A few pictures from the last couple of months

I was just going to have the kids use dress up clothes for generic costumes, but the night before Halloween I had a guilt trip. One of the kid's favorite movies is The Incredibles. They had already started calling each other by the names of the Incredibles family. So I managed to pull the costumes together. They got dressed up for preschool and then we went and visited Dad at work. They had so much fun. We finished the night off watching "The Incredibles" movie and eating candy in Mom and Dad's bed.












October 1, 2008. First day of Preschool. We couldn't get a picture of all three of them looking at the camera at the same time.



9/23/2008. We were driving home from the mountain and the kids were exhausted. We pulled over for a breather and a walk. They were so cute each walking on their "own road." They climbed back in the car and we had a nice drive back home.

Because facebook and myspace were not enough

Since so many of my friends have left myspace, and my family joined blogspot I have finally given up and now have blogspot account too. I will post my blogs for myspace over here next time I am on.

Things are going great with our family right now. Adam got back from his training in New Mexico...he had a lot of fun learning to make bombs and blowing up cars. He is looking forward to doing more Hazmat training and Clandestine (sp?) lab training. He has put a lot of work into the jet skis, but is looking forward to selling them so he can rebuild another stand up. We are hoping to take them out a few more times before it gets too cold. I am loving the 80-90 degree weather.

I am working at the school now as a PE teacher. It is quite the experience. I now plan on sending my kids to boarding school before sixth grade... Most of the kids are great, but I have had a few trials. It is getting better. The other teachers and administration are great. I enjoy getting out of the house, but miss the kids. I am still waiting to hear back from ASU about Law School. Hopefully I know by January.

Lillian is doing great. She is making new friends at school right now Madison and Hope are her best friends. She can be a little bossy, but is such a sweet and nice girl it makes up for it most of the time. She is such a little doll. She is very excited for Christmas and really gets the whole Santa thing this year. She is reading really well (when she wants too) and loves going to two schools. Miss Brett's and the "animal school" (One is a home based preschool and the other is her official preschool).

Titus is doing great at school. His clarity in speech has improved so much since starting preschool I wish I had enrolled him last year when he turned two. He is so cute. We were so excited. We finally had to go buy him new clothes. He has worn the same clothes for two years. He in 18-24 months sizes now. He is mostly weary 24 month for the length, unfortunately the pants fall right off if they don't have adjustable waist. He starts speech this month. He is writing his name now and is very protective of Serena at school.

Serena is finally officially walking! Yeah. She took 4-5 steps at 11 months and has refused to even try for me until this last week. Then she walked across the living room for daddy and decided to be a walking girl. Unless she can con mommy into carrying her everywhere. She likes to be able to cuddle as much as possible. She is such a little gabber now too. She responds very well to yes and no questions and often actually understands what we are saying. She loves to pound her chest like a gorilla when she wants more food and claps when she is done. I tried to teach her a few signs, but she just makes up her own. As long as we both understand what she wants that works for me.

I can't believe how fast they are growing, but we are enjoying almost every moment.
