September 23'

19!

6'0" 128 lbs. No, that's not a typo. He's tall and SKINNY.

Can't believe our little Ethan Bajethan turned 19 on September 11th! 

We celebrated at Grama Jean and Papa's on Wednesday, September 7th, and Grama Honey and Bubba's on the 13th. 

Jadyn and I brought him In n' Out for dinner at school on his actual birthday since he was in class until 9:30pm. So bummed I didn't get a picture!

Rice a Roni Meatballs, stuffed potatoes and salad

Camouflage/Lego themed table by Grama Jean and Papa

Ethan's favorite: Grama Jean's chocolate cake! 

He went outside his box! Mint chocolate chip ice cream

New airsoft equipment. I think that's Ethan...

Birthday balloon hat by Bubba

They still "play" on the swing set :)

          New hoodie!                                                    Jadyn can't believe it!

Let the Field Show Season Begin!

Jadyn performed in her first half time and prelim field shows this month. 

At least the Band and Color Guard are good, the Saugus football team stinks this year :)

Saugus vs. Valencia at COC. 0 - 48!

Pregame

Sounds of Conejo at Thousand Oaks High School

One of the most fun shows of the year! We get to see Jadyn and Olivia perform! 

Our new tradition is the "family carpool" and dinner from Green Acres Market.

Color Guard pre-show huddle

The crazy "Color Guard Run" around the bands

Poker Night!

It's been WAY too long since we got together with the Landes, Brunsmans and Tams! 

You can't really lose. Great people, food and laughing until your face hurts :)

Brenna, Victor, Torey, Erik, Jarod, Angela, Angee, Bart

We lasted to the end, 2:45am!

Texas

I got to take a quick 4 day/3 night trip to Weatherford to visit grama, dad and Kathy. 

Grama didn't know I was coming :) 

I got to spend hours chatting, taking walks and ate LOTS of barbeque!

               Surprise!                                           Looks more like a mug shot!

Such an amazing visit :)

Beautiful sunrises, sunsets and wildlife on my walks

Dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse

I'm not one to take food pictures but I couldn't help it :)

Great steak, greens beans, mushrooms and rolls!

Brisket, green beans and fresh bread at Woody Creek Bar-B-Q

I also had "smothered grilled chicken" at R & K Cafe. All so yummy!

The list of rental/loaner cars keeps getting longer...

My car went straight from the repair shop to the Hyundai dealer. Still trying to figure out the clicking noise. I missed a picture of the Toyota Camry I had for a few days.

My latest loaner from Hyundai, Venue

The MDX (Ethan's car) went in for an axel and ended up needing more repairs so the days and cost more than doubled! At least Erik got to drive a new MDX for a few days.
