Here are some photos from Thanksgiving.  We had wonderful food and company.  The only thing missing was more family.  Denny and Hailey set the table, Wally and Natalia brought the delicious mashed potatoes, Dad and I both made stuffing(his was a bit better than mine) and he made the turkey too.  We also ate a roast and pies with fresh whipped cream!     



Hailey  loved her soccer season too.  She was my little slide tackle girl on the field.  Even though it got hectic some Saturdays, with both games at the same time,  I think we'll all do it again next season.

Champion Soccer Boys


The boys team had a great undefeated season.  Their coach on the left was really the best coach. Denny loves soccer now, and became one of the best on the team.    I love his new white cleats.  We called him Elvis the last game!

My little tennis Winner



It was an exciting weekend watching Denny play tennis.  It was single elimination, and Denny smashed his his way thru the finals.    He played beautiful and aggressive.

Halloween was FUN!!!

I was telling fortunes!



First the kids' school had a big bash complete with Haunted House, cake walk and carnival games.  Then on Halloween night, the kids had friends over and we went trick- or- treating with another family.  Our neighbor fixes up her front just for our kids, so this year we had friends enjoy her creepy entry too.

Weather Still Warm in Cali




So we took the day and went to La Jolla and it was beautiful.  The kids found sea creatures and had fun exploring. We need to go to the beach more often.  We are so close.

So Hot!

It is October and fall, but you would never know it because it has been 95' F.  We all went swimming last night after eating dinner on our deck.  It was a perfect night.  All this heat has made us a bit lazy.  We missed soccer and tennis twice this week.  Yikes!!!

My boy is 10!  Grandma gave him the cutest card and this is what it said:
 10 reasons it's great to be 10
1.  Your video game skills are becoming unbeatable.
2. Only kids who've been around a whole decade know what's really going on.
3. You're starting to pass up those  shrimps who aren't tall enough to get into amusement park rides.  
4.  You get to eat ice cream and cake till you pop.
5.  Being a teenager is only 3 short years away.
6. A bigger allowance may be around the corner.
7. Gifts!
8. Now you're totally balanced-10 toes, 10 fingers, 10 years!
9. Single digits are so last year.   And... the best reason is...You can't get any more perfect than a perfect 10! 
Enough said, right?

Dennis came is 2nd in this tournament, and Hailey was drawing tennis art as we watched.  That was a fun morning and we celebrated by going to breakfast and taking more pictures.

My First

Ok, I have officially entered the world of blogging.  Here we go.  I love to take pix and what a better way to share them.
