Twilight Saga

What is the hype about? I finished the last book last night & I seriously do not see what everyone was talking about. I was expecting more drama I guess. From what people were saying it sounded like it was going to be a huge dramatic ending... Not all that impressed. So, enlighten me... What did I miss?

Do You Hear That?

It is the sound of utter SILENCE!  Today is the 1st day of school. This means 8 hours of no fighting between Emma & Gavin. It also means no doors opening & closing & letting in a million flies.  I can barely contain myself I have no idea where to start my day. It will be fun to just hang out with Emma. She will start school Sept. 4th, two days a week for a few hours & then it really will be quite here! I'm going to continue my morning in silence before Emma wakes up. Y'all have a good day :)   HAPPY 1st DAY OF SCHOOL.

So Much To Blog!

Okay so it's been forever...... I have been busy & that is my excuse... I know I should never be too busy to blog but really if I'm not entertaining my kids I'm just too dang tired to blog. Okay so perhaps it's laziness that has taken over more than anything but I'm here now so now you will all have to read as I get you up to date on our lives. 

First, Andrew & Gavin start school this Monday (YAY) & they will be going to a new school. Andrew's principal retired last year & he was super cool. We were all sad to see him leave. Well this new principal that took the job was not so cool. She called Andrew & said she was going to give him  a kindergarten/1 st grade class. Yes, you read that correct, Andy said no way jose & called a different school but within the same district & asked if there were any openings. Turns out there was 1 opening for a 3 rd grade position at Temple Heights, (closer to home! yay!) He was interviewed & called within 30 minutes of the interview saying they wanted him! This is such a better move for him. I'm excited for them both & can't wait to hear all about the first day!

This summer has been busy. Gavin had swim lessons, Emma has had dance lessons & she still is continuing them. I have been engrossed of the "Twilight" Saga (halfway through the last book.) I'll have a whole another blog just for that cause I just have to talk about it! 

We took Gavin to his first baseball game. We saw the Padres & Diamondbacks. We went with Gerret & Sarah & it was a fun night. It was Mormon night & I think the favorite part of the whole evening for Gavin was when one of the batters broke the bat in half. He thought it was amazing! 

Andy wants everyone to know that he mowed the lawn today. Not a very fun feat but nonetheless the lawn looks great! One of the best on the block!

Lastly, I wanted to write about my grandpa. A few weeks ago we took the kids to Ontario (Cali) This is where my grandma & grandpa lived for many years. We went to a favorite restaurant by the way will open in Temecula closer to us. so instead of driving an hour & a half we'll drive just 30 minutes to Vince's Spaghetti. We went to grandpa's grave & cleaned it off. Then we drove down old I Street to see their house. I remember spending many summers there. I loved that house! We then took the kids to the corner store to buy candy. When I was young we used to walk there, we as in my siblings & cousins. It was great to go back to Ontario & to tell the stories that I remember with grandma & grandpa to Gavin & Emma. I loved staying with Grandma & Grandpa. When we first arrived at their house & as soon as my mom & dad left they would put us in their car & take us to the store to buy Fudgecicles & Captian Crunch all the junk food that we normally did not eat :) Those were the days & those are the times I will cherish forever! 

So, now back to reality... Back to school. Back to a normal routine. I'll be better at my blogging. I'm posting pics. of my grandma & grandpa's house & the little candy store. I don't know how to put the pictures where I want them yet so bare with me & I'll figure it out soon!
