Baseball Season

Riley has started his second season of baseball. This year he is on the Detroit Tigers.

Snow

Last month we all took a trip to the snow. It was fun, accept there was no snow. We found this one patch and the kids thought it was really cool.

Central Coast

My mom took the kids and I on a trip for my birthday to Morro Bay. I haven't been back since we moved away about six years ago. We happened to go on a wonderful weekend. I have never seen it so sunny or felt it so warm. We all had fun seeing the elephant seals, butterfly migration and the tide pools. The kids spent hours exploring the tide pools. They found lots of sea snails, crabs, sea stars and sea slugs.

Valentines Day Party

We had our third annual Valentines Day party. The kids had a great time painting flower pots, decorating cookies and playing games.

IT'S A BOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

r

We had an appointment with our new doctor today. I am almost 14 weeks along. I could not believe it when she said that she can already tell what we are having. A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeff and the kids were in the room with me during the ultrasound. Riley was so excited that he couldn't stop giggling. He has been saying from the start that he knows it is a boy. Baylee was a little sad but she is happy about getting her own room. So all is going well and I will try to post more often. Hopefully.

Christmas

Well it is now mid January so I thought that I should finally get some Christmas pictures up.

Riley

Sorry we haven't posted in a long time but things were kind of crazy for a while. In the middle of it all both kids and I came down with the stomach flu. It was a horrible four days. Now everyone is feeling better and Jeff somehow avoided it all together. Thank GOD!!!!!!

Emma Elisabeth

Here is our newest little cousin Emma Elizabeth. She was born on November 17. We went to San Diego for Thanksgiving and got to finally see her. Olivia is a wonderful big sister, and Auntie Kristin is doing good.

Rocky

Here are the newest pictures of our dog Rocky.

Halloween Night

The kids had lots of fun this year trick or treating around the neighborhood. Riley was Jack Sparrow and Baylee was Dorothy. They both got way to much candy and by the end of the night they were really exhausted.

Halloween Parade

Baylee had a great time with all her classmates in this years Halloween parade.

Carving Pumpkins

Fall Festival

This year for Baylee's school we hosted a booth for the first grade. Our booth was edible art called "Sandy Candy". The kids had a great time and we were able to raise a good amount of money.

Parent Ed

Riley and I went on a field trip to a local garden with our parent ed class.

Hi Again

Sorry it has been so long since I have last posted. We have all been really busy with school and sports. Here is a picture of Baylee's new hair style.

Soccer Season is Here

Soccer season is finally here. The kids have been waiting so long. They just finished a week long soccer camp and after a week more of practice they have started their games. Baylee's team is called the Pink Puppies.
This is Riley's first year playing and he is doing really good. His team name is the Red Rockets. He got in on almost every play during the first game. The boys were a little more crazy. Riley got thrown by one boy and tripped a couple of times, but he didn't seem to mind at all.

First Days Of School

The kids are back in school now and they are really loving it. Baylee is in first grade this year. She had a really hard time saying goodbye to me that first day but when I picked her up after her day she said that she loves first grade. Riley is in his second year of preschool. He has a new classroom this year and two new teachers. He says that he loves preschool and his new teachers. It has also been nice for mom to have a little break during the day. Riley only goes two days a week but it is enough time for now.

Fashion Show

Last week the kids were in a fashion show for Nordstoms. They love doing this each season. The one pic is of Riley going all the way down the runway and then he just kept on going. Everyone thought that it was pretty cute.
