Squirrels Attack Again

In the summer the squirrels ate all my tomatoes and for Halloween they were eating my Monster Pumpkin. Here are some before and after picture.

Halloween 2009

For Halloween this year, I decided to buy a kit to help me carve pictures on our pumpkins. I have no artistic talent so this was very helpful for me and the pumpkins turned out really cute. We also enjoyed roasting the pumpkin seeds and eating them. At school I dressed up as a clown and David came to visit me. He wanted to see all the kids in their costumes.

Lake Tahoe

Over Labor Day, David and I went met his mom and Scott in Reno. We then headed to Lake Tahoe where we relaxed by the lake, ate yummy food and enjoyed each other's company. It is very peaceful and beautiful there.

Muir Woods

Joe and Bianca came to visit this summer. They always take me somewhere new. We were able to visit Muir Woods. It was very beautiful and calm. I could not believe how tall the trees were.

Boggle

David and I are Boggle fans, but we like to challenge ourselves. Our house rules only accept five letter words. We had to special order a larger boggle grid that is a 5x5. It is no longer available in the US so we ordered it used from the UK. It took about a month to get here, but we love to play.

AMD party

David and I attend a party sponsored by AMD on the USS Hornet the carrier that picked up Neil Armstrong when he came back from the moon. David was able to see all the latest computer gadgets and we both enjoyed the free food and touring the ship.

Serena's Wedding

On August 1 I was able to attend a beautiful wedding. One of the first grade teachers from my team married a fourth grade teacher. So cute! Their reception was on the top floor of the tallest building in San Fransisco. It had unforgettable views of the city. Truly breath taking.
