Happy New Year!

First we decorated the tree at home. We set up the tree and the boys hung every ornament! It was fun to watch. Then we packed up and headed to the beach for Christmas. We spent a few days at the beach with cousin Carlee, uncle Chad and Aunt Holly. They were here all the way from Alaska! We spent some rainy days at the beach doing puzzles and playing, but we got some nice beach days in too and had a drizzly trip to the redwoods. The kids loved every second with sweet Carlee! And we had some pleasure point pizza...yum!

The Big 6!

What an amazing human our little Brock is! Sweet, smart and intense as ever! You keep us on our toes little man and we love you like crazy!
We partied in his class, he took his best bud Ray to high ballacity, and we had a little dinner with friends to ring in year 6. Brock with his shark blimp from Nana! New trick at the pool. Huge duplo tower.

Thanksgiving

So much to be thankful for... Friends, family, health, and the beach! The best place on earth! We all got our fix of surf and sand.

Halloween

Brock told me, 'I want to be a vampire at school and a storm trooper for the real'
We went trick or treating with Brock's friend Ray from school
Theo LOVED trick or treating. In between houses he would say 'let's go to the next Halloween'! Theo can survive on nothing but candy for days... It is disgusting!

Reading!

Watching Brock learn in Kindergarten has been an absolute joy! I am so proud of my boy. So far this school year: - Brock is reading! - He joined the '100' club at school by counting to 100 - He was recognized as Student of the Week a couple weeks ago! They call it the Friday Call - because they call mom or dad to tell them the good news :) - Here is a quote from his teacher, "I just love the level of excited commitment he has to learning. Isn't it great?" - yes, it is! - He has a sweet best friend named Ray - We are meeting friends in our neighborhood and feel very much a part of the Peavine community which is an awesome school. - We are doing our homework every night and learning so much from Brock's teacher - this woman is as good as they get! We feel so blessed that this transition has gone so smoothly. Oh, and did we mention that Theo too has to do his 'homework' every night and is even 'reading' Brock's books. See the sweet video below. Fun all around!

Cabin

I'd say there is a good chance our children are spoiled with fun!

Balloon Races

Even made it to the glow show!
