October at Our House

Sleeping in Full Costume

 

Saying hi to an old pal at California Adventure Park

 



 My favorite scene in The Little Mermaid, brought to life in the ride.

 

Kali snapped a photo of me at work before I was swallowed

 up by the laundry and never seen again.

 

Should I be worried about this? 

Kali dressed herself and asked for a photo. 

Where did she get these moves from??

Softball Night

Softball night at our house is a big deal.  Every day the kids ask if it is softball night (Tuesdays), not because they can't wait to watch Aaron play, but because they get to run around like maniacs with their cousins.  I never bring a camera, but I had one last week. 

 

Another Camping Trip

Same camp spot, same Carlsbad beach.  My dad reserved a few days in October for his birthday and we went down to visit/crash his vacation.

One Night in Vegas

Drove to Vegas with my dad, saw Peter Gabriel, got back in the car and drove home all in one night.

Thanks dad! 

 

If You Have Ever Slept With a Baby/Small Child...

 

then you know it isn't all snuggles and cuddles.  There is someone out there who understands the "roundhouse kick to the face".

 

Called to Serve

My little tiny brother Dirk is going on a mission!

He was called to serve in the Lyon, France Mission and reports to the

MTC on December 19th. 

He's really excited, we're really excited.  It's just exciting.

 

 

A week after he received his call, he went through the Los Angeles Temple.

It was a day that we'll never forget and I am thankful to have been there.

Love you Dirky!

Griff's First Day of School

Little Griff and I started Mommy & Me classes last week.

It's just one morning a week for 10 weeks, but it makes him feel like a big boy.

 



Kali's First Day of School

2nd year of preschool.  She is a very serious student.

Griffin, on the other hand, is a goofball.
