Wow.  Okay.  So.  I don't even know where to begin.  It has been a loooonnnnggg time since I posted anything!!!  So I am just going to start posting like I never stopped.  Okay with you?  I hope so!! 
So the past three weeks we have had soccer everyday - Sunday thru Saturday.  Drew and Tyler made the AYSO All Star teams.  The are selected by their Fall soccer coaches and get to play in a tournament made up of other AYSO region teams.  Bryan has been practicing with the club team Strikers.  The coach must have liked what he saw because he invited Bryan to play in their World Cup Tourney with them.  We didn't get to see Bryan play - but we heard he did AMAZING!!!  (Chad was out of town on business and I had four other soccer games already planned.)  The team has made it to the next round - in San Diego. 

Here are some pictures of the kids playing soccer -from Fall to now.

We arrived in Montana

We arrived in Montana!  Our first stop was the Mustard Seed...if you haven't eaten there, you should.  It is one of Chad and I's favorites.  We had dinner with Nana and Papa and LOTS of cousins.  


After dinner we drove down to Hamilton to see Nana and Papa's house.  It is the same house that Nana grew up in so the kids were very excited about that!  They even got to sleep in her room that she use to sleep in.  How cool is that?  
Cousin CJ's new beetle!  See Drew waving? Her kids Ashley and Cody are sitting in the back.  Cody and Bryan were fast friends - they spell trouble with a capital T together.  Ashley told her Mom that "Tyler was her new best friend".   Family....there is nothing better!

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th if July is one if my favorite holidays.  I love the colors red, white and blue!  I start shopping for our outfits in March!  Yep, 4th attire and Christmas attire - I love shopping and planning for pictures.  
This 4th of July was our first 4th in our new home in California.  Our little community has a bike parade for the kids - it was so cute.  The kids had a lot of fun decorating their bikes and scooters.  After the parade we headed home to cool off in our own pool.  Ahhhhhhh - refreshing!  We hung out in our pool and BBQ'd all day.  In the evening, we walked down to our park and let the kids run around with friends.  Then we watched fireworks from our park's view.  Kennedy tried to stay awake.  Our little firecracker fell asleep at 8:55 - fireworks started at 9:05.  I asked her this morning if she saw fireworks - her response, (in a sad voice) "I saw one, not very many".

At the beach - in November!

 Life is sure better at the beach.  Living 20 minutes from the beach isn't to bad either.  Now that the sun sets at 6:00 pm it is easy to catch a sunset on the Pacific Ocean also. 




 My mom came and visited us at the end of October/early November.  She loves going to the beach when she comes and visits.  There is something about the ocean breeze and salt water that cures everything!  My kids don't even fight when we are there. 

The Holidays are right around the corner....

Halloween is over and Christmas has already taken over the stores.  Poor Thanksgiving, it never gets a proper welcome.  We are going to Brian Barry's house, in Newport Beach, this Thanksgiving and we couldn't be more excited!  We will get to introduce the kids to Chad's Aunt and Uncle - Diane and Art Barry - and more cousins.  Chad and the boys can't wait for turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes - I think I am hungry!  We hope y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving - give hugs and THANKS to all those you love. 


 My precious lil' Cinderella. 
 Peter Pan - orange hair and all!!
 Drew is the cutest dead pirate!
 Don't mess with Captain Hook!!!

Salmon Pictures from Alaska

 We are eating lots of salmon in our house.  It tastes so much better coming off of Chad's fly rod than Albertson's. 

 I don't think Chad ever stopped smiling in Alaska.
