Mason was teaching Julianne some skills on the leapster.

Jackson taking some self-portraits as the night wore on ...
You can see his eye's pleading with us to head out!

While Tom , Jack and Lucas went shooting with Craig and the cousins; Maddie, Mason and I headed out to shop in Sonora.  Here we are drinking some Sasparilla at a real soda fountain.

I'm so proud of my Uncle Jack and cousins Jodi and Michelle.  We had the chance to eat breakfast at their new restaurant in Sonora called The Homeplace.  The Sonora omelette was phenomenal.  We were served by my cousin Jodi and shared our meal with Uncle Jack and Aunt Tricia.
 The Homeplace stands 
in the home that Uncle Jack grew up in ... with some renovating and lots of elbow grease they have a beautiful place to serve the beef from the Gardella ranch.  I especially loved checking out the many old photographs they have hanging on the walls.  Lot's of history and lots of good food to eat.
