Art

These are pieces of art from Ryan. He did these with his art teacher in second grade.
Maddie got to go to see a fantastic work of art - Beauty and the Beast. Her friend Madison took her. They went all the way to Redding! They had a fabulous time!!

Hooker Oak

We took the kids to see the Hooker Park stump. We were so sad to learn it had been vandalized, burned. It's a good thing we went when we did as it now has been removed by the City and put in storage. Boo!

Family Temple Trip

We took the kids down to the Sacramento Temple for an afternoon. I believe it was John's first trip! The kids really enjoyed it. It was fun to be there with so many friends. We even got to eat with the Guadagnins after!

No More Blankie

John is done with that dirty old blankie. He has loved it for four years, but it had to go. In celebration of making it 5 days without blue blankie we had a brownie with chocolate milk and got a new worker dress up outfit. It made the week a little easier to bear...

Mac is 13

So it turns out Mac doesn't like being called Malcolm. He wants to be called Macky. Ok. Ok.
Well, Macky is now a TEENAGER! It is amazing to me that he is already here. He woke up early and reminded us constantly that is was his birthday. We had a family dinner with ribs, per his request. He had a great day. I sure do love that kid.

John is 4!

John turned four! He woke up to fun gifts! We then met Grandma, Grandpa, Jeff, and Aunt Sharon at Krispie Kreme for donuts. He played all day and we celebrated that night with ice cream cake. Although, I think Ryan is the one who blew out the candle, John sure enjoyed trying to do it himself.
He wants to have his birthday again tomorrow or the next day... Poor kid has to wait another year.

Pinewood Derby

Mac and Elaine worked together to make a great car for the race. Mac had an awesome design. He didn't win, but he had lots of fun!
