No wigglies yet, but hopefully this year he will lose his first tooth!

This last year Austin started Pre-K at Action Day Primary Plus.  He graduated with flying colors!

First Day

 

 

Graduation

 

 

 In the fall he played soccer there on the Fire Sharks!  In the Spring he played his first year of T-ball and LOVED it! 

 

 

He was on the Texas Rangers with his buddies Luke and Emilio.

We celebrated his birthday this year by going to the Giants vs. Braves game. 

 

Austin is either the sweetest little boy on the planet or an absolute terrorist.  He can be painfully shy and overly confident.  There is no in between.  Its all or nothing.  He keeps us on our toes and there is never a dull moment in this house.  We love the way his Moose personality bursts from every ounce of him and wouldn't change a thing.

In the next year he is looking forward to swimming at the new house and Kindergarten! 

Cheyanne 8yrs Old!

62.1lbs (69%)
4ft 2.5in (53.85%)

In the last year she has gained 5.4lbs and grown 1.5 inches. 
She has also lost 2 baby teeth!

Based on her weight and height today she is predicted to be 5'5.5".

In the last year she played Campbell Girls Fast Pitch Fall Ball and Spring Ball. 

 

In the fall she was on the Red Volcanos.  In the spring she was on the Mustangs.  The mustangs came back from last place to win it all in the championship game ON HER BIRTHDAY! 

 

 

 

She also trained to run a 5k with the Forest Hill Girls On The Run team.  I got to see how hard she worked as the only 2nd grader on the team because I was an assistant coach.  She trained her butt off, but unfortunately on race day she spiked a 102.5 fever and couldn't run! 

 

 

 

We celebrated her 8th birthday by going to Alcatraz and spending a day in the city.

 

 

 

She is at a 5th grade reading level and loves books.  She gets mostly 5's on her report cards and a few 4's.  (5=A 4=B 3=C etc).  She is too smart for her own good, sensitive, helpful and funny.

Sal Turns 30! (finally)

Yep.  The youngin is finally crossed over to the dark side.  We celebrated as a family at Sushi and cupcakes at home.

Sal and I also celebrated (sans kids) at Garrod Farms with an hour long horse back ride.  His first time ever!!  He had the BIGGEST horse on the ranch named Nicola.  I had Burk the most ADD, lazy horse ever.  He even faked a trip when we were 'galloping'.  He was very sweet though :)

 Then we had lunch in Los Gatos at Palacio.  It is a new restaurant.  We had the place to ourselves and the food was FANTASTIC. 

It was a mellow and easy going way to ring in the big 3-0.  Hopefully it was what he wanted.

Nathan Turns 7!

This year for Nathan's 'family party' on January 1, we held it at Chuck E. Cheese. The kids were happy to have their family there to play and it was EASY for Sal and me.

Next we had a 'friend party' on Janurary 25 at Pump It Up.  He chose a glow party package.  All the lights were turned out and all kids were given a glow necklace.  Jumping in the dark is a whole new experience! Lots of fun when you aren't crashing into people because you can't see.

The Pre-Party Crew. Shy, Austin, Nathan and Finn

He was excited to climb the rock wall, even though this picture doesn't show it.

This was all lit up and glowing like crazy.  The camera couldn't capture it.
It was really neat!

Nathan, Dad, Brock
