Happy Birthday to Mr. Drake...

We hope your having a great day, we love you and miss you! - Easty Boy and Casey

It's coming together..

We moved out here 2 years ago for Drake to help with a stadium that he didn't even know 100% at the time was going to get built. Well, I would say that after a lot of work, it's coming together and the stadium is well on it's way!

Here is Drake with his team on the 50 yard line!

Can't wait for opening day! :) 2014 can't come soon enough!

 Go Niners...and still.. Go Cowboys, opening night is today, football has officially begun!

Camping....

For the three day weekend, we took off and headed to meet some of the Drake clan and some other family friends. We camped out for the weekend. However, I do think I have to call this fancy camping, we were in motor homes, not tents. I am sure most of you already guessed that, because Casey in a tent is never going to happen. Especially when the first day we are there, a bunch kids come running up with a snake they found! AHHHH.. I have a F.E.A.R. of Snakes.

I would actually say that I went to "Summer Camp" again, only this time I could drink beer all day instead of Capri Suns. :) There were organized events for all ages all day, cook outs, and a barn dance at night! It was a lot of fun, and as always I have tons of pictures, so enough rambling from me and on to the good stuff..

Our campers playing..

Sweet Riley!

Love watching these two run around together..

Total California boy, riding his farm toys in sandals! I need to get him some boots!

My sweet boy! :)

Drake with the other boys helping them fish!

Clear the roads people, I am coming through!

Horse shoes! Nice form Jen!

That looks a little high!

Family!

Jenny and Her sweet family, note her 8 month is going to town on the beer ! :)

Easton hanging with his cousins! Boys only up top on the bunk!

Easton assisting Riley with her birthday cake! She turned 2 while we were there!

Easton playing bache ball, or more like getting in our way!

Love my family!

Our campers need a rest! :)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!! We sure did!

2 is the number...

Some of you will be as surpirised as I was to realize that today marks 2 years of living in the bay area. How did those two years fly by as fast as they did. I felt like when we moved here, that 2 years was going to feel like forever. That same forever feeling you get as a Kid around christmas time, when you think Christmas day is never going to get here, and Santa will never come. Well, I will admit I was wrong, I think the time has passed in a blink of an eye.

At first, I had in my head that we were going to be here for 2 years, but now that 2 years is here, I am so glad it is for a bit longer, there is still more to do here and I am loving it! Still miss my friends and family, but if that is my biggest issue, I am good to go, planes are a wonderful invention! :)

I love reading back to my big move day  two years ago. Now I can fully laugh at our moving troubles, fleas, both cars breaking down, finding out we are going to have a baby all while looking at new houses that we might have to move in to.. it was a fun time now that it is 2 years later! :)

All in All, we are loving life out here and at this point we have spent the same amount of time in Dallas as we have in San Jose as a married couple. 2 years there, 2 years here, Drake did 3 seasons at the Cowboys and this is his 3rd season with the Niners... So not sure what we call home anymore, but we are happy! :)

Many thanks and love to those who have supported us in our move out here and kept me postive on the hard days!

knocking things off the bucket list...

Well I guess a bucket list is normally about things you want to knock off your list before you die, but I have created a list of things I must do while living in the bay area. You never know how long we will be in the bay area, so with that said, we got to business this weekend on our list! :)

There is a speak easy in the city, that I first saw on the Bachelor back when Ben was the Bachelor. I thought it looked fun, and I had never been to a speak easy. So I have been wanting to go try it. So this was the weekend, we went up to the city on Friday night to meet some friends that were in from Dallas. It was fun, and something different. I will say that I don't feel the need to go back, but at least I can say I tried it! ;)

This is just from their website, but the fun part about this place is that you are given a password when you make your reservation! Ours was "pinch". This is what I had to tell the lady when I knocked on the door!

So checked this off our list.

Then Saturday, Drake went to a golf  course that actually might be on his real bucket list, not just is bay area bucket list. The Cypress Point Country Club in Monetary is one of the top 3 courses in the world. You have to get invited to play with a member if you want to play, or I guess you could become a member, but well that isn't going to happen on our budge! So thank goodness he was invited by a client! He had a great time and said he had never seen something more beautiful.. do boys really say that! :)

Drake and Dustin at the golf course!


 

So with these things off our list, next up I have Golden Gate Park, Baker Beach and the San Francisco Zoo. Hopefully these things will be accomplished soon!

After thinking about a bucket list, I think I should make one for things I want to do before I turn 30... stayed tuned I need some time to think of this one.. I am thinking 30 things before 30! :)

Who is Who??

Well Today everyone is getting a little Quiz in honor of School starting! I figure we all need to get our brains working every once in a while! :)

So here you go:

Correct Answer: A is Michael
                            B is Easton

Hope everyone passed! :) Kidding.. but in all cuteness how cute is it that Easton is wearing the exact same outfit as his Daddy when he was a baby, and they look pretty much the same! I tried to get the same shot, but well you know how that goes with a 15 month old!

Easton is growing like crazy and everyday getting more and more of a personality and a vocab. Currently, every animal "moo's", last week they all "Quack Quacked" so who knows what all the animals will do next week. He loves books now, and we read lots at night, but I am starting to have enough of the llama llama books! Which is so sad, I loved them for a while, but after the 10th time of reading it a night, I am OVER IT! :)

As I watch Easton grow he looks more and more like Drake if you as me... see for yourself! :)

Yea they definalty have the same little looks! :)
