I thought about splitting this one into two parts again, but what the heck? Let's just have a party with it!
~Fun with Kimmie and Dillan~
In August, Erica, Dane and Kristy went down to visit Kimmie Olson at this really cool water park! It was in a housing development down in Mission Viejo and boy was it awesome. Dane was a little hesitant at first, but after a while he was climbing all over this thing! I had a couple great pics of Kimmie and her little boy Dillan, but they were blurry. Kimmie, if you're reading this, would you send me some pics of that day?
Check out the bucket at the top of the playground. Every few minutes or so, that thing would dump out a bunch of water. It was so fantastic!
Kristy and Erica enjoying the day in the sun.
The little Dilly taking a nap:)
Dillan let Dane borrow his towel since he wasn't using it. Hee hee.
What a happy boy! Thanks, Kimmie!
~Kassady's Dedication & A.J.'s Birthday~
On August 23rd, Kassady Heublein was dedicated by Pastor Scott Daniels at Pasadena First Church of the Nazarene. It was a great service (of course) and Kassady was as precious as ever in her dedication outfit!
After the service, everyone headed over to the Nocita house to party and swim in the pool. It was so great because all of the kids were there. Since everyone was already there, we celebrated A.J.'s 21st birthday a little early (his birthday was on August 27th). Dad opened A.J.'s 21 year old bottle of wine and everyone had a taste. It was a yummy treat!

Even Kelly and Denise Brown came to celebrate with us!

Happy Birthday, A.J. and congrats, Kass! Yummy carrot cake made by Erica Nocita, of course.

BUH BYYYYYYYYYYE!
The toast!

~Colorado~
Well, I don't think we got enough of Colorado when we went in July, so we came back in September. It was such a wonderful trip. There was a lot of trout fishing (and catching!), good eating (thanks Erica and Mernie!), working at the pharmacy (loved being able to help mom), and relaxing! After choosing a bunch of photos to share, I still had way too many, so what you're seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. I think you'll be able to see that we had a good time. Mikey even drove up on Thursday and spent a couple days with us. It was wonderful.
Driving to Colorado!
Dane and Mernie needed a nap.
Just readin' a book about trains.

At lunch at Buffalo Inn, or as we lovingly call it, Buffalo Springfield.
Kimmy's first fish!
Um, I think Dane might be tired.
Look at those tasty fish!
Erica's showing Kim how to clean a trout. She almost hurled the first time, but by the end of the trip, she was a champ!
We thought this trout had some sort of disease...
...turns out it was just REALLY pregnant. Kate Gosselin's got NOTHIN' on this trout.
Dane's fish! For some reason he gave it a thumbs down. Ha!
Dane's getting ready to say goodbye to the girls as they headed to state line for Primm!
It's never easy saying goodbye:(
Father and son out for some trout fishin'.
Too cute.
Look at that snake!
On a stormy day in Pagosa Springs we visited this cute little fabric store called Edelweiss. My dream store:)
Dane's weighing himself at mom's pharmacy. It doesn't look good...
Scary teeth! A gift from gamma and gampa at the candy store in Pagosa.
There was a beautiful thunderstorm the last night we were there. Dad happened to get a photo!
The boys after a long day.
Blizzard is ready to get home. Say goodbye to Colorado!
:(
~Watering the Garden~
I just wanted to include a couple photos from a few days ago when Dane was helping me water our new plants on the porch. He loves planting, too!
Our cute little porch:)
"Hi Bizz!"
~This Morning with Dane~
When Dane woke up this morning, his hair was pretty crazy, so of course I had to share the photos. He was also wearing his cute new football pajamas...I can't take it! But that hair...it's just NUTS!
Mommy's touchdown cutie, indeed:)
Look at that quaff!
Chillin' with Bliz.
