Pics

Trick or Treat

We had a very fun Halloween, very hectic with the school parades though.Dylan was a "ghostrider". Stone was Darth Vader, he wouldn't let me get a good pic of him in his parade.

We also got a new kitty her name is Clover, and she is a sweetheart, we love her.

Lake Chelan

We had alot of fun at Lake Chelan this year, we relaxed and layed in the sun the whole time.
Izzy & Maddy before dinner, Izzy picked this flower for her hair.
Dylan played with a praying mantis for about an hour before we went to dinner and put it in a safe place, when we got back someone had smashed it with rocks, he was very upset. it was sad.
This is Izzy's other cousin Madison.

Izzy's first note

I took Isabelle with me the other day to show a home that happened to be around the corner from her best cousin Maddy's house. I was standing out side the home talking to these people for about 15 minutes, Izzy got bored and sat in the car, after a while she got out and went on the side of the home( it was a fully fenced yard, so I knew she wasn't far.)I said goodbye to my clients & opened my drivers door and this little note was on my front seat written on a napkin. It is funny how she sounds things out! In case you can't make it out -mom I left to maddy house.

She was around the corner watching me crack up. SO CUTE!

Happy Birthday Maddy!

Maddy had her 5th b-day party at my house on Sunday , she had alot of fun we had a bounce house, and a pinata, and alot of kids, we alot of fun even though it rained pretty good!



Izzy and Maddix playing dress up, aren't they cute!

Memorial Day Weekend

My family went on our annual camping trip on Mayfield lake at the end of May, of course Dylan and Ryan found a big pit of "mud", they had a good time even after we informed them that this was not only "mud", there are geese around these parts.

Kelly had a flashback of her childhood and couldn't resist going in, she still claims Nicci and I owe her and Katie $1.00 for jumping in the"mud" down at the creek, I think we do. The weather was pretty nice and we a great time as always.

Road trip

My Dad, Isabelle, and I recently drove to Az to pick up Kari Ann's belongings. I talked my Dad into battling traffic in LA and stopping at Disneyland for a day,( i actually used Isa for this)so I knew he would cave, I have to admit driving on an LA freeway is very stressful and not much fun! We missed our exit once and tried to find our way back on the freeway, my dad was freaking out saying " I just don't want to end up in Watts" I was laughing so hard trying to navigate our way.But disneyland was very fun!Kari wants to be a photographer and was "practicing" the entire 1200 miles home we both actually got some very good pics on the way home, Kari claims she can take just as good pics with out stopping the car and while actually driving the car ,just as good as stopping to get a good photo! I laughed every time she would grab her camera, she said you can just edit the antenna and windshield out.

Happy Birthday Nicci!!

This picture was taken on our 15th birthday . 20 years ago almost to the day! I remember this day like it were yesterday, we were at Shakeys pizza,on our way out the door when my uncle took this.I think we look pretty much the same.
1996
Cryko's birthday,Nic & I were flown in to surprise her.what year was this?
Who said I wouldn't post an ugly pic of myself!!speaking of ugly, when we lived at Pearl ST, Cap & I went through a faze where we tried to take the worst pics of eachother at the worst times.(remember the bathroom?)I found some of those pics! don't worry Cappy I'll keep those to myself.
34 years old.I am so glad I still have you!Here's to the last 23 years with you as my BFF!Lova ya!

Family fun!

Well, we had another snow day, I think this is a record, we have had crazy weather this year.Dylan had a great idea to make an igloo and Kari wanted to get out of work, so we all went to work on making one, Dylan was the designer, he told us how to construct it. Kari, Iz, and I piled the snow high.Kari & Dyl did most of the work they were the last 2 out there, Dyl hollowed it out while Kari smoothed the top perfectly, she finished it off by painting the blocks with blue food coloring which took her quite awhile,(she wasn't ready to go back to work). The igloo came out pretty good, Iz & Dyl both could fit in(barely), although kari did put her top half in. Suni & Maddy made the gigantic snow man.

Clam digging!

On New Years Eve my dad took a bunch of us clam digging, it was Stone's first time, he was a little concerned with the first clam he reached in and grabbed but he ended up having a lot of fun as did the rest of us. we went last year too, so Dylan was an old pro and really helped out his dad ,he spent alot of his time "playing" with the clams.
Kari & Suni took the kids out in the ocean after they already got wet, and I didn't care because I packed the entire family nice, warm, and I will emphasize DRY clothes and towels.when we got the kids stripped down to nothing I looked for those dry clothes only to realize that my lovely husband forget the bag in our living room. let's just say the drive home wasn't that fun with all the kids just about naked fighting over the blankets.All in all we had a fun day though.

a little late

Here you go Nicci I finally recovered my password so I could post a new one. Here is Izzy & Dylan in their new pj's on Christmas Eve.
Here is Isabelle with her new vanity. It goes very well with all of her new make-up, she likes to put blue eye shadow on and lots of sparkles.




Dylan got a new go cart for Christmas, Shawn built a track at my dads, here he is after a wet ride, and Ryan too.

Here is Isabelle with a face full of make-up striking a pose, she gets all made up and has me take pics of her, it reminds me of Cappy at Pearl St!remember Cap?
