Fall Time...

This Fall has been filled with fun family time and a few proud accomplishments. Abigail is now diaper free and potty-trained! Jeremy is quickly learning his letters and sounds and has qualified for a preschool program called CUBs. Andrew is in 3rd Grade this year and excelling in his G.A.T.E.(Gifted And Talented Education) program.

In October Andrew turned 8 and Dad suprised him with trip to see the Anaheim Ducks play hockey (thanks to the boss for the free tickets). Now Andrew is all about watching Hockey. He even has asked to skip school just to watch a game. The answer to that by the way was NO!

Then we took a trip to Knotts to celebrate some more! While Andrew went on the roller coasters with Dad, Mom took the little fishies on all the fun rides like the merry-go-round.

Andrew's big present from Dad, Mom, Grandad, & Nanny was a basketball hoop. Andrew and Jeremy are getting a lot of practice and having a ton of fun playing with Dad every evening.

We also went to a pumpkin carving party and had a great evening. Andrew carved his first pumpkin and the little ones got messy having a good time.

Then we took an afternoon drive out to Yuciapa with Nanny & Grandad and enjoyed playing at the pumpkin patch.

This year for Halloween, Andrew requested to be a Zombie, Jeremy wore daddy's old helmet from the 70's and his dirt bike gear, and Abigail chose to be a ladybug.

Jeremy's costume was a hit! People couldnt get over the helmet. He wore it well.

Abigail was a trooper and lasted a lot longer than we thought. When her bucket got heavy, she wouldnt let anyone carry it for her.

This month Jeremy very proudly turned 4. It was no suprise that he asked for Monster Trucks and a Mack Transporter Truck. And thats just was he got! We now have enough Monster Trucks to host our own Monster Truck Jam. Jeremy's looking forward to starting T-ball in the spring and growing bigger so he can go on the roller coaster's with Andrew.

Its hard to believe that Thanksgiving is closing in, which means Christmas is not too far around the corner. Looking forward to sharing our holiday memories with you. Until then...

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

My Summer Shoes...

Andrew just started back at school and his first homework assignment was to write where his summer shoes took him. After reading his paper I remembered how much fun we have had but how tiring it was. Andrew was right when he said his summer shoes were worn out! If you went to Knotts, Soak City, Sea World, Universal Studios, San Diego Tide Pools, Toms Farm, the beach, the park, and the pool, your summer shoes would be worn out too!
