Friends

Anthony and his friend Jackson enjoying time at the park.....

Sea World

Last weekend I went to San Diego for a conference, and my mom and the boys came along. We were able to go to SeaWorld for two days and we had a blast! We pet and fed dolphins, sea turtles, and sting rays. We saw penguins, sharks, pink flamingos, baluga whales, and of course...SHAMU! Anthony enjoyed watching from a distance with map in hand, and Jack wanted to go swimming with the dolphins. It was an awesome time.

Alana and Ethan

Slumber Party at Grandma's!!!
Here are some recent pictures of my beautiful neice Alana. She has amazing blue eyes, and she is just such a girl. Go butterfly parade!
She just recently turned 5 and is kicking butt at Forest Grove. She can count to 100, and is a wonderful artist...
my nephew Ethan is 5 months older than Anthony, and they are finally getting over their competitiveness and really playing well together. They are boys though, so as you can imagine, they can definitely get into some trouble together.....

Naps

As you can see, we are not really a "structured nap" kind of family. We are always on the go, so the boys have a hard time settling down when I want them to. I came into the room the other day to find Jack snoozing on the toy basket......he looks comfy, doesn't he????

Jordan

Jordan is now in the 5th grade!! She is finally feeling alittle "challenged" at school, which is a great thing. The last couple of years, she has been a little bored, and it is nice to see her have to push herself in school. She just aced her US states test, and she loves to read. Jordan decided to play volleyball this year, it has been so fun to watch her do something new. She just told us that she wants to play basketball too! We are all sure she is going to be great, not only does she have a great shot, she has an even better attitude about teams and sports. When Jordan walks into the door, Anthony and Jack pretty much hang on to her ankles till the moment she leaves. She is so patient and playful.
Jordan and Anthony recently went to the 49er game with Daddy!

My Little Italian

The Warf

Today we did our Fun Friday Favorite Activity, Go Visit Papa!! The boys love to visit the sea lions, feed the birds, and ofcourse, dare eachother to touch a crab. Even on a foggy/rainy day like today, it is our favorite way to catch some fresh air!

School

Anthony goes to preschool 3 days a week now, for 3 hours each morning. He absolutely loves it. He has one male teacher, one female and 3 wonderful teacher's assistants. He can write out his own first name, as you can see by the pictures. He loves to write in his letter books becaues he feels like he is doing "homework" like Jordan. (Anything to be like Jordy Bear). He has made a few good friends, but his closest friend by far is Jackson. Jackson's tempermant seems to be just like Anthony, and they get along really well. A lot of people have mistaken them for brothers! The best part is that we found out that Jackson lives on Buena Vista, which is the same street that we will be moving to in P.G.! It is funny to think that they might be life long friends.

Jack's ABC's

Jack loves to sing his ABC's and knows almost every sound for each letter....... check out this video!

Halloween

Here are our Halloween outfits for 2007. As you can see, Anthony was Dale Earnhardt Jr., perfectly appropriate because he is obsessed with all motor sports. Jack was my little brown bear, he actually walked an entire block , candy can be such motivation....

Let's see how this works!

Hello Family and Friends,
So I am trying to be high tech here and start a "blog", never in my life did I think I could do this, but Amy Riedel you have inspired me!!! It is such an easy way to keep everyone posted on our family. Let's just see if I can post a couple pictures or something....
