Christmastime Slideshow

Eric and the Governator

Eric was lucky enough to get to do a security detail for a commercial that Governor Schwarzenegger was shooting in his area. He was able to meet him and even get a pic!

Halle's School Program

Halle and all the kindergarten classes sang "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" for their school program. Their noses were painted red and they wore cute little hand print antlers. It was very cute. Here she is after with her best school friend and carpool buddy Cali. (Ya, it can be pretty confusing!)

Katie's Baptism

Katie was baptized yesterday and it was such a beautiful day! I cannot believe she is 8 already. These pictures are just too cute not to post!

Happy [late] Thanksgiving!

Well, despite our best intentions on Thanksgiving to get a decent photo of all us, we ended up will a couple cute shots of the kids and the essential shot of Eric and Chad doing something gross and rather immature. At least things were normal!! But really, we had a great time and were very grateful for Eric to have the day off. We all had lots to be thankful for...


Halle is thankful for her cousins!! She loves spending time with them and is begging for us to move up to Bakersfield!

Isaac was thankful for the whip cream so lovingly placed on his nose by Uncle Chad, and also, for bottom drawers everywhere.

I am thankful for my sense of humor.

And everyone is thankful for Chad & Jackie's good news!!

Halle's First Hair Cut

Believe it or not, but my five and a half year old just got her first haircut today!! Our friend Andrea cut off 2 inches of her actual "baby" hair! She was so excited for her hair cut that she was counting down the days until her appointment. Her baby locks are now safely tucked away in an envelope. Too cute Halle!

Pre-haircut locks. And for the dramatic after photos.......(drumroll, please).........
