October

Just some playtime. Alexis loves playing with RJ...whatever he is doing she wants to do to....
Even jumping to dad just because RJ does it. One, two, three....


JUMP!!!! Having fun making spider cupcakes.Alexis enjoyed eating them as much as she did making them!!

A picture of the moon during the crazy fires that swept through here. No, the lens was not dirty and it doesn't snow here in sunny California, that is all the ash that was falling for a week. There was a layer of ash on anything outside. It smelt like you were standing next to a roaring campfire all week. If you were outside too long your clothes and hair smelt too. You couldn't see the sky. It was eerie. We kept the kids inside most of the week. The smell and ash were so thick and the air quality so bad.

A trip to the pumpkin patch.

Alexis found a stack of pumpkins just her size. She was in heaven. She tried to pick up every one of them.

It has been a tradition to come to this pumpkin patch every year. Kassy was swimming away at practice. Tinkerbell, a ninja, a witch and Hannah Montana (she didn't want to wear the wig that nite)

A Halloween day at Disneyland. It pays to be the youngest!!!!

Alexis loves "playing" the piano.

Just some of the Happenings at Our House

Celebrating RJ's 4th B-day. See what happens when you have big sisters. They make you wear birthday princess crowns.

RJ trying out his new scooter. That boy lives on that thing.

Alexis enjoying her first cupcake at RJ's b-day party.

RJ wanted a "jacket" like dad to wear to church on Sunday. Isn't he handsome.

Kassy's 10th b-day party. My friend Kristie (she's a hair stylist) came and did Kassy's and her friend's hair in an up-do.

Ready to hit the town....

We went to El Torito for dinner. Good thing we were there before the Friday dinner rush. Things were a little loud and crazy. They girls were having a blast.

And then we hit the mall at South Coast Plaza to do a little shopping.

And then back to our house for cake and presents. Look how grown up she is getting. Tell her to STOP!!!!

Brittnie diving in at the first swim meet of the season. She did great! She got a 1st, 2nd and 2 3rd place finishes. Way to go Big B!!!

Kassy (2nd from the bottom). Look at the form!! Gymnastics sure helped with something. Kassy had a great first swim meet. She took first in all five of her races. I think the butterfly stroke is going to be her event. Even though that is her least favorite stroke it is her best.

Can You Believe It? New Pictures!!!

Happy Easter!!

(We are glad to have our little RJ back home safe and sound from his vacation in Idaho. Life is not the same - a little too quiet-when he is not around.)

Aren't we cute?

Alexis loves to pose for the camera lately. "Say cheese!"

A warm spring day required some sprinkler time at Grandma's.

Alexis enjoying her 1st birthday cake. She had a little help with the pink frosting (thanks Auntie Shaunee - her cake only had blue frosting)
