Zach is ready to head off on a field trip to the Living History Museum. They have to dress the part and will spend the day doing things the way they were done back in the 1800's. His lunch is packed in a tin pail and he is ready to go! You have to love those freckles! 3-31-09
Tired and worn out, these shoes are Tanner's favorite! I hide them in the closet and he always seems to find them. I don't dare throw them away for fear of the backlash. 3-29-09
I am biased, but these are two good looking guys! (and you can't tell that they are related can you?) This is the winning coach from the baseball game last night! 3-27-09
Zach pitched the first inning of his game and did a great job. He had one strike out and the coach didn't have to come out for "coach pitch" (this happens after 4 balls are thrown to the batter, in the Minor division there are no "walks") He might just be our first lefty pitcher! Great Job Z Man!
The Giants pulled out their first win of the season last night 14-6 against the Padres. Riley played a great game including a triple with 2 RBI's and a diving block at short stop. He was the game MVP and received the game ball. 3-26-09
Report cards arrived! T&T both have a challenging line-up of classes this year and are doing very well. Whitney is a tough High School,they really push these kids to reach their potential. We are proud! 3-24-09
This pretty much sums it up! This is the wall in our laundry room. A gentle reminder that even the mundane and never ending tasks are important, right? 3-23-09
Mixed emotions! The first is a photo taken from a window in the front of the house and the second is a photo taken from a window in the back of the house only seconds apart. The weather can't decide what it wants to do. 3-22-09
Rocklin High School is playing tonight for the California State Basketball Championship. Although the boys don't attend this High School, we have many friends that do and know many of the players on the team. As the boys grew up, Rocklin was the High School they would have attended but with the growth of Rocklin and our move a couple of years ago, they now attend Whitney High School, which we LOVE! The streets of Rocklin will be empty tonight. We will all be at ARCO arena to cheer them on. It's great to see a community come together like this. Although you won't catch Tanner wearing blue, he said that he will sport the color white, and leave his Whitney gear at home :)! Here is a clip from the news yesterday!
Tonight is a night you will hear us all chant "GO THUNDER!"
This chair is the favorite place to be in the family room. It is so cozy and comfortable and easy to fall asleep in. Zach seems to make his way there every night and I would say falls asleep about 90% of the time. We take him upstairs to bed every night and each morning he asks "Did I fall asleep downstairs last night?" Ya buddy, like you do every night. I am not sure why it surprises him every morning! 3-19-09
After a heart-breaking loss to the Red Sox in tonights baseball game, Riley is trying to finish up homework and get to bed. They played great baseball tonight! 3-18-09
"What do you want to be when you grow up" was the theme for Pack Meeting last night. Every station was Zach's favorite. He especially enjoyed the Chiropractic demo mostly because he enjoyed having his back massaged. 3-17-09
I LOVE my iphone! It keeps track of me! I love that I can answer email, check Facebook or read the news while out and running around/waiting for the kids. Although I sometimes wonder, has technology really made life easier or has it just allowed us to fill our days with more events? And does this really make things better or have we lost the "down" time that we used to enjoy? 3-16-09
