Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Who doesn'e love some In & Out once in a while?!

This pic goes out to Stephanie! We love you very much, but don't hate because you're in some cold place where ice storms occur, and where you cant ride a bike because it's frozen too, and where there isn't an In & Out for you to spoil yourself once in a while! Yes, we still love you!

Soccer season comes to an end!

The 2010 Soccer season is now a part of history! Brady and Drew both had a good time out there. Brady's team, Scorpions, had some down games but they also had some great times! It was great to see the kids understanding the concept of forwards, defenders, passing and using the open spaces on the field rather than play "bunch ball!"

Drew's team, Red Devils, had great and exciting games. Drew enjoyed playing forward and making her best effort to score. She came close several times, by next year she will get the concept of taking the ball all the way to goal. we look forward to seeing the progression next year!

Thanks to all of those who came out and watched the games: Nana & Papa, Didi, Uncle Jim and Auntie Sis, Ryley & Sean. We know how hard it can be to take a morning to watch the kids!

Brady's Award Ceremy!

A weekly thing now, Awards Ceremonies This week it was Brady's First Grade Ceremony!

A Math award! Big surprise huh?! Brady earned 100% on both of his math end of units tests! He works really hard at math all day, everyday, its all about numbers!

Little man just chillin' with his friends during the ceremony.

Reading has also kicked into gear! Holy cow he can read! He loves for one of us to read to him at night, so that has been our nightly tradition around here for some time now. He has also been reading signs around town when in the car, books, magazines, newspapers and TV! Its awesome and we're all super proud of him!

Ice Cream in November?!

Seems pretty crazy, but its life in California! This was a burrrr-fect opportunity for a cute shot!

Drew's Kinder Awards Ceremony

First off, DREW IN KINDERGARTEN already!?! Now she's getting awards too?! Amazing how time just passes us like the wind! We're super proud of this girl, we thought she'd be trouble in class, but come to find out, we were wrong!

Not only did she get awards for knowing her "High Frequency Words," she also received a "Perfect Attendance Award!"

Some of Drew's High Frequency Words include: I, and, an, is, this, here, a, we, what, has etc!

Now here's the shocker of them all! "Great Behavior!" Not in a million years did I think this would happen, let alone in her first year of school! I just hope this lasts and we carry some momentum as times go!

Girlfriend did not miss one day of school, she went even when not feeling so good! She's a trooper and a hard worker and a great classmate! You go girl, don't miss a thing!

Three Reasons why I wake up!

What the heck else does one need after these three awesome people?!

PS. Sorry for the lack of updates, issues with getting the pics off the card reader!

Boys Night Out!

This past Saturday night Brady and I had the night to ourselves! We have Mongolian BBQ...did not eat the whole thing! Then watched "Megamind on 3D," which was suuuper cool! The best 3D effects I have seen! Brady kept trying to touch whatever was in the air! After the move we went to frozen yogurt! Great times!
