Labor Day Weekend 2010

I am so lucky to have great in-laws.  This Labor Day weekend, Wyatt and I took a road trip to Yreka, CA  to visit Dad, Mickie, and the Bagley family.  We had an amazing weekend!

This is what was in front of me the entire trip up north.

We took a stop in Dunsmuir, about 45 minutes from Yreka.  Burger Barn was apparently the most happenin' place to be in Dunsmuir. :/

Quick stop at the junior college Wyatt attended.

Back road to Dad & Mickie's house.

Painted on the building behind the Catholic church.

This was an animal-filled trip to say the least.  #1: Itty bitty bobcat.

#2: Wild turkey on the front lawn.


There was also the unseen bear that left it's droppings on the lawn, as well as the coyotes at night!  EEK!

Children playing in the middle of the kitchen.  Yes, that big kid in the back too!

Burping contest.  Kaiya wins!

Wyatt's sister, Heather has three amazing little girls.

Rylee now has a brace face!

Mady and her baby blue eyes!

Love for Uncle Wyatt...

Mmmmm....

Jackson is a human.

Stopped by the train museum in Montague...

Good ol' Mrs. Montague



Wyatt does not look happy.

Bye, bye Montague Railroad Museum!

A LONG time ago, Yreka had a Chinatown and this was the Chinese cemetary...

This view never gets old.

Goin' for a ride...





Coffee break...


Before heading back to SoCal, we stopped by Wyatt's Grandma Formeller's grave and made her place a bit brighter with some frsh flowers.

I'm so lucky to have such a great relationship with Wyatt's family and cannot feel anymore at home than I do when I am with them.  It's as though they've always been a part of my family!

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

A Kinder Grad

Kindergarten can really take a toll on the parents.  (Yes, I meant to say parents.)  I knew we were in for a lot of activities and volunteering, but I did NOT know that it would become a second job to be an involved school parent.  I was told that by volunteering and being involved, it would give your kids (and their classmates) all the benefits.  At a private school (especially a Catholic private school), if there aren’t any volunteers, there aren’t many activities.  So ultimately, I knew I had to participate.  Could I have cut down on the activities I chaired or took part in?  Sure.  Why didn’t I?  [Insert long sigh here.]  Because in the end, I realized that I wasn’t sending my child to a private school because it was better than the public schools in the area.  (We actually have great public schools in our district.)  I was sending my child to a private Catholic school so she could learn about her faith.  The most imp...

9 years later...

This is the story of a dentist-in-waiting-nomad, Angela (a.k.a. my sister, "Ate"-[for those who don't speak Filipino, pronounced "a-teh"]) and a basketball playing of an engineer. Freshman year: boy sees girl and never speaks to her. Senior year: boy befriends girl's sister and gets his chance. A winter formal came along. Boy asked. Girl accepted. Boy meets girl's brothers (eek!), mom, and dad (EEK!). They danced. Girl moves to San Francisco, then San Jose. Boy moves to San Jose. Boy moves back to Valencia. Girl stays in San Jose. This summer, girl will move back to Valencia. Soon, boy and girl will finally be getting married! 9 years later! I have yet to express how excited I am that my sister and Louie are finally getting married. (Not that they needed to tie the knot to officially make Louie a part of our family.) For nine years, Louie has become another big brother to me and an Uncle "Looouuuwweeeee" to my nieces- always willing to d...
