Sam and his moth

 
Sam caught a moth the other night or is it a bat?

1st field trip

 
We went to the Children's museum in Stockton and had a great time. I had never been there before so it turned out to be a worthwhile field trip. Georgia loved it! Here she is with two friends, both named Madison.

Georgia lost two teeth!

 

That's right, this little, almost six year old has finally lost two teeth within twenty-four hours of each other. Now she has a window in her mouth and is pretty excited for show and tell tomorrow. Oh, to be a fly on the wall for a few minutes during kindergarten hours!!!That would be hilarious. Who knows how many family stories she has already shared? The tooth fairy better be ready! She wrote her a letter,a sort of questionnaire type letter and asked for the tooth fairy to write back. Looks like I have another late night.

Barbeque chips

O.k., I have to admit that I rarely eat potato chips but Georgia and I were eating lunch and I grabbed a handful of barbecue chips and they were sooo yummy! I haven't eaten them for a long time and now I know why, I could become an addict.Kind of like Lindsay Lohan with her drug addiction but different. Mine would be a chip addiction. Tortilla chips have to be my main food group,with salsa of course. I think I have made it at least 3 times this week with my overflowing supply of tomatoes. My salsa rocks! I have a few different varieties now and I am sure that I completely survive on chips and salsa.Every now and then I would throw in a handful of barbecue chips. Long, live chips!

Happy Anniversary to you!

 

Happy Anniversary to John and Andrea(Connor too)Has it really been 5 years? Wow,time goes too fast. I hope you get a chance to celebrate. XOXO-Suzi

Tomorrow is the big Day!!!

Yes, we all know that tomorrow the 17th is the Premier of High School Musical 2. Let's just say that it is pure pandemonium around here. Hannah's friend is actually having a party to celebrate this long awaited event. The girls can hardly wait. I am so glad because now Georgia will stop asking me "how many more days until..." But, will she fall asleep or actually sit through it? That is the question.

Santa Cruz Saturday

Minus Patrick and me...I am now the photographer. Sean often steals my photos and puts them on his blog before I have a chance to even see them.

Three on the beach

After Sam's soccer tourney we headed to the beach for a minute. A little cold for us. (Notice the sweatshirts, that is Northern Calif.) Patrick was with the Church Kids waterskiing.

Gracie's long lost cousins?

Georgia found a few friends in Santa Cruz. She was sure that they were related to Gracie!

Where does time go?

I can't believe that we are already in the MIDDLE of August, time flies. I swear, the kids just got out of school and now we are right in the middle of the third week of another school year, with buckets of homework, soccer practice every night, not to mention scouts, Church activities, more stinkin' homework and a 7th grader that has to wake up at 6:00 a.m. to catch a 7:15 a.m. bus. This is why time flies! Plus, I hate getting up early...when I am tired, which is pretty much all of the time,I just fake "not" being tired a lot. I like it usually once I am up and it is just me and Patrick(because we all know that Sean is still snoozing until the next group wakes up)and we can enjoy the quiet for a moment, read the paper, start another load of laundry or just drink hot chocolate, Patrick does this often.So, I guess I do like the early morning after all. I better head off to bed so that once again I can turn off the alarm and jump out of bed at 6:00a.m., and maybe time will slow down a little bit tomorrow.
