29th Anniversary

San Francisco Wkend

We were able to go to the City 2 wkends ago and we had a great time. The best little hotel ever..Harbor Court Hotel it is acrosss the street from the Ferry Building. We spent the night there had a great dinner at the Mexican place next door. On Saturday we went over to the Ferry Building for breakfast and i guess we just look like nice people because one of the street performers just started talking to us and gave us his card instead of playing and earning some money. He was some musican, Kevin thought it was great.
Then off to see the crafts and then we walked to the theatre and got tickets for Wicked, this was the third time that i have tried to take Kevin. Well it worked....it was great and then off to Fenton's in Berkley for the best ice-cream and home to Logan. It was a good time.
Grandma Nancy stayed with Logan. Shanna and Kenna went home on Tuesday and so this was a
nice get-away. April 2009

Kenna's Blessing

It was fun to watch Logan and his good friend Nick care for Kenna. They really enjoyed helping dress, feed and play with Kenna. Quite surprising to see these young "stud-muffins" so gentle and caring.

Nana got lots cuddle time with Kenna too. Kenna really enjoys it when Nana feeds and talks to her. We think they will have a great relationship - with lots of shopping and cuddle time.

What a great weekend in LA with Kenna, Shanna, Ryan and much of Ryan's family. Kenna was blessed in church on Sunday by her Dad and Kevin and Logan also participated in the blessing. We had lots of fun playing with Kenna and she was a very good girl. She has changed soooo much in the last 4or 5 weeks. We used to think of her as so small and delicate....now her nickname is "chunky monkey". The doctors are very pleased though and Kenna looks great - as you can see below....

DAD

What can I say we bought a play gym for Kenna and Dad had to try it out....He says that is was fun....But i guess we will have to see what Kenna says. Silly Papa.

Scarfs

I have been busy these last couple of months knitting scarfs..dont ask how it got started but I have made 10 and working on # 11.
Just something to keep me busy and not hard. I don't have to think very hard. It has been fun to do this and I have given them all away. So if you need a scarf just let me know. My mom taught me how to knit and i think she likes that i do a little. So is very good does sweaters and socks and everything. Thanks for your help mom.

Letterman Jacket

Letterman Jacket

Logan just his his Letterman jacket in to get more of his patches added. They just has the soccer banquet and they won league and then second in sections. It was a great season. He looks very handsome wearing it. I told him that i would like it if he wore it out. You know they never wear them after high school. He has two letters and soccer, track and academic patches. I am proud of him in all that he has done and hope that he will always remember high school with good memories.

Summer Fun

So we haven't blogged in a reallly long time.....

There's been some changes in the little town of Fairfield, from Logan turning sixteen and getting his liscense to Mom & Dad's 28th wedding anniversary. Logan has his summer job of Larry's produce, and is heading back to Utah for BYU soccer camp in a few weeks.

We're definitely enjoying summer, trying to go to the lake and spend time together as much as possible.

A New Year

It's too cold!! 2008 came faster than we expected! We are happy and healthy as we start the new year.

Logan is looking forward to track season, his driver's liscense, and hopefully a car.

Kevin and Cindy are enjoyng life and all of the adventures that come along.

Christmas Is Upon Us

We've had an eventful couple of weeks! The family is excited for christmas and snow as we finish of semester finals and go christmas shopping.

Logan finally got his long-awaited snowboard as an early christmas gift. I'm all set to go, with snow finally on the mountain at Tahoe, it's just a matter of time.... and a ride to Squaw. I just recently learned not to play with knives, and I had my "totin-chip" taken away after I somehow sliced through half of my finger while cutting down my snowboard binding toe strap. Go figure. It needed five stiches, kindly administered by my best friend's dad in my kitchen. I went to a school dance about 20 minutes later. It was an interesting evening. I also just got my driver's permit, so it's only a matter of months until i'm liscensed. We're all pretty stoked.

Mom & dad are doin' good, they just keep on truckin'. Cindy is working and shopping, dad is working and attempting to golf / play raquetball. He has just been released from his church calling in the stake presidency, and we are all happy for him. After 10 years and 3 months of service, he doesn't quite know what to do with the extra time!

Well, best wishes & merry christmas.

My dad.....lovies Cindy

The three girls....We have been busy at our house this last month. My dad passed away Oct. 13, 2007, he was sick with cancer and it has been a long summer. I love him and i will miss him but i know that he is in a better place. He was buried in Folsom CA where he grew up all the kids were here and it was fun to be together.

Logan is busy with school and soccer but the season has ended so life should get easier.

to my dad...love you always...Cindy

Go Mustangs!

Ah, the smell of fresh cut grass, sweat, melting-tire turf, and smelly shoes. Get used to it, 'cause it's soccer season!
The Rodriguez Mustangs are currently 5-0, with the junior varsity a disappointing 1-1-1. Two out of the 5 other teams we play don't have a junior varsity, so we are trying to set up lots of scrimmages with other teams. We've been around the wheel once, and start again with Benicia tomorrow in our brand-spankin' new staduim. They're our only competition for league champion, but we've got a good momentum going. They're Junior Varsity really isn't that good. We should be able to take 'em. Wish Logan luck!
Dad just got home from China, with a whole string of new experiences to share. Everything from duck's tongue to live prawns, oh my! He just missed the typhoon on the way there, and we're happy to have him home. Mom is busy working and visiting Grandpa Ray, but having a great time with it.

We're packing up the waterskis and waiting for snow!

Labor Day weekend was our annual Sea Ranch Trip with the Warners. We had a great time, just had a nice relaxing weekend. We stayed at the "Mermaid House." It was quite an adventure. Labor day was spent golfing, hanging out at the beach, hiking, and watching Logan eat seven tacos for dinner!

Summer Ends

Tomorrow, School begins for Logan he is a Sophomore. Where has the summer gone, we have been very busy. Life is good and lots of things going on..

The funniest thing, this weekend Matt and Ashley are visiting Ryan and Shanna in NY and they are having fun as always...Yes they have been to the Statue of Liberty, Harbor Cruise, the Yankees game and even a soccer game, Times Square, lunch at Shake Shack and a picnic in Central Park..what a great time for two couples to spend together..We love you both !!!!
