Oh yeah, dumps are still the important factor in Brady's life!
Once in awhile the kids in the neighborhood will bust our some really cute things, like a picnic!
Yes, we're alive! A cute pic taken in Petaluma while on a date! It was an awesome day to just hangout and be carefree!
Brady got himself a cool tool bag with his own tools! Hopefully we wont find the house torn down!
Another birthday, another blow! Happy Birthday Brady and Papa!
Seems that every year the kids get more and more into the whole decorating thing! Which is awesome! Brady tended to want to set them up at first, then Drew got in on the action!
Brady the "Elf!"
"What this one Daddy? What this one Mommy? Whats this one Daddy!?!"
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!
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!"
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!
Seems pretty crazy, but its life in California! This was a burrrr-fect opportunity for a cute shot!
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!
What the heck else does one need after these three awesome people?!
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!
Look at what our little girl produced for us! Drew has a little desk in her room which she loves; it has all the art tools she needs: pencils, paper, scissors, crayon etc! She can spend up to an hour in there busting out the coolest of things! Expect more in the near future!
This was our second time attending the Fall Charity Fall hosted by Laurie Lane. The Ball brings a few dollars into a couple of charities in town and its a fun excuse to dress up. The kids loved dressing up, especially Drew. Brady looked super cool in his tie with tennis shoes! Both kids we're complimented and had a great time! Melissa of course looked awesome as usual! I am the luckiest guy in the world.
Drew keeps getting closer and closer to putting it in, but seems gun shy at the very last second. But she's still my "Camisa 10," so it will come sooner than later! Maybe a party for her first goal!
Soccer Mom?!?! Humm, not really...see...she doesnt have a minivan, she's super hot and isn't a coach who hasn't the slightest clue about soccer! She's our Mommy!
Brady has been wanting to play keeper for a few weeks, and he got his chance! He had a couple of saves, let a couple by, but he can sure kick the ball! So maybe we have a football punter instead of a soccer play!
Team Rio - Elite 3's rippin' the first turn in Folsom's Cyclebration last weekend!
Drew is still on a 6 & Under co-ed team called the Red Devils, no it was not named after her! She seems to have made some progress with the concept of the game! Maybe it was the month long World Cup games, with the exception of one game...cala boca!
Brady has moved up to the 8 & Under Boys team, Scorpions! Just like Drew, Brady has also figured some things out! Derek has been helping the coach. Derek's biggest goal with the kids, to not play just the ball. So far, the team gets it and it showed in their first game! 2-2 tie but last year it took some 8 games to score just one goal!
