Daddy was able to get off for a few minutes to bring Sadie into her first day. She barely looked back at us, she was so excited. She has lots of sweet friends in her class, a few from her preschool and I am sure she will be friends with everyone in the class in no time at all.<br />

We love camping next to the beach where we can go play in the sand whenever we want. This camp site happened to be really windy, so we were very happy to have the trailer.</div>

One great thing about the kids getting older is they are getting better and more involved in their sports. And with basketball, I am lucky enough to be their coach! </div>

This year they were on different teams, since Julie is in an older division now. They both missed the first part of the season thanks to their injuries. But when they got back on the court, they did great. Julie is really getting to be a great ball handler and her defense, as always, is her strong suit. The girls team was so much fun. They were sassy, but very fun and loving.<br />

I really lucked out on both my teams this year and am so proud of my big kids for being examples to their teammates and for having a great attitude even though they didn't get to play the whole season.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995912993252958684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519274595871058299.post-87859184950411881202016-03-01T21:41:00.000-08:002016-03-09T21:41:30.048-08:00Hair Cut!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you remember, Julie cut her hair and donated it a year and a half ago. Sadie all of a sudden started talking about how Sissy did that and how she wanted to be like her. I didn't believe her at first because she talks a lot about cutting her hair but always changes her mind at the last minute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But this time it stuck and she wanted to cut her hair and donate it. So we did!! It was so long and so hard to keep up with. The lady who cut her hair was so sweet to her and even got a little teared up when we were all done. </div>

Sadie LOVES her new do. She loves being able to brush her own hair and not needing to have it braided and de-tangled every day. She loves that she has hair like Sissy now! She looks so much older, like a totally different kid. But we all love it and think it suits our big girl!<br />

Whelp, it happened, we had our first broken bone. Julie won the award by fracturing her wrist on December 15th. She was such a trouper and was mostly upset she was late for school! Since it was her right wrist, we were lucky she only had a few days of school before break. Writing was a little difficult with her bright orange cast!</div>

Not to be outdone, right after Christmas Andy fell off the top bunk and broke his collar bone! I know! These two. Andy had a slightly harder time getting used to the sling. He had to sleep sitting up and since it wasn't protected like Julie's cast, he had to be really careful about bumping it. And about getting hugs.<br />

But, being the amazing healthy kids that they are, they both healed wonderfully. Julie got her cast off 6 weeks after injury. Andy was able to stop wearing his sling after 5 weeks then could be back to his silly, wild self after another 2. Both were very happy to have both arms back!Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995912993252958684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519274595871058299.post-46978653029813913132016-02-02T21:28:00.000-08:002016-03-09T21:28:35.283-08:00Julie Turns 9<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is so cool that as the kids get older, they can not only tell you what they want for their birthday parties, but they can also arrange them themselves! This year Julie told us exactly what she wanted. Friends for pedicures, dinner and a slumber party. She picked the friends, made the invitations and arranged everything.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And, as an added bonus, she has some pretty sweet friends. I had a blast chaperoning these girls to the pedi's. They were nothing but manners and giggles the whole time.</div>

Every day we are so proud of our big girl. She makes us laugh, makes us question and makes us better people. She has a heart of gold mixed with a little sass. We love you Julie Bess!<br />

This month John and I celebrated 15 years together! The view across the table has changed a little since our first date 15 years ago. 3 more smiling, goofy faces! And a man more handsome than the day we met. I love this view. </div>

Holy moly was this Christmas a whirlwind!! With the kids getting older, each event is more fun. We are able to just hop in the car and do things on a whim. But, a lot of times, when we get places, they find friends and off they go. Its amazingly cool, and a little sad. But mostly great. </div>

We did get to see Santa at my work one night. Sadie insisted she wasn't going to cry. When we got up there, she did so good. She spoke to him and told him exactly what she wanted. She didn't get much choice on sitting on is lap because he just scooped her on up!</div>

We did the Margarita tree lighting as always with the Hammers. It is one of my favorite events, even though this year there was no soup. But we ended up with sushi, so we really can't complain.<br />

There was a lot of sitting around, enjoying our new home. It really does well with a tree in the living room. John also outdid himself on the outside, but of course, pictures can not do it justice.<br />

Especially the bunnies Santa brought them. Sadie named hers "Charlie Brown Snowball." Julie's is "Colors" and Andy's is "Snoopy." They are great fun and have a nice little home in the living room. They might be a bit spoiled.<br />

This year we had some extra visitors! Cousins Lauren and Jemma were here for Christmas! Of course with Justin and Audrey too. They came in on Christmas night. We had all the family over for dinner. But I was cooking, talking, eating, so I didn't get any pictures. Darn! But it was wonderful having our home filled with family for the holidays.<br />

For Sadie's 4th birthday, we had a big party at our house. It was the first big bash we have thrown in the new place. I have to admit, I was more than a little bummed when it rained most of the day. But, we are fortunate our house can handle a bunch of people!</div>

On her actual birthday, we took her and the big kids out of donuts before school. The loved the treat and Sadie thought the milk was "so cute and tiny!" Of course she looked pretty cute in her princess dress and crown (yes, these pictures were 2 days apart, but her dress was washed in between, at night when she was asleep).<br />

It worked out that night too to take them all to see the new Peanuts movie. She kept telling people she was going to the movies for her birthday, and it just happened to work out, spur of the moment. Good call, Sadie!<br />

Our Halloween was pretty quiet this year. It started out how it does every year, with the annual Cut 'n Gut with Chris and Kayla. Every year gets a little more fun as the kids can actually carve pumpkins, come up with designs and do it themselves. This year was super fun and messy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We dressed up for the big kids Halloween Dance. It is my favorite school function and this year we closed the joint down! And not just because we were on the clean up crew.</div>

We had one cute little owl. She looked at a ton of costumes, but decided all she wanted was to wear this one Memere had gotten her a few years before.</div>

I had made Julie a different costume, but at the last minute she decided she wanted to be a rock star. She put the costume together mostly on her own and I think it came out awesome!<br />

On Halloween, the kids did a little trick or treating, but ultimately decided that handing out candy was way more fun. So we sat on the porch while they handed out candy to all their neighborhood friends. It was a great night. After we ran out of candy, we snuggled into our bed and watched Charlie Brown's The Great Pumpkin. Couldn't ask for a better end to the night!Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12995912993252958684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519274595871058299.post-54151339423621001152015-10-19T21:12:00.000-07:002015-10-19T21:12:40.667-07:00Vegas Baby!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

We had a blast walking all over the town, exploring the casinos, window shopping, and of course, eating! The people watching was pretty awesome too. We hung out by the pool too, chatted and read. It was wonderful.<br />

The kids didn't have school on Monday, so we decided that it was the perfect time for a little family get away! We drove up to Monterey after a full weekend of soccer, basketball and a half marathon (for mom and dad). We stayed at a cute little hotel within walking distance of everything!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We went to a delicious breakfast place that had HUGE pancakes!! The kids shared this chocolate chip one. I helped them out quite a bit, but we still didn't make a dent in it!</div>

When we got to the aquarium, Sadie was anxious to see some sharks. But she was happy with the sardines while we made our way over to the deep tank.<br />

The jelly fish were pretty awesome. We had not been to the aquarium since Sadie was about 3 months old, so it was all new to her. And the big kids were happy to show her around.<br />

The wave tank was a huge hit. All three kids loved hanging out in there. We finally had to drag them out so other families could have a turn.<br />

After the aquarium, we walked down to Dennis the Menace park and played til I thought Sadie would pass out from exhaustion. She is determined to keep up at all times. We walked a total of 9.5 miles each on Monday. Even Sadie. It was such an adventure walking all over a new city. </div>

He got lots and lots of love from his sisters. They even picked out a very special gift for him, a Pokemon binder to keep his cards in. Julie thought of it all by herself.<br />

Julie has Mrs. Teel again this year for 3rd grade. She was ecstatic when we found out. Andy has a sweet new teacher names Miss Eddy for 2nd grade. She is young, energetic, and he has a sweet crush on her. Sadie just started Pre-K with Miss Kegan and Miss Jenna. Both teachers that the big kids had.<br />

So, this should be about 50 posts. But, last weekend, while we were out hiking, my car was broken into and my phone (along with my purse) was stolen. My phone had so many pictures on it. It makes me really sad to loose them all. But luckily, I had uploaded some photos to Facebook, so I was able to get some off there. So instead of major stories, I have snapshots of the summer.</div>
