Future Day 2009

Joseph & Madison's school had an activity called Future Day. It's where the kids go to school where they dress up like whatever they want to be when they grow up. Joe & Maddie loved it!!!

Newport Beach

Easter

Evelyn was really into Easter eggs hunting this year! She loved finding eggs. For a couple days after we were having to drop her plastic eggs all over the house and let her pick them back up. She was addicted =) Joseph and Madison also had a great time and loved their gifts from the Easter Bunny.

St. Patrick's Day

My Irish babies had a great time again this year!! They dressed up for school and then came home and had a wonderful dinner of corned beef, beer braised cabbage, garlic red mashed potatoes and Irish soda bread. It was wonderful!!!

Evelyn and Food

One evening while I was at school, Evelyn was so tired she fell asleep in her food. Steve took this picture and showed me as soon as I got home...LOL =) She also recently tried pizza for the first time and fell in love!

Joseph decides to be a mechanic...LOL

My dad recently helped complete quite a bit of maintenance to our cars. Joseph decided to be a junior mechanic and help out Pop. It was so cute, I couldn't help but take many pictures.

I love these type of pictures!

Maddie gets 2 awards =)

Maddie recently received two awards at school. The first on is for PE Student of the Month and the other is the Gold Medal Award in reading. She received the PE award because she's awesome according to her PE teachers. They say she is always participating without ever complaining. At home, we call her either "Legs" or "Forest Gump" because she is always running...LOL! Her Gold Medal is because she reads at an extremely high advanced level for her grade requirements. We're so proud!!!

A day at the park

Joseph wins 2nd Place!

Joseph entered the school's science fair and won 2nd place overall. Each teacher was permitted to select finalists from their class. After becoming a finalist they move onto the school fair for judging. Today it was announced that Joseph had won 2nd place for the school wide science fair. Unfortunately, he won't be moving on to the District science fair (only 1st place gets to compete at district). Regardless, we are still very proud of our scientist!!!!

Back to School.....for Jeannette =)

I have decided that it's time to finish my degree. As some of you may know I was going to school when I found out that I was pregnant with Evelyn. I had to stop going around my 3rd month of pregnancy due to excessive morning sickness and have been off since. Well with the down turn in our economy and the fact that my career field is basically non-existent now; I have decided to get my RN. After high school I was supposed to go to college in LA as a Pre-Med student but took some time off instead....well we all know how that story goes (Steve, Joe, Maddie & Evelyn) and I wouldn't change it but it's time to finish =)

Anyway, so I'm starting with getting my RN and may possibly continue on to Medical school. We'll see where life takes me and how much my husband, kids & babysitters can tolerate...LOL! Thanks to everyone for their wonderful support...it means a lot to me!!!

Happy Birthday Evie!!!

On Saturday, January 1oth we celebrated Evelyn's 1st birthday =) It was a wonderful day spent celebrating with family and friends. We had a barbecue of hamburgers and hot dogs, cake and pinata fun for the kids.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday!!!

Snow Day 08'

I know what you're thinking....No way did it snow in Hemet?! You'd be right too if that was your train of thought...this year so far anyway. However it did snow at my brother's house in Victorville along with many of my other family members getting almost 2 feet of the white stuff!!! We spent the weekend in Victorville to celebrate Christmas with my dad's family and to let the kids play a bit. We'll be doing some serious playing in the snow this weekend as well and will post more pictures later.

Vikings finish 3rd overall

Joseph's football team lost their playoff game with a final score of 12-6. The boys were crushed however we are so proud of them all for playing with all their hearts the whole season through. They lived, ate, breathed & even dreamed football (the dreaming was per coach's orders...lol)!!! The Vikings finished strong with 3rd place in their division=)

VIKINGS WIN!!!

In an amazing upset the Vikings (Joseph's team) won the Raiders 18-7 and became the 3rd team in a 3 way tie for 1st place in the division!!! Playoffs here we come =) The kids played their hearts out today and used every skill, play and trick they have learned over the last two months. It payed off big time too! Even if they lose in the first round of the playoffs we could not be more proud of Joseph & his teammates. However, we plan on going all the way to CHAMPIONSHIPS! Wish us luck and check back some time next week to see how the first round went.

She Walks!!!

At nearly 11 months old Evelyn walked today! She took 3 steps unassisted and had perfect balance. It was particularly special because Steve had just got home from work and she walked over to say hello to him=) We know it wasn't a fluke because just a minute later she took 2-3 more steps to get to me. Now it is just a matter of convincing her that she can do it all of the time. However, I don't think it will take long since I put up my Christmas tree yesterday! Hopefully we'll be able to post a video soon.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

OK......so let's play catch up once again. Joseph unfortunately lost his bid for Historian =( However, he is still singing in the school choir and playing flag football 5 days a week. His team is currently 6-1.

The girls are doing great! Evelyn has cut her 5th tooth and is about to walk any day now. Madison is doing wonderful in school. She received Student of the Month on October 31st.

I am still looking for work but am enjoying my time as a stay at home mommy. Steve is working, of course, but is trying to get more fishing in on his days off. Well, that's about all for now but I promise to try to post at least two times a month.
