The Lopez Life

Healdsburg

Today we walked to downtown Healdsburg.  It's so beautiful!!  The leaves are all falling off the trees and the weather was beautiful.  Here are a few pictures I took.  Click on photo to see close up.       

Red Ryder BB gun!!

Robert you'll shoot your eye out!!  That's what we said all day long. LOL!  My mom and dad got him his first BB gun.  Yes, he got the official "Red Ryder BB Gun!"  I think he was more excited about the gun than his Disneyland trip.  We told him he only could use it up at the cabin.  Well that didn't last very long.  He talked us into letting him shoot some cans outback.  He has quite the eye too.  Uncle Will has named him "Dead Eye."  :)  He hit the cans almost every time. We kept moving them farther and he kept hitting them.   Here are some pictures. Click on picture to see close up.      

Disneyland gift!

Today we celebrated Christmas with my family since we won't be here next week.  We told Robert that he is going to DIsnelyalnd.  We was so surprised!!  It brought tears to my eyes.  Here are a couple of pictures that were took when he opened the gift.   Click on picture for close up.    

Disneyland

We are leaving for California on Wednesday.  We are going to spend Christmas in Healdsburg with Dave's family.  We are going to take a drive along the coast one day to see Fort Ross.  It's an old Russian Fort from the 1800's.   We also are planning to spend a day visiting a couple of our favorite wineries.  On the way home we are taking Robert to Dinseyland.  It's a surprise and he doesn't know yet.  We are telling him tomorrow. We wrapped up the tickets and brochure and we can't wait to see his face when he opens the box.  I'll have my camera zoomed in on his face.  We will arrive back home on the 31st.  Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!     

Roasting marshmallows

Tonight we roasted marshmallows outback.  It was a nice night and not to cold so it was perfect.  We love doing this each year around Christmas time.  Here are a few pictures I took tonight.

Student of the Month!

Robert came home yesterday and told us he is "Student of the Month" for November!  We are so proud of him!!  He gets to have lunch with the Principal on Friday. They usually order out.  Great job Robert!!   Dad and I are very proud!! :)   

Retakes are back!

We got the school picture retakes back today.  I am so happy with how they turned out! :)  I think they are the best Robert has ever taken for school pictures.  The first set were so horrible.  They didn't even look like him.  The new set really shows Robert how he is all the time.  Smiling and laughing. :)
