Polar Express

The kids school had movie night and you guessed it, it was Polar Express. We have seen this movie a thousand times but it was so much fun seeing it through the projector. Everyone had pj's on and drank hot chocolate. Well, the floor drank most of the hot chocolate. Then for the big finale Santa came and we got to take pictures. So here is our Christmas card.

Thankgiving 2008

NEW HOUSE!!

Here is our new house. Our offer just got accepted. We can hopefully move in first week of December. Yeah! before Christmas. This house is right down the street from my dad's. Be prepared for lots of bonding time dad cause I have a list. The kids will be transfered cause its to far to take them to Gilbert everyday. And I'll have to quit being a lunch lady til next year. Sorry Kalem, no more sloppy joes. Kaelei's room

For my dad!

I love this kitchen

It's kinda dark,sorry

Freestone Park

We decided to go to Freestone Park and do the Halloween party. It was fun. The kids got to ride unlimited for 5$ and wear their costumes. Except Enrique couldn't see through his wolf costume. Didn't get any pictures on Halloween cuz we were to busy looking for a new house. That was the first day of looking. The kids did get to trick or treat.

Pumpkin Patch Time

Its pumpkin patch time. Enrique is so excited. We thought we were going to the big one that cost 100$ a person to get in but decided last minute that was too much money. So we opted for a really BIG pumpkin. And the price per person was just to go through the corn maze and get lost. Why would I want to pay 1,000$ to get lost?? We did tell the kids the pumpkin wagons were rides and they had a good time with that. So more update after we carve the pumpkins. Betcha can't wait. Notice the shorts. It got back up to 100. Frickin hot!!

" CLONE WARS"

As soon as Clone Wars came out the boys had to see it. Rich got them all shirts and they all had light sabers. They had the best time. Ate lots of popcorn, soda and candy. The dad's enjoyed it to. Thanx to a teacher at Kalem's school the boys are holding real light sabers in the theater. Cool pic, Kalem.
I am offically the lunch lady now. Its more work than I thought. And those little rascals are hearded in and out of there quickly. Can't run of pudding or I will never hear the end of it.

Mother's Day at Aunt Granny's

For Mother's Day we all decided to spend it with Grandma. My kids haven't been there before except when Enrique was a baby. They had so much fun. It was so nice to just let them play outside and not worry if someone is going to take them. Going in the tree house was new. It took Enrique awhile to get down, but after he did I couldn't keep him out. I shouldn't say anything. It took me and Becky a long time to get the nerve up to cross the cow pasture to go to the creek. We were afraid of the BULL. And then we couldn't even figure out what the BULL was. The first thing Kaelei wanted to do is have a picnic. Becky and her family came for the day. That was alot of fun. It was so relaxing. The boys found the infamous Lego's of Aunt Granny's. And managed to put them back in the right boxes. We didn't see them for hours. Mom made this amazing chicken that Kalem barbecued. Becky bought Trappers pie for dessert. Grandma and Grandpa seem happy there. There is alot of watering for grandpa to do. That is his favorite job. Lyn's new walk in shower spa bathroom is amazing. And Lyn set up her master for grandma and grandpa. It is very cozy and so grandma. She did a good job decorating. Thanks Lyn!!

Aunt Lyn's Bread Intern

Here is my first attempt BYMYSELF to get Lyn's bread and cinnamon rolls down. They actually came out really good. Jacque and I tried at her house 2x and we just couldn't get it. I came home determined to get it right. Ok my mom helped a little. Everytime in the past we would have to call Lyn to figure out how to do it. We actually got into fights about how to do it. Don't ask. I ran out of brown sugar so my mom told me her grandma used to make her own brown sugar with molassess, butter and sugar. They came out darker but with a richer taste. So I guess a little help from grandma's mom too.

Dad's Birthday

Its my dad's birthday on May 2. Just a shout out. Love ya dad.

Enrique turns 8

Happy Birthday Enrique! We didn't have a big party but we did alot. First Enrique had his good friend over, Trevor to spend the night, the night before his birthday. As you can see they got a hold of the camera. On his birthday we made his favorite breakfast, waffles from the waffle maker we just got. We then headed to the bowling alley. Our new favoritist place. Then we went home and had birthday cake Rich made for the first time. Since Enrique only had one friend for the day we just decided to take the friend everywhere so we all went to the dog park. I guess that would be fun for the dog. It was a really cool dog park though. It has a pond just for the pups. We ended the night with ice cream cones from McDonalds. Oh the dog and heelies were Enriques presents. Ok so I am so confused at where to put my text.

We have the coolest bowling alley. Even Rich likes it. So I don't remember why, oh yeah, this was from Spring Break. I was trying to do something fun everyday. Almost made it to. Another day we went mini golfing. Another day we went to the batting cages and then to the park rides. I actually got a "this was the funnest Spring Break ever". I was so happy to hear that.

Lost contacts!
I'm sorry for not emailing my updates. I lost all my contacts when I changed computers and email address. I will be setting up my old computer and getting my contacts then.

We are moved!!

So I know everyone knows by now we moved to Arizona. We've been really busy with the move, getting kids transitioned into school and new job. Rich is still at Nordstrom in Scottsdale. He felt right at home again at work. They were glad to have him back. I've also been taking care of my grandparents. Who are going to live in Taylor with Lynn in a couple weeks to get out of the heat. They are very excited.

Enrique had his first musical about the Chinese New Year. He knew all the words. I am so proud of him. He has done really well with the transition. It took some time but he has made some friends. He really enjoys coming home from school and being able to play with his friends on the block.

Kaelei had to get used to going to kinder all day. That was harder on me than her. There are also pics of snow in Cali. The first time kids seen snow.
