing at the top of the stairs pulling up on the string so the boys would miss :)

Finally broke it!


Uncle Nick and Almost Aunt Erin give the boys silly string every year. Everyone has fun with this! You can see here that Kiefer is having fun spraying Ella.
