Post Christmas morning unwrapping mess!
It was a great Christmas for us this year. It was our first time in 14 years of marriage to be with just our own family. It was nice to stay in Pj's all day and play and build. We were able to make some new traditions and memories.

Keaton was wiped out after all of the unwrapping, building, playing, trying on clothes, games and food!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Gingerbread Houses! It's Christmas time and you need to have gingerbread houses out. The kids had a great time constructing and decorating their houses. I think this will turn into an annual tradition in our house. It needs alittle adjusting for next year though. Good Times!

It Snowed In Danville After 30 Years!
Of course it snowed the one day Jeff is on a business trip. He missed it. It may be another 30 years. I woke up at 4 in the morning because i hear heavy rain or something and it was snowing. I woke Cameron up(scared her to death) and we had to go out side in it before it melted away. Luckily it was still there when the kids woke up for school. They even had a little left to play with when they got home from school. It was a fun day in Danville. Can't wait for it in another 30 years if I am still around.

Graham's Baptism!
Graham was Baptised as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints this November 2009. He was very proud to do this. He is a great example to us of choosing the right and serving others. He is a great example to his friends around him too. He is a very special spirit in our home and we are so blessed he is with us today. We are proud of you Graham!

Santa Santa Santa
The only one who would sit on Santa's lap. Little miss sunshine. She is all about telling Santa what she wants for Christmas. When the kids did there Christmas list's each fit on a page. Not Brinley! Her list was 4 pages long and could probably have kept going if grandpa's hand wasn't tired of writing :)

2010-01-19T21:38:00.000-08:00

Trick or Treating! We had three little fairies this year and a Jango Fhett. Graham (8) lasted about a block and was back to play Wii or DS. Jalen (6) lasted about a block and a half and wanted to just hand out the candy. Brinley (5) and Keaton (2) lasted for about 4-5 blocks. They figured out the more houses the MORE CANDY! They are our sweet tooth girls!

2010-01-19T21:31:00.000-08:00

We painted our pumpkins this year. The kids loved it. It was easier because there were no sharp objects or pouting because when we cut in the wrong place and they could all do it on there own. They painted there hearts out and had such creativity. The kids were very proud to show there pumpkins to anyone and everyone that came by over the holiday. Much detail and stories where told about this special Halloween activity. That was really spontaneous because Jeff and I didn't feel like carving pumpkins.

2010-01-19T21:14:00.000-08:00

Jalen did mustang soccer this year. This is her after she played against a team with most of her school friends on it. At first she said she wasn't going to score any goals against them because she didn't want to hurt there feelings. Then we talked about her doing her best and they will do there best too. It is all in fun. She loves soccer. She is playing on an indoor team now with girls she played with on indoor last year. Soccer is great exercise for her since shee is always moving, climbing, jumping, running, etc.

2010-01-19T21:11:00.000-08:00

We are officially into scouts! Graham is loving it. He has invited 2 school friends to be in his Den. He has a great group of boys. They have 17 boys so they are split into 2 Dens. They should have alot of fun as they grow up together with such a large group of boys the same age.

2008-12-01T21:42:00.000-08:00

Jalen was her own stylist today. She did a great job replicated 'Joe Dirt' it was hard not to laugh. Then I had to fix this situation. First a quick bob cut at great clips...well...NO! They can't do that there so I found out the hard way. I don't know which was worse, Jalen's or the professional. So, off to a salon now. Now, I am paying for 2 haircuts. Finally, she gets it right. Jalen loves it and so do I. The scissors and put up high very high now.

Happy Halloween!
We had a great halloween! Watch out for that pirate! Sad to say the candy is almost gone...Mom...Dad...

2008-11-05T17:38:00.000-08:00

Moving back into the house after a 61/2 months remodel. We are excited to be back in the house. I don't know who is more excited about the playroom, the kids or the parents. We still have projects getting finished but we are enjoying the house everyday.

2008-11-05T17:32:00.000-08:00

Time to go! What a great trip. Boy our we tired. We would do it again anytime! Thanks Disney for a great trip.

2008-11-05T17:28:00.000-08:00

This is Cozumel. We got great pure vanilla here. Saw great sites and enjoyed the weather and souvenirs.

2008-11-05T17:26:00.000-08:00

You can't forget the princesses everywhere you go!

2008-11-05T17:21:00.000-08:00

Eating was always fun on the boat. We had characters visit at anytime. We did silly things with our napkins and even had a pirate night at dinner. Don't forget all you can eat too, or in Graham's case all you can eat of the same thing every night. Custom food if you want! Great service!

2008-11-05T17:15:00.000-08:00

Some of the fun things we did o the boat. The must do hair braiding. A little painful for Brinley but she said it was worth the pain! The great Mickey pool and slide. Seeing your kids having such fun was great to watch. Let's see what else we did...

2008-11-05T17:10:00.000-08:00

The beach and ocean at Disney's private island 'Castaway Cay'. This was our favorite stop. We were able to go here twice. It is Disney Perfect, down to the soft white sand imported from AZ. Yes, that is Arizona! This was truelly heaven on earth.

2008-11-05T17:05:00.000-08:00

How could you not like all of the chocolate covered ice cream bars that you can eat, the flying dutchman and goofy all week. These are a few of the the fun things we did. Here come some more...

ALL ABOARD THE DISNEY CRUISE!

We took a Disney Cruise in October that was wonderful. If anyone is thinking of it, I highly recommend it. The kids and adults all had a great time.

2008-11-05T16:58:00.000-08:00

Jalen and Brinley doing soccer. They love 'Kids Love Soccer'. This has been a great experience for them to run around, learn new skills and meet for kids. They love all their friends in all of there many activities. Go Girls!

2008-11-05T16:53:00.000-08:00

Graham starting young as his future as a surgeon. He wants to cut up body and fix them. He has always loved bones and the human make-up. We will see what the future holds. DR. GRAHAM MYERS I like the sound of that.

2008-11-05T16:48:00.000-08:00

We did lots and lots of swimming this summer. We were living with Grammy and Papa all summer while we remodeled our house. We love the water and playing with Papa in the pool.

2008-11-05T16:46:00.000-08:00

CUTE GIRLS! That is all I have to say about that!

2008-11-05T16:41:00.000-08:00

Jalen and Brinley's first day of school. Jalen is now 5 and will be entering kindergarten next fall. She is loving pre-school and making losts of new friends. She is writing and starting to read. She loves her teachers and friends. Brinley is 4 and going to pre-school at San Ramon High School. She loves it there. She is the big girl on campus. Students at SR all seem to know her as I walk her into or pick her up from class. She is VERY social. She loves to do homework. We call her Miss Wall Street.

2008-11-05T16:37:00.000-08:00

Keaton loves push up pops! Yummy! She is 20 months now. She is going on 5. She thinks she can do everything the big kids do. But, really she can do most things. She is keeping up with the big kids very well. I can;t believe she is growing up so fast.

2008-11-05T16:34:00.000-08:00

Graham is in First grade this year at Montair. It is a great school. He loves to go to school. He is very social and loves his school and teacher, Mrs. Murphy.

2008-11-05T16:30:00.000-08:00

This was our beach house in San Diego. We had a very relaxing time here. The hot tub was great. We could walk out our front door and be right on the beach. The kids love the sand and beach. Thanks to Grammy and Papa for taking us along with them.

2008-11-05T16:25:00.000-08:00

Lego Land 2008
We had a great time driving firetrucks, shoot waterguns, building legos and being a treasure hunter in Indian Jones. We also learned fire safety with a fun active show. This was a great trip.

House Update May

2008-05-25T22:22:00.000-07:00

Things are moving along with the house. The girls are excited to be upstairs. I look forward to the upstairs to have peace from the drama babes. They are working the model runway on the staircase. Just a glimpse of the future. More pictures to come...

House DEMO!

2008-04-27T19:44:00.000-07:00

If you don't know we are doing a big remodel project. The house has been torn down leaving the outside walls and maybe 3-4 walls inside. They have poured the foundation which was a major deal and now they are building it back again. We are out of the house obviously and in with the in-laws in Alamo. Thank goodness for them offering there home so we could do this project. We started on March 31. Things are going good. We look forward to the end result. I guess this years July 4th party will probably be out. But, we will keep you posted. More pictures to come as the house progresses.

It should be quite the adventure.

First Ski Trip

Brinley with Aunt Kiki skiing at northstar.
Brinley, Graham and Jalen each skied for the first
time during the christmas break. They loved it!
Brinley skied with me and wanted to do it
"all by myself", "faster, faster mom!"
Keaton wanted in on the fun too, but she is still
alittle to small.

Sister's Forever!

2007-11-08T17:07:00.000-08:00

Mustand Soocer Fun!

2007-11-08T16:59:00.000-08:00

Graham had a great soocer season this year. He was on the Stompers. He loved chasing everyone around, not necessarily going for the ball just attacking the clump of players. He was very enthusiastic when his teammates scored goals. Jeff was the assistant coach. They had a great time together and Jeff learned alot about soccer and 6 year old boys! GO STOMPERS!
