Our Tradition

Every year since we moved to Fresno 5 years ago (wow, has it really been that long?) we go to Cobb Ranch to pick out our Christmas tree. The Ranch always has fun things for the kids. This year they had a huge blow up slide and bounce houses for the kids to play on. We also had yummy cinnamon rolls, visited with the horses, and of course picked out our tree.

Serenity celebrates 6 Scooby Style

Serenity wanted a Scooby-Doo party this year so we decided to have a Groovy Sooby Movie party. All the kids came dressed in their pajamas. We started off with some freeze dance moves to the tune of he Scooby Doo theme song. Then we ate some sandwiches, scooby snacks, and other yummies. We spread out blankets in the living room so the kids could sit on the floor. Ren opened her presents and then we had cake. My friend Karen did an amazing job decorating a scooby cake (I got the pan at Michael's)! Then we busted out the popcorn and watched a Scooby Doo movie! The goody bags were a popcorn bag with microwave popcorn, candy, and a scooby fruit snack. It was a fun day!!

Halloween

Trick-or-Treat give us something good to eat! Super Mario, Daphne (from Scooby Doo, and our Little Chicken had fun
trick-or-treating this year!

Halloween

This year we traveled to T-town to celebrate halloween. We were able to visit with Great Grammie, Great Grandma, Great Aunt Myra, Great Uncle Delbert, Great Great Aunt Florence, and Great Great Aunt Maggie. The kids had fun visiting with everyone and especially giving Aunt Myra a hard time :) Of course they got soooo much candy, money, games, and other fun things from everyone.

Fang boy

Just in time for New Moon, Parker is sporting his vampire look. His first tooth was his right fang, then his two bottom, and the left fang should be sticking out any day.

End of the Soccer Season

The last game of the season was AWESOME! Both kids had such a blast and were aggressive and into the game! Ren wanted to stay in the whole game, which is quite an improvement from crying and sitting in the car for the first few games. Landen scored a goal!!! The picture of him with thumbs up is right after he scored. The picture of Ren with her thumb up is after Landen scored. After that she was bound and determined to score a goal. She was SOOOO close, but not quite! Next year for sure!

Serenity's Tooth

The Tooth Fairy visited our home this month. Serenity lost her first tooth at school. She was so excited and had a million questions about the tooth fairy, like what she ate and how she got into our house. We went to the store and got some supplies so she could decorate a little treasure box where she could keep her tooth. The tooth fairy was very generous because it was her first tooth and it was extra clean... $5!
