High School Musical On Ice

We were given some tickets for High School Musical on Ice from a friend who works at 107.9. Our seats were great but when we went to get in the radio station had made a mistake and given us tickets for the wrong night. Feeling slightly panicked we were escorted over to the ticket booth where they upgraded our whole group of 12, to a box Suite!!!! It was SO much fun. Hayden is still talking about it!

Early Christmas.....

Christmas has come a little early for Brooke. She wanted a little dog. ( I guess because 2 big dogs, 2 horses, 1 donkey, 1 snake and 3 goats were not enough to take care of..) But the crazier part was we agreed with her. So we now are the proud owners of a Boston Terrier named Willie. He is awsome and what do you know, Brooke can get up early now for school, get homework done faster and even want to go to bed on time( willie sleeps with her).

Pajaro Dunes

A couple of weeks ago we rented a beach house and stayed at Pajaro Dunes. It was a great time with my parents. I love the ocean. It was so relaxing and the beach makes for unlimited hours of entertainment for the kids. It was a perfect weekend and I am hoping to get back there soon.

Homework

Homework....

After the kids are home from school for a little while we sit down to do homework. It always seems to be one of our more chaotic times of the day. Today as I was working with Brooke, Malcolm and Hayden were suppose to be quietly doing their work. Well... didn't exactly work out that way. I think we went downhill from here. Good thing they have a until Friday to complete it.

Mya's First Day of Preschool

I forgot to take the normal first day of school pictures of Brooke going into 5th grade, Malcolm into 2nd grade and Hayden in Kindergarten. Yes, I blew it!!! So to try and redeem myself yesterday I took the camera AND remembered to use it as Mya started preschool. I was not prepared to see her cute little face say to me, "Bye, have a good day mom!" So choking back tears I said the same back to her and quickly got into my car and cried myself all the way to work. I can't believe how fast they seem to be growing up!!!
