Introducing...Cactus Bros Band!

They're a little bit country...and a little bit rock 'n roll. Brian & Mike presented a new sound recently at the House of Harley Labor Day Rally!


Brian & Mike harmonizing one of the many familiar songs.

Friend Eric came on stage to do a new rendition of an old tune..sounded quite good.

New member on the left, Sean, Matt, from MC band, and the boys. I really enjoyed listening to them. I think the crowd enjoyed it as well.. Good Luck, guys!

Shaelin on a Harley!

The other day, while Mike was over with Shaelin, Uncle Brian stopped over on his Harley. Of course Shaelin wanted to go for a ride.

Here he is giving the "thumbs up.

It looks like they were both looking out for traffic. They never left the drive-way but Shaelin loved pretending!

Hold on tight!

The make-believe ride was over and Shaelin had a blast!

Happy Birthday, Mike!

For the past 3 or 4 years, we have gone to Benihana's for Mike's birthday dinner. So this year we decided to keep the tradition going.

This was our "personal chef", Enrique, doing his thing to entertain us.

He is really getting into the chopping and dicing and slicing of all the wonderful and delicious food.

The salad was very tasty..in fact the entire meal was quite scrumptious!

After the meal, the waiter took our photo and I must say it turned out quite well. A fun time shared by all!

Fun at the Playground...

Taking Shaelin to the playground never gets tiring. He and grandpa were just "hanging" out at the different apparatus.

Look at the face of determination!

Now it was grandpa's turn to slide across!

I only wish I could bottle up all the energy little kids have. Even in high 80's temperatures!

Sneeking up on Shaelin and Granddaddy!

I spotted Bob & Shaelin down at the creek behind our house with a loaf of bread in their hands and having fun feeding all the fish. I thought these photos were awfully cute.


I like the stance on Shaelin in this picture.

Here they are breaking up tiny pieces of bread to throw in the water.

Before they knew it, they must have had hundreds of fish swarming and jumping up for their treat! Good quality time spent with each other...

Meeting a Brewer in person!

The other evening I had the privilege of meeting Corey Hart, who is a very young and talented ballplayer with the Milwaukee Brewers.


I was given a baseball bat, an autographed photo, and two tickets to a future Brewer game.

Here he is autographing my bat. Because my knowlege of Baseball is for naught, I gave all my winnings to Mike and Shaelin. But all in all, it was still a fun time.

Blame Sally Visits our Home Town!

A wonderful band from San Francisco graced us with their talents at Pride Fest this year.

Monica Pasqual's band, "Blame Sally," performed on The Miller Stage.

What a beautiful sound from this group of ladies,who just happen to be friends of Kim in San Francisco. So glad we got to hear them perform..
