Da' Family Update 2010!!

FYI- the text is OFF sync with the pics & try as I might I can't fix it....but whatever!

Once again it's been WAYYYY too long! Over a year I think...


A short update on our family:

-We bought a house! We affectionately call it "fugly"..as it needs lots of work & really is rather ugly. Great area, huge lot & the interior is looking better all the time!


-We all had birthdays. Riley turned 5!


-Riley enrolled in Kindergarten this year. Birney Magnet in Hillcrest area. We were nervous how he would adjust...but he loves it. His love for books seems to inspire him to learn to read. A bonus- his bestfriend from an old preschool is now in his class.


-Cosmo is still fat...and she snores.


-I continue to run. Having done 2 marathons this year, had knee surgery & got in a handfull of sprint triathlons.


-Lo is working her butt off & shaping up Welk Resort retail world. It's been a tough couple of years in the job market for her & she's done amazing things for this little company. I'm really proud of her.




The PICS! Not in order for the most part...
























Petco Park Padre's game..this is the best part! That and the sand pit play area.


















My favorite pic in the past year!
























This is what you do when your kid is tossing his cookies & you can't leave the bathroom..























Visited Kona during a conference this time last year...It was amazing running early morning in the lava fields.
























Happy Halloween 2009!!

Olivia and Riley! That's some seriously CUTE kids! (her mother is going to have to lock her in the house as a teen...)
























Happy 2010!! Robin and Seth married the 31st & the party went into the New Year...
























Happy Birthday Riley! Big FIVE years old. He insisted we did Chuck E Cheese for his party... it turned out to be a great idea. We didn't have to do a thing & they ran the party.



























Birthday boy & mommies...
























This was hilarious- as he leaned over it would all get stuck on his face...























We had to grind the floors in the new (to us) house... Cough cough..wheeze wheeze...
