The Burnett Family (aka Wyld Type)

Dodgers v. Pirates. LCYO baseball. Destined to be an all-time classic. Somebody let this cat on the microphone. He did a great job announcing the players at-bat, as well as a surprisingly rousing rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" for the 4th inning stretch. Love that my husband continues to surprise me. The boys graciously welcomed the crowd as their names were called in the lineup. And the fans went wild! :) Jack loves playing catcher! Little sisters club :) Team awards and congratulations Unfortunately, the Pirates fell behind in the 3rd inning and we couldn't come back to take the championship. The boys were amazing, proud and gentlemanly even in defeat. We really learned so much this year together and have loved each minute.

These clowns are going to the Championship Game!! (5/31) Go Pirates!! Arrrrgh!

I surprised the kids by taking them (with Gigi and Bevo) to Disneyland on Saturday of Memorial Weekend. It was crowded! But we made the most of it, and always love seeing the BFF Ciardellas.

We all attended Zachary's magician-themed 7th birthday party.. but arguably Clara had the most fun... with the household pets!!Yikes. We will soon own lotsa animals.

There's nothing to feel at the scene of the devastation but vulnerability and sadness...

There are several in our area, as I write, an estimated six fires. Two have been close to us, the Poinsettia Fire and the Twin Oaks/San Marcos Fire. We are immediately between the evacuation areas of the two fires. There are also a couple more east of us, and one north at Camp Pendleton. Again, we are on alert but have not been evacuated. The kids are spooked and school is cancelled tomorrow, but we are fine. Driving home from school/work (1pm) Across El Camino from our local grocery Smoke started choking the air and ash falling around 3pm Second nearby fire, San Marcos, began 4ish (this is from our back windows looking east) Looking back west toward Poinsettia Fire, now east side mostly contained (good for us) Hopefully not a Bad Moon Rising (8pm, over cresting San Marcos Fire) Love and prayers to those evacuated from homes. 

The crew took me to brunch at the LC Resort. Very nice. That and sleeping in and a long run and a bottle of wine with my husband.... Perfection. Thank you!!

Tessie requested a mermaid pool party for her 6th birthday. No problem! 10 classmates joined us. Tess shows off her extension  Sawyer's tricks Yeah, she's only a little impressed... Noa and Sawyer Pool noodle fight! The cake :) The fruit shark/whale Decorations :)
