Visits, polo, baseball & tennis!


We used the RBC tent at Polo and brought along Hope, Nic and some friends.  Sunday Funday Polo is always a good time!!



The men

The ladies

Eric took about 80 kids on a hiking field trip.

Jon, Melissa, Roman & Chole Schaefer came and visited us for a few days.  Melissa and I took the kiddos to the Living Desert.  Luke got to high 5 and sloth and the boys took turns doting over Roman and Chole. 




We went in the Lorakeet exhibit and the boys loved the birds...until they started peeing on them.



Baseball season is in full swing.  Eric is assistant coach of the freshman team.  

Dinner at Sammy G's.  I don't think we have been there for dinner since we had our rehersal dinner there almost 17 years ago!

The sixth graders got to go on a field trip to the tennis gardens in Indian Wells to watch the BNP Paribas Open.  Grandma Karen got to be a chaperone!

We enjoyed a lovely 10 day visit from Grandma.


Tash, Tammy, Sanya and I made a trip out to Apple Valley last Sunday for a celebration of life for our friend's dad who passed away.  We got there a bit early and had a quick chevela before the service to toast Tim.  The bloody mary the bartender was working on was epic.



Eric, Tony, Steve, Ethan & Ty went big boy riding.

I got to enjoy a suite at the BNP for a day.

My view lots of days lately.

Cabo and the Carpe Diem 2018



Feb 1st we went to Cabo, this time we took Ty.
He hooked up his first marlin, mahi and a 175lb thresher shark. 


It was a great day on the new Carpe Diem with Kerri, Niko & Roman.


Baja Cantina made the Mahi 4 ways: sushi, piccata, blackened and with veggies.  The shark was deep fried and smoked.  Kerri and I cooked both kinds again last week (we brought home 43lbs of shark and albs of mahi) and it was great!  Pan fried shark and sautéed Mahi with a lemon, basil butter sauce.

We love the marina.


Leaving the marina at 7:30am.


The Carpe Diem is legit. 64 feet, amazing living room, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Fully catered and stocked with drinks.  No Bad Days. 


Ty's on!




My big boys.



Super Bendo.

It took 2 deckhands and the captain to land the shark after 65 minutes.


Marlin!



Me, Niko and Pancho.


Our catch!

I got this photo while in Cabo.  My littles and my daddy. Love it!!
They spoiled these two rotten to make up for not going to Cabo.  They did a perfect job but I will still be taking them to Universal Studios for a special day to make up for it. 

Eric and I went on a walk Saturday early looking for coffee.  He found beer.  
The Carpe Diem at the dock.  

 Ick.


Ty, Roman, Adam & Kerri went jet skiing.

Watching the shows at the Mango Deck.  Some R rated.....

He humors me with photos, love him.

Another year down at the Marina Fiesta.  Cabo-Me Gusta!!!
