California DFG license is modernizing

Here's a news piece from the Fresno Bee I thought some of you might find interesting.

"In the coming months, old licenses and stamps will be phased out and replaced by a computerized system that collects your personal data and method of payment before printing individualized licenses on nontear waterproof paper."

In the meantime, I hope to see a few more fishing pictures make it up here.  You can also send them to me in email so that I can add them to the fishing gallery, which will be updated soon.

A Wine Tasting Trip

Aunt Maria's Scrapbook Invite

I had so much fun at our last Scrapbooking party I'm doing it again. If you enjoy scrapbooking and spending time with a great bunch of people, then come join us Monday, September 6th.

I'll be up early so come whenever you want and stay till whenever. I will be providing lunch so let me know if you can make it.

Hope to see you all there.

More Photos

So here is another point of view of the August Birthday party, picture sent from my dad.

August B-Day Photos

I think there's going to be a splash.

Check out all these kids ready to break the piñata

Candy!!!


I borrowed these pics from Heather.  She posted like 50 to facebook so some of you may have seen these already.  I left my camera in Woodville so I haven't been able to post any of my own.  The turnout was very good and it looks like these little guys had a great time.

THE LAKE

The EQUIPMENT

THE PRACTICE

THE MARINE LIFE

THE PAYOFF

Great Old Photo

I saw Aunt Liz posted this on facebook, and just had to steal it and post it here as well. 

We went to the National Forest too!

The National Park was a great way to spend the day and get out of the valley.  School starts for Pax on Thursday so this was his last trip before he starts kindergarten.  We tried to snap some photos of the bear we saw but she was in the middle of meadow and I couldn't get a good pic.

Random Question Time

The CEO of HP is forced to resign and is given over $20 million as a parting gift.  Shouldn't we all be so lucky.

The Perseid meteor shower is about to peak.  Now's a good time to make a wish

Things to see on your next roadtrip  In case you're planning one last trip this summer

With that in mind, if you could quit your job with a nice severance package, make one wish and go anywhere for a roadtrip, where would you go?  Keep in mind that this wouldn't be forever, just for a couple weeks.

the Crystal Caves @ Sequoia National Park

Greg, Quartnie, and I head out on a one day adventure.

August Birthday Party

All Meneseses are invited to the August Birthday Party! August 22 from 4-? at Connie and Darrel's pad. Bring your swimsuit and some food to share. The meat will be provided and cooked BBQ style. Mike is making a dessert. Hope to see everyone there. You can RSVP here or on facebook!

Some Cousin Pics

Susan hosted a cousins BBQ today in Bakersfield. We all had a good time.

The Dudes

Reese and Sofia found the fountain, sorry Elias you may have some clean-up to do.

Greg and John pictured together for the first time, proving they are not the same person.

You show up for a BBQ, chances are you will have to cook. 

Dodger Game

I sent out a text to some of you, but want to make sure EVERYONE knows, Nazarene Night at Dodger stadium is August 20th. It's Dodgers vs Reds, so a great opportunity to watch Ron's team lose. Anyone interested in going, please contact Alli. Tickets are $14 and the money is due THIS Sunday! The more of us who can go, the more fun it should be. Hope to hear from a lot of you! (BTW, you don't have to be Nazarene to join in the fun, any of you Baptists, Methodists, Non-denominationalists....whatever!)

Bears in a Beamer!!

Okay, I should have tried to find a photoshopped version with Samuel L. Jackson in it, but this picture is real.  It would not be funny if this was your car, but this I had to laugh when I saw this story and thought of our crazy blog.  Here's the story
