Here are some scrapbook pages I have made of my school class for the past year. I'm giving them to them next week at our class awards ceremony. We'll be looking at them on our projector. I sure have fun teaching!

Andrew turns 3 months old!

I took these pictures a few days ago and I love them! It is so neat to think that I will have this piece of my precious little one captured forever for me to remember.... They change so much, so fast and with me having to go back to work full time, I feel time will only speed up.

October Day at Disneyland

2007-11-03T18:15:00.000-07:00

We just returned from a 7 day trip to San Diego. We were excited to go and had bought our airplane tickets months ago with our frequent flyer miles. To our dismay, a few days before our arrival, practically the entire county of San Diego caught on fire! When we arrived, almost every attraction in the area was closed. We were lucky the airport was still functioning and that our hotel had still held our reservation despite the 500,000 people that were evacuated from their homes in the area. I-5 was closed in both directions from our hotel for hours at a time a few times.

Our second day there, we decided to make a break for it to Disneyland, hoping that it would be far enough north to get Kimmy and her asthma away from the smoke. Even in Disneyland it was still raining a little ash. Kimmy had to wear her face mask for much of the day but was a good sport. That night, apparently tired of the looks and comments she'd noticed all day, she stood up for herself. We were waiting for the parade to begin when she overheard a little girl a few feet away point Kimmy out to her Grandpa and report, "She's sick." Kimmy was offended and demanded to me, "I'm NOT sick! That little girl just said I'm sick, and I'm not! I'm going to go tell her!" At that she marched over to the little girl and with hands on her hips declared, "Hey girl! I'm NOT sick! I have asthma!"

Despite the fires, we had fun on our trip. Here is the scapbook page I made of our day in Disneyland. Kim's favorite ride was the tea cups. Mason's favorite part was getting to pick out a toy to buy on the way out. (To our chagrine, that was almost ALL he wanted to do!) Several times during the day he asked to go home because we had told him he could pick something out from a gift shop on the way out. He picked a dinosaur...I didn't even know Disneyland had anything to do with dinos. Leave it to my dino obsessed 5 year old to find one!

Back to School!

Family time with Dave's side of the family.

2007-09-02T21:21:00.000-07:00

We wanted to get together every other week this summer, like we did last summer, but were all too busy. We found time to get together a few times, however, and had a lot of fun watching all of the little cousins trek around up at Silver Lake. The highlight was seeing a gigantic moose, which scared the living daylights out of all of us!

4th of July

We always love the 4th of July. We have our own little family tradition of going to Layton Park in the morning for the parade. Then,we hang out all day at the park, or in this case, we went to a movie. Then, back to Layton Park for the fireworks. We love that they have an orchestra play in the ampitheater at the park before the fireworks. It's fun to listen to while we eat treats and relax as a family.
