Take Time To Remember

Even when a person leaves this earth the memories remain.

IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER!!

Sometimes in life we need to step back and take a look back at where we came from in order to get where we want to be.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Emily and Aiden have enjoyed playing outside in the leaves. They have made many piles to lay in and courses and obstacles for us to go through. They had fun setting up a pretend turkey dinner outside. They love the play house which is a diner at the moment. We hope everyone had a great Thanks Giving! We are sorry we were not able to visit with anyone due to Ben being so sick. Hopefully we will all be well for Christmas!!

Rocky Cola

The youngest gardener!!

Emily loves helping daddy do yard work.

Thank You Jalyn !!

Courtney had her friend Jalyn spend the night on Friday. When Courtney left for her class Jalyn made cookies with her. Emily had so much fun!! So did Jalyn.

Off to school we go

Aiden and Emily stop for a quick rest before Aiden has to go inside.

Homework Help

After having dinner on Sunday evening with his Aunt Denise and Aunt Vilia, Aiden got some friendly homework help from his Aunt Denise. Aiden enjoys doing homework with his Aunt Denise!!

Courtney-Community Service

Courtney did her first couple of hours of community service today at Learning Stars Preschool. Emily was very excited to have her big sister in her class today. Aiden is going to the preschool after he gets out of his kindergarden class at 12:30. He enjoys going and seeing his old friends and has made some new ones. The school helps Aiden with his homework and allows Aiden to play hard for a couple hours which is nice, then he can come home and relax eat and go to sleep.

Mom, Dad, and Trader Joes

Mom and dad stop for a picture with a very friendly lady at Trader Joes in La Canada. We are on mission to fiend a new tasty coffee and a refreshing tidbit for breakfast. This lady always has great ideas. If you ever want something new go there she is a sweetheart.

School Pictures

It is so much fun seeing all the kids growing up!! We are still waiting for Emily to take pictures for school, but as soon as we have them everyone will see.

Bye Bye Hair

Mom has lost her hair again. Well it has been a couple of weeks now and it is returning but I keep having to explain to Emily and Aiden what is going on, and it is hard. They don't understand what is going, and well I don't either. Aiden keeps saying it is because mommy hurt her back. The test have been redone so we'll know sooner or later.

Picture Fun

These are just some silly picture of mom and the kids having fun taking pictures together and being silly. It is nice to be able to just hang out with them and goof off. Everybody is so busy these days it makes it hard sometimes..

Aiden and Mr. Fuzzy

Aiden got to bring home Mr. Fuzzy the class bear. He took him to see Aunt Denise, and told him all about Halloween. Aiden fell asleep at the table with Mr. Fuzzy while having desert. Aiden was very happy to have Mr. Fuzzy come home with him, and can't wait for the chance to bring him home again and go on more adventures.

Emily is ready for school

Emily loves the friends in her morning class and the teacher. She doesn't have breakfast at home except for Sat. and Sunday because she like to eat with her school friends and do art in the morning. Dad and mom are amazed everyday how much these kids grow. It's is absolutely amazing how independent Emily is. She is four years old and very set in her ways.






With her brush and sunglasses in one hand and banana in the other Emily is ready to go to school.

Courtney Doing What She Loves

Courtney got her first head shots done a few weeks ago. They look Great!
She got to audition for some talent agents and did great! She is wanted for film and print which is what she was hoping for. Of course mom and dad knew she would get both. It is not like she could ever take a bad picture.

The Ranch Job

Mom realizes that there a certain risks that come with dads job, she just never realized really how dangerous it could be. Everything just seems so much bigger out there in the country. Dad was even a bit nervous about going up as high as he did with no safety gear. He couldn't remember the last time he had to take apart or put together scaffolding, in moms opinion this was not the time to try and remember how to do it.. This barn is enormous and we are without cell phone reception.. Was mom nervous?? Ummm I think so!















































Anyone need a battery?? That is a lot of batteries!!

Station Fire Adventure Continued

All of these photos show Aiden and Emily exploring the ranch where daddy had work, and all the wonders provided by nature.






It shows what tends to happen with animals when our darling daughter Emily tries to interact with them. What does it mean when you end up surrounded by cows? Ben and myself have been around many animals, been on more than one ranch and have never experienced anything like this before. Emily truly loves animals and is very good with them, but they don't seem to feel the same way about her..
Emily and Aiden were occupied for a couple hours just trying to catch a bunny. There we bunnies all over the place. It was pretty amazing to watch them hopping in and out of the tunnels they had made. Mom tried to get pictures of them but again Emily as an effect on animals that made it impossible. We do hope to be able to go back up to the ranch and visit the animals again. It was a lot of fun.




The kids did get to explore the different types of equipment on the farm which Aiden absolutely LOVED. He found the keys right away. He had no problems turning everything on.. He was so excited to be able to turn them on it was funny. He kept saying it was like a big toy store.


It was a lot of fun to watch him. It was good for mom to because she was worried about dad, who had to work on the giant barn. Dad was so high up it was making mom nauseous just looking up at him.

Happy Halloween!!

Aiden and Emily had lots of fun getting ready for Halloween. While Emily enjoyed decorating the windows and porch, Aiden enjoyed playing with the decorations and costumes. He enjoyed running around in the clown mask trying to scare Courtney who is scared of clowns.
