Our New Family....

I have finally found a moment to add to our blog.. here is our new and improved family.

Happy Halloween

Sorry, Kristina is not pictured. Hopefully we will get a shot of her tonight when she gets home from trick or treating with her friend.

Backyard Transformation

This past weekend was spent on the beginning of our backyard transformation. We decided to build a deck. So far, we have a foundation and platform. After the graudation party this weekend, we will attempt to put in railing and then finish the "dirt" portion of the backyard.

Graduation Day

Kristina graduated from 8th Grade yesterday. She will move onto Hillsdale High School in August. She has great memories at Abbott and will make many more in High School.

Our Family

Our families will be joined on August 15th 2008. We are looking forward to completing our family. Here we are at Lexie's graduation from pre-school.

2 Wheels!!!

After lots of trying Miss Megan has finally put her training wheels in the garbage. We took them off today and put her on the bike and away she went. What I thought would take all summer, took just one afternoon. Way to go Megan. Now we are headed for family bike rides!

Disneyland 2008. Megan and Lexie had a great time getting signatures from whoever came their way. We had great weather and the kids had a blast.

Happy Easter

Easter was alot of as it is every year. The Easter Bunny came, hid eggs and filled everyone's basket with goodies. Hope everyones Easter was nice and filled with family.

Favorites of 2007

One of my favorite memories in 2007 was the Hannah Montana concert. 4 Moms, 4 Daughters. One of the Mom's suprised everyone with a limo. The girls went out of their minds. This is my favorite picture from that evening. It kind of gives us a flash forward to their senior prom? Can't wait to compare the photos 11 years from now. It was a memory that Megan and I will share for a lifetime.

Go Abbott!

This weekend, Kristina had a cheerleading competition at the San Mateo Expo Center. It was like watching the cheer competition on ESPN. They took first place. She did a great job and competed both days and practiced on Friday night. It is quite a comittment. This picture is from a competition they had in Tracy a few months ago, but you can see her in her uniform. Happy Cheering !

A Trip to the Snow

We had a great time last weekend. We took a snow trip to Tahoe. The boys took a ski lesson and mastered the beginner run by Saturday. Megan and Lexie took ski lessons too and Ellie and I stayed with them on the bunny slope. They all got to ride a chair lift for the first time. It snowed on Saturday....snowing when we wake up is the best thing! We went sledding at a snowy driving range. We all had such a great time. The condo we rented was top notch (thanks Bernie and Matt).
