Apples to Apples ... Whaaaat?

This is Sherrie, Lisa, and Jessica since Jessica never blogs. We're helping her because she has three busy little children. Tonight we spent the evening together after getting kicked out of Mom and Dad's house--it was past curfew for the temple-going grandparents who are getting up at 5:30 tomorrow morning. To update Jessica's latest, we've done some Disneyland, had some t-ball, um.. dance, a few birthdays. Sorry no pictures now ..... stay tuned. Possibly. Here's some pictures of a wild, good time. (A Sabbath day appropriate wild, good time.)

OH, HOW TIME FLIES!

Life is just passing me by in some unbelievable speed! My last entry-Kobie goes to the big "K"- wow, that was approximately 4 months ago? O.K. just to let you all know, you get to enjoy me at my best. I get to do this blogging thing at the end of the night, when my thoughts, math, spelling, and anything and everything are all off and confused in my little head. So... good luck and enjoy yourself trying to figure out just what it is that I am writing. Random thoughts here and there, not editing anything. Yeah well anyway, we're all still here, alive and well. Kobie is really enjoying school. He's made a lot of new friends and enjoys "chasing the girls" at recess. I get to teach his class art once a month for the art docent program. It's really fun, and the kids are great. Bella is finally potty trained. Whew! Now she's just waiting to start the dance classes that we promised she could take when she "goes on the potty all the time". She will love it! She's definately a natural. She comes up with these graceful ballet looking moves that really kind of shock us sometimes. We're always asking her where she learns it. It's so funny. Lilly's grown so crazy fast. She's just running all around with her silly curly hair. She's such a little character. Well, here are some pictures from the last few months. Let's see, there are some Halloween, pumpkin patch, back yard fun in the leaves, Lilly's b-day, and some others maybe? Oh, I will add our little hit-n-run action on our poor little van parked in our driveway that has postponed our Disneyland trip picture also. Well I guess I can't call it a hit and run anymore since the dudes confessed. But we still have'nt seen the money they owe us. Silly gangstas. Well, everyone have a great Thanksgiving. We are looking forward to seeing you all soon! And to the ones that we may not see soon, we miss you all very much and love ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GOOD NIGHT.

Kindergarten!

Kobie is now a Manzanita Mustang. WOO-HOO! He really enjoyed his first week of school. I signed up to be a "room mother" and am looking forward to seeing him in action.

Marine World!

Last week we took the kids to Marine World. They had a really good time. It was so fun to see Kobie and Bella go on all of the rides together. We also saw the Shuka (whale) show and the dolphin show. It gave us flashbacks from when Kobie was two, and we went to see Shuka. He stuck his head through the bars at the stadium seating and got it stuck. Silly kid! Dave was a little dissapointed because we missed seeing all of the animals. We did not realize that they close that part up a few hours before the rest of the park closes. Lilly would have loved to see them! She was excited to see the camels. We also saw the flamingos, and made it just before the butterfly exibit closed. That was cool. If it were not for the kids dislike for long car rides, we would go again soon. Oh well, I'm sure Dave would'nt mind if we never went again!

FINALLY.....Here's Lilly!

Okay, so I'm still trying to figure stuff out on this thing. I meant to add pics and info on Lilly on the last blog, but things were not working out. Here we go again. Well, she's 10 months old-going on 11 at the end of the month. She super sweet and fun. She just took her first steps the other day, so I'm sure she will be running around the house in no time. She loves watching her brother and sister play, and often joins in the fun. She's a good little girl, but also has a lot of her mamma in her. Stubborn old oak tree!
