Pirate Ships at Ventura Harbor

The Tall Ships arrived in Ventura Harbor for everyone to see. We made a quick trip to see them between errands today. Apparently, one or both of these were in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Aaron was on the lookout for Captain Jack Sparrow. He's never seen the movies but apparently knows all about him from his friend Xander at school.

Early Morning Construction

Aaron got a treat when leaving for school this morning. Our neighbors had their (little) driveway ripped out and replaced. Jack-hammers and bulldozers had him mesmerized.

Dinner with Friends

After a long day of garage cleaning and re-organizing we had dinner with the Teer Family. The boys have a blast playing together while the adults enjoy wine and conversation.

Buzz Cut

Daddy tries his hand at an at-home haircut. Not too bad. Right?

Hayden's Birthday Party

Hayden (Zander's brother) turned 1 year old and the birthday party was a chance for the old playgroup friends to get together. The boys don't see each other as often as they use to so these opportunities are nice.

Rollin' with the punches...

According to Aaron, when ya have a bad day... there's nothing like a good dolphin photo to lift your spirits.

Happy Birthday Dad (Grandpa)!

Dad finally took the big leap into the world of the iPod and discovered the joys of iTunes, digital music, and Podcasts. My mom suspects the house is going to be a lot quieter now.
