Happy Holidays.....

Hi everyone! Hope that everyone is well and that you had the opportunity to spend a restfull Thanksgiving with those you love and to reflect on the things that make you truly thankfull.....I sure did.

No a whole lot to report on the homefront. The kids are all doing great, Troy's plugging away at the job and I am just keeping on keeping on. Most of the holiday decorations are up and we have a few gifts under the tree.

Christmas Cards will be more like New Years cards this year. The kids and I are off to Mexico Dec 12 thru 19 and I hope to be able to snap a cute photo of them on our trip. This trip to Cancun was supposed to be the family Christmas present, but just before we purchased airfare, we learned that Troy had a mantatory meeting in Las Vegas the same week the trip was planned. I begged and pleaded with the resort to change our dates, but there was no other availabliilty, so it's gonna be just me and the kids whooping it up in Cancun Mexico...wish me luck...or maybe say a prayer...either way I am sure it will be a great trip.

Anyhow, we return on the 19th and the kids don't go back to school until the 11th, so its gonna be a long vacation for us all.

Class Trip October 2010

During the month of October the San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park offer free admission for local schools and since the schools are so broke and have made no money available for field trips, Gabriels 2nd grade class spent the day at the Wild Animal Park. The lions were the most active I have ever seen and the cheetas for once were not hiding. It was a cool rainy day and the kids got to see and do so much because the park wasn't busy.

November 11th, 2010.....There's a teenager in the house....

But we really haven't noticed because she is still the same sweet girl she has always been.
For her birthday she had a few girlfriends over for pizza and then some mall shopping. On our way to Forever 21 to try on dresses for the upcoming Winter Formal, the snow machines came on and I was able to snap the bottom picture. The girls were so cute.
