Update

We have had a lot of changes going on here over the last few weeks!
Eric is now working 12's at the Riverside office which has been great!! He is home all the time now! We certainly went from one extreme to the other. I have really enjoyed it and I know the kids have as well.

I am training to run my first marathon in January and am planning to start working toward my group fitness certification next month. I am so excited!! I feel like it is all I can think about sometimes.

The kids are really doing well in school and things couldn't be going better there!

We are mostly just enjoying spending time together and waiting for the cooler weather to come. Fall is such an exciting time and my favorite time of year.

A Pirate Battle

I met some ladies who are in faith-based group here in the valley. They are wonderful and have a jam-packed schedule that always has something fun for us to do. Today they had a pirate adventure at the partk. There was a treasure hunt and in the end a water battle between two pirate ships. It was very fun with all the kids decked out in their pirate wear.

Gavin Goes to Preschool

We decided at the last minute to put Gavin into preschool. He is going to St. John's Lutheran and we are incredibly happy with the program that they have there. His teachers are fabulous and he is so happy to finally have something of his own to do all by himself! Here he is on his first day... which he handled like a pro...

The first day of first grade

Some pics of Halle going to school for the first day.

Her teacher is Mrs. Perez and she has been enjoying every second of it!

Paige's Visit- August

My cuz Paige comes and visits me every Summer and I love it! We have so much fun laughing and shopping (LOTS of shopping) Here are a few pics from her and my aunt and uncle's visit. We also spent a couple of days in Palm Desert at the Marriot as we do most Summers. Eric surprised me with a massage and body scrub at the spa. I forgot to chrage my camera batteries and was without the whole time!! The kids had fun in the pool. We also went out with my Mom and Dad and Carla and Milt to Ruth's Chris. It had been years since we had eaten at our long-ago frequented favortite restaurant. It was so yummy... thanks again to Paige for babysitting! We also had a good time at the beach...
