Baseball

Today was a good day at work, left early to get kiddos ready for baseball. Corey had a game; Kate had practice. Kate came home tired, Corey came home grumpy...I'm going to blame the wind. The wind is now the cause for my family's grouchiness. I need to take pictures with the iPad so that I can share easier...either that or blog from my iPhone...who knows what tomorrow will bring.

It's been forever!

It has been forever since my last post. The little ones are growing up fast. Baseball season has hit us full swing. Ever feel like you're juggling too many balls at once? I do many times!

Merry Christmas!!!

Bidwell Park

Had fun with the kids up at Bidwell Park in Chico....they really enjoyed running around and Jeff and I enjoyed relaxing a bit while they ran around. Forgot how nice Chico is...wish I had a park like this in YC but Chico is too far for Jeff to commute to otherwise I'd be tempted to move! lol

Jaxon's Birthday

I know I have been slacking...here are a few newer pictures from Jaxon's party.

Front of new classroom

I was able to tour MHS new building which is almost done. Their classrooms are exactly like our new ones. This is what the front of my classroom will look like. There will be three moving whiteboards in front of the bookcases though.

Some silly pics of Anna

Some new pictures

Kids are growing fast! Anna weighed in at 22.5oz and 30.5 inches at her 15 month appointment. Corey survived three shots and his 11 year old check up. Baseball is back, practice is going right now and games start on 3/13. Katie hasn't been assigned her farm softball team yet but she is waiting...not patiently. Jaxon just wants to play ball but he won't be able to for another two years at least. Poor him!

Christmas Morning

The kids woke us up at 6AM!! Then proceeded to wake up their younger brother and sister so that they could open presents. I was smart this year and put the coffee on delay brew so that it would be done when we got up! It was a great morning and we have enough paper trash for the blue garbage for three weeks or so!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with Mom, Richard and Michael. It was a great time and they were both super surprised with their gifts. Michael had to wait though because in the midst of all my wrapping, I accidentally labeled his to Corey from G. Gma Dawson rather than to him from us!! Craziness....took me about five minutes of going through presents to find his present. He was patient and forgave me!
