Dylan Square Dancing???




December 2009

Dylan's PE for a week was Square Dancing. Luckily he was paired up with his friend Gabbi. The video is a crack up which hopefully I can learn to paste on this blog someday.

Christmas Eve



December 24, 2009

Tradition for at least the last 11 years has been to celebrate with our good friends from Tracy, The Lindt Family. I absolutely adore this family and consider their kids like our own. Their family has grown over the last few years with Brian and Julie marrying and now they have two kids of their own ( and I might add they are sooooooo adorable)! I'm not sure exactly what my most favorite part of Christmas Eve was this year, either the abundance of warmth that fills the house with kids and dogs or riding the ATV in the pitch dark fields after a few lemon drops! Either way you look at it, we are blessed share the holidays with you all. We always have so much fun when we hang out.

Christmas with the cousins





December 2009

We love going to see our family on the holidays. We went over to our cousin's house in San Jose the week before Christmas. The kids love playing the gaming system with their older cousins as well as enjoying the company of the littler ones! It just amazes me how quickly they all grow up and where their lives are taking them. We really missed seeing cousin Patti, but we hope when she returns from Puerto Rico in January we will be able to spend some quality time with her too. It was so nice to see everyone and we look forward to hosting next year's Christmas gathering at our place. We love you and wish you all a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Dylan decides to clean up his act!


December 2009

So I get a call one night while I'm at the hospital Christmas party from Morgan a little upset that "Daddy has lost it!" Come to find out Dad is upset because Dylan got a hold of Morgan's razor and decided to "itch his scalp" with the razor! Needless to say he required an entire head shaving that night, courtesy of dad. He walked around the next week looking like an unfortunate patient of mine! Dylan says "I know I blew it, I'm convinced razors aren't for me!" Now I envision this overly grown hair on his face in the future.... JUST GREAT!

Home Sweet Home for Thanksgiving



November 2009

As our Hawaiian vacation ended the day before Thanksgiving we wanted to share a little of the island with our family on "Turkey Day". We brought home lei's for my mom and Rob's mom so we could have a 3 generation picture. Morgan and I greeted the ladies at the door to give a Hawaiian welcome as they came in the door. It was sad to leave a beautiful place but very nice to be home for the holidays with loved ones!
