Three happy trick o treaters

Can you guess? Anikan Skywalker

G.I Joe the new one

Fancy Nancy.... she had her I on this puppy and I told her if she is Fancy Nancy for halloween I'll get it . It's her dog Frenchy. She loves it too. I hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween.

It seems like Halloween is celebrated longer and longer. Now days the kids wear their costumes to school, church parties, neigh parties, by the time halloween actually gets here my kids have had enough. Seriously!! I let my kids literally gorge n candy for three days then ---gone. Yes I throw it away. never been a problem they have never asked for it again. Its works great for me. Anyhow this year we actually didn't stay home and pass out candy we went to a neighborhood party and it was a blast. We did take all the kids out for a little bit and then back for some more food and dancing around acting crazy. Isn't that what kids do best... I enjoyed being low key and enjoying my family time.

Mommy and Logan waiting for the train. All Aboard...Well as you can see we started the day off at Disneyland to get his free gift card. We stayed and went on a few rides, then headed home. It was so nice there. Beautiful day no waits. wanted to stay but had to come home to get ready for his party. A Dodger party with his friends. We played baseball,ate hot dogs , popcorn, licorice, and of course cake and ice cream. Logan surprisingly ate his cake. Not just the frosting that he loves. He did request the skateboards kids head to eat though. Funny !

Any how we did pinata cake and presents. We had fun. Thanks to Brenna-Brooklyn- Natalie- Cameron-Kylee-Rodrigo-Lauren Grandy N Grandpa & Grandma for all my fun toys.

This last week we enjoyed Dodger game one with kids and one without we went to Disneyland and Beach on Friday with good friend Missy Cj, Justin. It was cold there practically all day until sun broke out around 3 maybe for an hour or so. We then headed out to In & Out for dinner then home. The week prior United Methodist church hosted a Robot camp week that Tanner and Paige really enjoyed. They samg songs, did crafts and met new friends along with some friends they already new from church and the community.Logan was able to attend the Bridge Academy at La Fetra to get the Kindergartners ready for school. He enjoyed that and 2 play dates with his buddy Jared.We had a slow moving summer but happy to get back to the school/ soccer schedule again.

Last boat trip ...

Getting ready to pull out of water.

I caught 3 fish

Tanner after he caught a barracuda.

Logan sooo excited to just

be on the boat, like Daddy

Paige wore these practically

the whole day. Made sure she

could see everything.

Well after the boat was on the market for a year we finally were able to sell the boat and get out of that ugly payment. I know Scott will miss it and had a hard time letting go. It was hard for the whole family. We got to take it out one last time together as a family. Just to be on the water is sooo relaxing.

Garden

After we got this free tomato plant

growing delicious tomatoes Scott got

excited and decided to plant a vegetable

garden in our back yard in a spot that pr

pretty much did nothing for us now we

hopefully will have Cauliflower squash, zucchini, carrots bell peppers, which are quit pricey. Any how we are watching it everyday to see progress.

Homegrown tomatoes

Got these beauties ...

From this. It started on day

when I noticed a unfamiliar weed

looking thing in my rose bushes.

It kept growing n growing and

growing out of control, taking over my

roses. Then we discovered little green balls.

Well what do you know we have a tomato plant.

Don't know how it got there, but we get to enjoy

yummy tomatoes on the vine without

buying them. Perfect timing for the summer!

Bathroom update

Well it all started 7 yrs ago when we remodeled the house and the bathroom really never got finish. And so we left it bright yellow on top tan step and walls creamy yellow ragged. I have not liked it since then and have wanted to repaint. So paige pulled on the towel rack and it came out of the wall. Scott says now is the time to repaint if we are going to do it. Yea!! I helped with about half and ended up finishing the white on top. Decor still in waiting, but finally feels open and bigger.

So Paola Jordan and her 2 boys came with her friend, then Connie Strickland came with her 3 boys, then me with my 3 Missy and her Justin , sister-in-law Amber with her 2 youngest, then Stacey 8 months and her 3. We all met up at Huntington Beach with all 13 kids. it was fun. The kids all played so well together and the moms were able to relax. Cheap activity. $10 parking and walla. I love doing this and my 3 love it too. Yes I dous (sp)my kids in 85 sunblock and they are off. Reapply every 1 or 2. We all have fun and come home shower and a good night rest.
