Let's catch up....

Paige and Ethan. December 11th 2009

Paige got an award at school today!!!! She was recognized for outstanding citizenship, being a kind friend, outstanding effort in all subjects and beautiful handwriting. She didn't know it was coming so she was beyond excited when her name was called. We are so proud of the fantastic little girl that she is becoming. We all love her very much!!! Congratulations Paige!
Paige and I spent an afternoon alone together. We shopped for Daddy's christmas present, she picked out a great gift for him, can't tell you yet what it is but she is REALLY thoughtful and very observant. We had lunch and then she came to work with me. It was a great afternoon.

Ethan was in his first school production! His class (and a few others) sang 5 songs on stage while the Christmas story was read from the bible and an entire chapel of parents crammed in to see them. This is the best shot we got, on a camera. You can watch the video if you come see us! He was great. Knew every word and his teacher said he sang the loudest in the whole class. I love to see how much he loves Jesus.
This is us at Ethan's Thanksgiving feast at school. He made me my necklace...I wear it a lot. We even pulled Paige out of school to join us.

Halloween Week

We spent a great day at Disneyland!!!! Not too hot, kids had a blast. Did you know Tom Sawyers Island is open again????? We had a storm trooper and a fairy ballerina in our house for Halloween. It was the end of the night though before I got pictures so they are a little disheveled. How do you get rid of this all this candy? Anyone not get enough????

Paige's school had a Halloween carnival and Billy came home early to go with us!!!!! Lots of fun!

Christmas Cards Maybe?????

We were walking through Target and when I turned around, this is what I saw. So totally cute!!! Maybe I will make Christmas cards out of them. Good to see so much JOY on my kids faces!!!!!

Mission Viejo Walk Against Drugs

We did the Mission Viejo Walk Against Drugs last weekend and it was really HOT!!! I pushed the kids in the stroller, they took turns walking and riding. After a few minutes of walking Ethan turned to me and said "why are we walking for drugs?" He's so cute...I said "we are not walking FOR drugs, we are walking AGAINST drugs" he replied..."whatever...it's hot!!!" Didn't care about the drug part at all...just wanted to not be hot. We went to a fair after and they got to play in some bounce houses and eat snow cones. Good morning all around.

We LOVE us our Wahoo's!!!

Happy Birthday Faith!!!!

We got to take a Saturday off from work and spend the day with Faith for her birthday!!!!

First Day of School

This is Ethan's first day of Preschool!!! He loves his teacher and has such a great time learning about letters and God. He's is really sharp and can do lots of his letter sounds and can tell you all about the creation of the world and Adam and Eve. The Lord watches over him every day and really has His hand on this little boy. We are so proud of him!

This is Paige on the FIRST day of FIRST GRADE!!!! Wasn't see only born 6 years ago? What is she doing sitting at a desk???? She is doing really well in school, reading like a librarian, and having a great time making friends. She is such a helper to the teacher and other students. She has already taken 4 kids to the nurses office to be fixed up after they have taken a fall. Maybe she will be a nurse???? WE LOVE HER!!!!
