Crashing in on the Danon's

Our hosts who invited us to stay the night with them at La Costa Resort, we couldn't pass that up!

A little river kept them busy at the gardens

The lovefest

At the top of the waterslide tower, Shane was the only one who was tall enough for the big slide

The sunshine felt so nice

Thanks for all the great laughs Jaime and Saar

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving down in San Diego

We met up with Isabell and Clark at the park a few hours early

Working up their appetites before the turkey dinner

Love You

Red Devils last game- What a great group of kids

The moms rocked on this team, we never wanted to leave the games or practices

The game truck came to our Team Party- The boys died and went to heaven

Hailey gaming

The soccer party ended 6 hours later and no one wanted to leave

Beach Ride

I took both kids for their first time together on a "real" bike ride. I wore rollerblades and we ended up going 4 miles. The best part was that they have the same size bike so Shane and Hailey go about the same speed. Hailey sure has the drive to keep up!

A scary picture, those 2 should not ride side by side

4 miles later, the happy duo. I think Shane is due for a new bike.

Who turned 35?

It's hard to tell by the cake but it's .........

Jesse! Happy Birthday Jesse, I made it into the group picture too, see if you can find me in it.

Famous Butt

A big group of us went to the beach after school to enjoy the wonderful beach weather. As we were sitting there, a guy from the local paper wanted to know if he could take some picture of the kids. The next morning my dad called to see if Shane had gone to the beach and if he wore blue boardshorts. The front page of the Daily Breeze has Shane's butt and some of his buddies jumping. It was perfect, each of the families that went to the beach had at least one child in the picture!

Thankful for

At Hailey's school the kids each got a turn to say what they are thankful for. The teacher wrote down what each kid said. Every kid said either their mom or dad except for Hailey who said- Shane. Apparently she talks about him at school a lot.

El Capitain Theatre

Shane and Spencer in Hollywood for their first ever 4-D movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas. His friend had a Bday party at the theatre and we didn't get home till 9pm......

Shane and I came home to a huge party at our house, Jesse had called all the dads and siblings who ended up staying till midnight- this has become an ongoing thing with this group of friends.

Halloween +

Some of our Halloween Festivities in the past week

A little Pumpkin Carving Party, Shane didn't like touching the guts of the pumpkin but Hailey didn't mind

Luigi, Yoshi and Mario -The obsessed Mario Bros group

Our Trick-o-Treating guys group-The Situation, Tiger Woods, Steven Slater and a Rock Star

The kids ready for their first house

Us in front of the Haunted House. The neighbors put together an amazing Haunted House and let everyone go through it. It was quite the production. Hailey said as we got out of it, "Lets not do that again." Shane went through it again. It was our best night of Trick-o-Treating, the houses were to the hilt, and the company was as always, entertaining. The adults may have had more fun than the kids!
