Charger vs. Colts Nov. 2008

So here are the kids at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Pretty Cool. There were about 68,000 people there with us. Wow!
This is Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison warming up. Yes, really.

This is Joseph Addai. I don't know these guys but the boys do. They're into the fantasy football and all that.


The guy walking toward us is Joey Costillo. Hunter's fav team is the Chargers. Koty's fav team is the Colts so it was fun to be there for that game. We had good seats too, thanks to Tim.



BEACH - Pacific Ocean

Look at that water that goes on and on forever. Don't you love to look out at the ocean?
It was a little chilly that morning but the kids had to get in and feel the sand in their toes and jump in the waves.

Splash! Too bad we didn't bring our surf boards. Oh right, we have snowboards.


Disneyland/California Adventure 2008

Brooke loved the parade and the princesses. She was right out in the road to watch. As the ugly stepsisters were fighting, one was pushed and landed right in front of Brooke. She leaned down and said, "Get Back!" in character, of course. Brooke looked at us like she wondered if that was OK. We all laughed so she did too. Later she told us, "The princess say, Get Back!"
Goofy is always a favorite. The big boys were off riding Tower of Terror and they all loved California Screamin'. My fav is Soarin' Over California. Never again will I ride Space Mountain. But if we ever get lost in Disneyland, I'll be at Indiana Jones.

Brooke loves Toy Story. We just had to get her this Jessie doll.


Thanksgiving 2008

Here we are in AZ for Thanksgiving. Older kids . . .
Younger kids . . .

Adults. Kar and Grandma S made a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanks and love you so much!


Halloween 2008

Yes, we like Halloween. Tim is an Elementary School Principal. Do you think he can NOT be something? I have to be something every year because of my sister-in-law, Carol. Oh, the pressure. This year I was Tiger Lily. Made my own costume thank you very much. Made Tim's too. :)

This is my sweet 8 year old boy. Totally his idea.


And here is Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. Aren't they cute?

Hi everyone!
I'm a blogger. I decided I better join the blogging community. It seems like a great way to share thoughts and photos and such. So here goes . . . In fact maybe I'll do my Christmas letter this way. We'll see.
