Happy WINTER!

Happy December!
We love this time of year! We have being doing the Advent Calendar and enjoying each day with our Christmas Tree in our family room. We've been baking treats and singing songs - We just love Christmas time!

Here's a photo of the kids with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Joe's Barbershop Christmas Show.


Here's sweet Morgan as we get ready to go to the Angel Christmas program at the kids' Pre-School.


Here's Joey playing one last time in the leaves before the snow arrived the next day!


And here's the family at Dull's Tree Farm - a tradition we have done since before Joey was born - we cut down our Christmas Tree!


Although it was sunny, it was quite a cold day - the kids are dressed nice and warm and enjoyed playing in the snow while we searched to farm for a tree!


We wish you all a very blessed Holiday Season - I am sure there will be more photos before this month is done!

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'

The first week in November took across on an airplane ride across the country to Huntington Beach, CA. The kids did great (it was Morgan's first flight!) and the time change didn't affect them much either...

Joe and I spent Monday through Friday at a Sports Leadership Training in San Diego, while Uncle Tom and Aunt Debbie played with the kids.

It was a fantastic trip for all of us!


Morgan at the Long Beach Aquarium (pretending to swim through the coral).


Morgan and Aunt Debbie really enjoyed each other.


Uncle Tom & Aunt Deb were fantastic hosts and the kids just LOVED spending time with them!


Morgan loved her first visit to the ocean at Huntington Beach - but the water was cold!


Joey was much more interested in sand castles than going near the salty cold water.


JT Schmids is a wonderful restaurant in Anaheim that also happens to nearly share the name of Joe (his initials are JTS - but it turns out the owner's name is actually Jared...still a cool photo!)

There are many more photos to download that were taken while we were away at the conference each day, but I wanted to post those that I had taken as soon as I got a chance.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN (and an update to the kitchen too!)

Happy Halloween!
Here is Princess Morgan and Pirate Joey at their Pre-school Pumpkin Party!



My Dad (and mom and brother) came down last weekend to help move along the kitchen renovation - which was at a complete hault since May! Slowly...very slowly...




(that's a counter top -finally! and the microwave and dishwasher have been put in..no power to that side of the kitchen yet...but boy do they look good!)
