265 Challenge-Day 3

This isn't the greatest picture but it reflects not only Haley's eternally messy face but her first shiner, courtesy of her little brother and his very accurate pitching arm. Haley was recently beamed in the eye by her big bro, resulting in the black eye you see here!

They pretend to hate each other by day but I caught them snuggling last night! How cute!

365 Challenge-Day 1

Okay so I am going to attempt this 365 challenge thing. As you all know, I am not the greatest at updating my blog so we will see how this goes! My first picture is one of my favorite pictures from our spring break trip to San Diego! We were at Seaport Village and Haley fell in love with this toy dog in one of the toy stores.

Wow I am bad at this!

Wow I am so bad at keeping up with my blog! So my last post was November......since then not much has happened. I finished my last class for my teaching credential and am going to take a year off before starting my student teaching. The kids are all doing well and growing up way to fast!! Right now, Jaeda is playing volleyball and soccer and is in chorus at school and girl scouts. Joshua is playing baseball and Haley just started tap and ballet. We have taken two trips to the snow, one to Mammoth in December and one in February to Big Bear. Jaeda and Joshua both learned to ski...Haley, on the other hand, is definitely not crazy about the cold weather! Overall life is good! God bless and hope all is well!

To start off our Thanksgiving break, the kids and I decided to take a trip up to Santa Cruz to visit my brother, sister-in-law, and their new baby Everest. We explored all the coast had to offer including shopping, playing at the Santa Cruz pier, and visiting the Monterrey Bay Aquarium! Jaeda was out dare devil, riding the two biggest rides on the pier! We ate our weight in fried food and enjoyed every minute of it! The aquarium was amazing, our favorite part being the otter exhibit. But the best part of the whole trip was spending time with family and some old friends (it was great to see you Holly and family!) The drive was tough, but overall it was a great trip!

Happy Halloween!!

We had a great Halloween! Our party was complete with a host of family and friends! We missed Nana, Papa, Uncle Steve, Aunt Beth and Everest but we had fun none the less. The cake you see above was made by yours truly and Crystal! I see a career in our future! Haley loved showing off her know verbal skills! HAPPY HOWEEN!
