Santa time!

Had to chat with Santa before Christmas. Stopped by for some last minute plotting on Friday, the 23rd. Kaeden and Ella clearly see the benefits of this encounter, while Gavin is simply not so sure.

School!

School has begun. I can hardly believe that Kaeden is in 3rd grade and my Bells is in Pre-K this year. They are getting big too fast. Gavin still keeps us very busy so the schedule is tight. He's walking and trying to run everywhere!

Baby "B"

Life is good! I'm an auntie again. Baby Bentley was born on June 19th weighing in at 10lbs 1oz just like his mom, my sis, Ashley :)

Finally!!

Holy cow, we finally got a new computer!! I can actually upload photos and everything. It's nice to be able to do something so simple, like update my blog. It's only been 2 yrs! :) Anyway, since last time, we had another baby, Gavin. He was born on May 20th, 2010 and weighed in at 7lbs 4oz. He's our precious little guy that made the family complete. Much to Ella's dismay, she ended up with yet another brother. She's in love with him despite herself. Kaeden is the big man on campus these days, oldest sibling and a big 3rd grader! We just bought our first home in Arroyo Grande a few months ago. We are feeling extremely blessed.

Kauai

Kauai. Hmmm. I can't seem to get any photos to upload. The browse button doesn't show up at all. Any ideas?

Kaeden's sixth birthday party

Kaeden had a Star Wars birthday party for his sixth birthday. He had lots of friends and family at his party that made it so special. It was a beautiful afternoon and a fun party!

Riding Lessons

Kaeden has been taking riding lessons for a couple of months now and is learning to be more comfortable in the saddle. He rides at a stables near our house and he's learning on this pony, Cowboy. Cowboy bucked him off once, but he got right back on and tried again. He's learning to pick the feet, groom, and how to "kick and cluck." He got his first pair of riding boots last week. He is getting to be so grown up.
