So much for my resolution to be better about posting! Here are some snippets from the last couple of months...
Pablo Sandoval (aka Kung Fu Panda) was rehabbing his broken hand at the Giant's Triple A team (Fresno), so when they came to town to play the Bees, we had to get our buns down there to see him play.
Caitlin & Brian loitered by Fresno's bench during pre-game hoping to get one of our Giants shirts signed. Panda came over a few feet from Catie, but then he started heading the opposite way. Suddenly he stopped and went back and....
Yep - she got the shirt signed!
Panda had a terrific game including a home run and some spectacular glove play at 3rd. He went back up to the Giants the next week and proceeded to have a 22 game hitting streak (shirt karma!).

We spent a lovely weekend up at Snowbird...
I think Caitlin did the bungee trampoline 20 times (thank heavens for the all-day-pass).
Austin was on a first name basis with the workers at the zip line and the alpine slide.
I guess the trick is to get the kids up to 11,800 feet and they'll pretend to like each other. Thin air - wahoo!!
Or course, the Sysco banquet turned out pretty well... Brian had to do a bit of public speaking (his own darn fault). It's nice to see all his hard work rewarded!
Note to self... don't tell Caitlin that "one day, I'll take you and your friends to Lagoon" because she will NEVER let you forget you uttered the words until you're inside the park. 
Another note to self... always try to go to Lagoon on weekdays because you can ride every ride over and over and over again...all day long!
Ahhh - Zeke...
So Tracy called us on the 24th of July and asked if Catie and I would want to go see Katy Perry - ummm, HECK YEAH! We had a delightful girls night out with Tracy, Tami, Ellie (above) and Mia (below) and Uncle Rod (who was a very good sport).
It was a great show - and the concert was awesome as well (the crowd was a hoot).
Yeah - I know. I don't have an iPhone where I can easily take photos of myself. It would have been handy when Catie & I headed for Deer Valley later in the week to hear the symphony featuring...
Idina Menzel! Yes... I know the photo is blurry, but it was the best I could do before the photo gestapo came to tell me "Maam... NO PICTURES" while of course ignoring all the people around me with their iPhones that were recording the entire concert. Gotta get me an iPhone!!!
She sang 3 songs from Wicked ("I'm Not That Girl," "For Good (acapella - heavenly)," and of course, "Defying Gravity") as well as a song from Rent. It was soooo good!

WOW! It looks like you guys are having a great summer! I wanna try that zip line! Great update, it was worth the wait. And congrats to Brian on all his awards! Not too shabby! And, of course, a big happy birthday to your beautiful eleven year old.
