Eppo and Marlon's birthday celebration

This one started a string of birthday celebrations to kick off the spring. This was our friend Eppo's bday and he lumped Marlon in too as his bday is also this Spring.
As usual Marlon was NO fun...
And so was Locke
Good times with good friends, oh and good food and drinks!
My sweetheart is always up for a party

The girls give Locke some attention

Mas Tequila, por favor!!!

Jawbone Canyon and Dove Springs

Just another day outing to put the bikes in the dirt. Here we are, Marlon, Dan and I, planning our day...
I just finished gliding over a specially sandy (and slippery!) section. It was so beautiful out!

About to peel out and off into the horizon!

Weekend in San Clemente

We got to spend the weekend at our friends' house in San Clemente. It felt like we were on vacation. They wake up to this view every day! Wow.

Marlon and... Locke?
How much had Locke had to drink?


The party went on after the sun went down
The next day we spent it on the beach. Here are some shots of the guys surfing (and walking with their boards looking cool)
Dan caught a lot of waves...

Bob White Kenpo Karate Invitational Tournament

I was lucky enough to be involved in my Karate school's Annual Children's tournament this year.

This is Alia and one of our future Black Belt chicks.

My personal one-on-one instructor, Mr. Jim McClure.
Starting off early with registration

Mr. Ed Parker, Jr. Ed Parker's son and I got to chat for a long time. Very interesting and fascinating man! (The late Ed Parker, is the founder of American Kenpo Karate, the art we practice)
After registration was over, I spent the rest of the day taking pictures and action shots of all the kids. This is our very own Mr. Bob White and the proud winners from our school.
Awesome Dani and I show some attitude
My previous instructor, Ted Sumner (on the left) from San Jose, was down supporting the tournament. I had not seen him in so many years! I got my Blue Belt from him, and he is a wonderful teacher and a wonderful person.
Awesome shot...
Little Kim kicks some serious kid ass.

2010 Honda Fury Press release

This is almost old news by now, but the bike Dan has been working on (with other Honda staff and engineers, of course) for the past 4-5 years had its Press Release Feb 24th and 25th.

It is such a pretty bike.
Dan revs it up
Yes, I rode it in my flip flops. No, I didn't.

Good job, babe. So proud of you, I hope it does really well when it comes up for early release and sale!

Valentine

A whole weekend with my Valentine? Love it.
We had a wonderful, delicious, perfect dinner at the Beachcomber on the beach and could hear the waves as we ate!
The evening was not complete till our favorite Valentines met us for a drink after dinner...

Amie's baby shower

This picture needs no introduction. Lizzie at her soon to be baby brother's shower.

She had the most fun opening all of Jacob's presents

Amie looked radiant and happy and cute as ever. Mom and I had so much fun on our trip. Congratulations to the Roddas!
