Fishing and the duck pond


Isaias says "Look dad! There so funny!"



Micaias loves thinking he's one of the big boys!



"Can I take him?"





Just like dad!

California Poppies

Welcome to a beautiful season in southern California!


This area is considered to be desert. Which you can see quite well in the summertime when everything turns to multi shades of brown but in March-April its a fiery color orange!



Its amazing to see an entire hill turn orange just because of flowers!



This was at the beginning of the poppy season a little later the entire area was a sea of orange!




Sharing or a little bit of brotherly competition?



Uncle Zach and Isaias. Isaias dropped his arms, he was being a copy cat to uncle zach!

"Dad can we see a snake like this!" P.S. It's a rattle snake! So my answer was NO!




Two special plants- The california Poppy and a Joshua tree in bloom.




Instead of the rattle snake we saw a lizard much to mommys relief!

Reversed gravity

Out in Filmore California there is a hill that has reversed gravity! See for your self!

still not convinced....


Ok so its not reversed gravity its only an optical illusion. But it is really cool! Rob took me up the hill and it looked like we had crested it and were on the way down but when he put it into neutral we started to go backwards! Its a little trippy! So if your ever in Filmore try it out!

Snow in the desert!?!?






Rob said that it had snowed in Palmdale before but I didn't believe that it could happen...until the other night at about 1:00 in the morning! It didn't last long well ok long enough to throw a couple of snow balls and take some pictures!

Jam Session


The boys love having a jam session with Uncle Marty and Heather. The drums, the guitars, the microphone, ok so you get it! They had a blast! Of course you see Rob and I get hooked too. :0) After the boys went to bed we stayed up till I think 2 am playing with them!
