Emma turns 10

Emma made her own cake on her actual birthday while we were in Colorado.
Emma had her "After Party" back in Cali with (left to right) Chloe, bday girl, Amber, Ruth, Kaylie & Taylor. Cutest pre-teens ever.

Grateful for our Colorado family

Our 10 days in Colorado were spent:

*playing credit card Monopoly

*Black Friday shopping

*learning (and benefiting from) auto repair with Uncle Terry

*eating turkey

*watching Nash & Briseis enjoying each other

*rolling around in Auntie Tracy's backyard with her dogs (ok, that was mostly Lula)

*celebrated several family birthdays

*getting spoiled by...everyone

*playing in the yard of dried leaves

Halloween

2 pirates+Superman+a Rock Star=lots of candy

Dedan turns 6

We celebrated Dedan's birthday with a round of mini golf and dinner at Farrell's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor. Gram and Daddy made sure he got his birthday spankings.

Summer Fun

My cute sister, Tressa, and I went with our kids (minus baby Nash who stayed home with Dad), mom and T's friend, Kaysie, & my BFF, Rach, to Legoland in August. A great time was had by all, but I love this picture of me and my favorite sister...ok, my only sister.

Har's new job

Har is enjoying his new job in Santa Barbara. He took this picture of himself in his office-his first office!

Monday's Monsoon

Yes, we were supposed to be packing while Rachel was here to help, but who can resist dancing around in a major rainstorm? NOT US!

California, HERE WE COME!

Right back where we started from!

Har got a great opportunity and promotion to Loss Prevention Assistant Manager at the Four Seasons in Santa Barbara (aka The Biltmore). We'll be moving to that area sometime in July. Don't ask me exactly where or when yet, because I don't know. I'm just excited that we are going!

Dedan's Favorite Teacher

Ok, so she's his first teacher, but he still loves her.

Dedan's Kindergarten Promotion

My sweet boy almost ready for first grade.

Nash the toddler

Check out Nash cruising the hallway. He's 13 months and walking like....a gorilla...no frankenstein. Whatever. He's cute!

VIDEO!

I figured out how to add video to my blog! Cool, huh? This is just Nash playing in the tub. Look for some video of him walking soon.
