New Christmas Jammies


Every year we have a little Christmas celebration with Uncle Matt and Auntie Heather. This year they gave the kids new pajamas...which are absolutely adorable. Here are the kids showing off their new Christmas jammies...

Getting Ready for Christmas....

The kids were so excited when we put up our tree (on Thanksgiving weekend!). We were all full of smiles while we picked out only the non-breakable ornaments to hang on the tree. Our house was instantly turned into a festive holiday home with all the decorations we did this day. Here is a little video of us in front of our christmas tree.

Fun at our new favorite park in Rocklin, CA

Although it was chilly this Sunday morning in November (Thanksgiving weekend) we all had a great time playing at the park! We even got lucky and snapped some beautiful photos of the kids for our Christmas card....it is always a challenge to get all three kids smiling at the camera while sitting still.

Happy Halloween

Tonight was a great night for trick or treating! The kids were walking on clouds as every house they went up to gave them candy....imagine their delight....a candy dream come true for our little ones.

Happy (surprise) 70th Birthday Party Robert

October 26, 2007.... Papa Robert turned 70 years young! We flew up to Bellingham, Washington to surprise him for this very special day....A lot of friends and family joined in on the celebration and we all had a blast. A huge thanks to Mary for throwing such an amazing party in a futon shop...yep, your read it right...a futon shop....sounds crazy but it was absolutely perfect.....watch the video and you'll see how happy everyone was....look for all the smiles!

McKenna is NOT joking around with her baby doll

McKenna is hysterical when she is playing with her baby. She feeds her, rocks her, and burps her. Then she proceeds upstairs to put the baby 'night-night' in her bed with blankets and a teddy bear. Once back downstairs again she pretends the baby is crying and will not go to sleep....watch the video and you'll see Kenna yelling at her doll to go to sleep ('night!!'). Both Ross and I laugh each time we watch this video and each time we watch her play so strictly with her precious little baby-doll.

Cooking with Grammy

Camryn and McKenna had such a great time cooking with Grammy Chris! What fun to see the kids and Chris having a great time together. Later that evening we all enjoyed Grammy's famous macaroni and cheese....with a little added touch from the girls....

Camryn's 6th Birthday Party

Today is September 29th, one day before Camryn turns 6 years old. We had an amazing birthday party for her today at American Power House Gymnastics in Roseville, California. She invited her closest friends from school and, of course, her sister and brother joined the fun, too. It was a fun filled two hours of jumping, running, skipping, laughing, hugging, smiling and celebrating! We all had a perfect time.... Hope you enjoy the little video I put together of our afternoon.

Grayson and his Nose



Sweet little Grayson has decided it is fun to put things in his nose!! Yikes!! He picked a beautiful purple flower asked me to smell it and then (quickly) proceeded to shoved it in his nose. I shouldn't have laughed or taken the time to take a picture but I just couldn't resist....hopefully, I did not reinforce his behavior (uh-oh!).

McKenna's Very First Gymnastics Class


Since McKenna learned how to jump, shortly after her 4th birthday, she practices ALL the time.....on the floor, her bed, the couch.....so, I thought we should try her in a gymnastics class. There is a small gym near our house which offers an evening class that is parent participation for kids 2.5-4 years old....perfect for Kenna. Last night was our first class and it was an amazing joy to see the excitement in her eyes and watch her do so well. She really did a great job keeping up with the other kids. The video clip is from the trampoline portion of the class....she was less than pleased with leaving the trampoline but quickly became enthralled with the gigantic obstacle course, swings, and foam pit! Way to go McKenna!!! We are so proud of you!!!

The Little Jumping Beans...Kenna & Gray

McKenna learned how to jump just shortly after her 4th birthday. She has been practicing ever since! Tonight she decided to jump as fast as she could. We were all laughing because she was having so much fun. McKenna may have some weaknesses in her body but, by golly, her legs are 'buffed'!! Little brother, Grayson, also loves jumping. The two of them together are such fun to watch because they feed off of each others energy. Way to go little ones!

Camryn Singing

Camryn is in love with the movie High School Musical...here she is singing her very best. I just think she is so adorable! Enjoy....

Grayson Talking

Grayson is two years old and starting to talk. On his own he blabs away but on this video I had to ask him to repeat some words just to get them on video. He is a complete bundle of joy and completely ALL-BOY. We love him to pieces!

McKenna also had a great week with her new preschool teacher Ms. Bonnie. The girls are difficult to wake up each morning but onece they are up they can't wait to get to school. I will write more later once I figure out better how this blog works....I am just starting this new blog tonight.
