Girl Scout Cookie Time

Yes it is that time of year again to start thinking of what cookies you want to buy from the Girl Scout . Scarlett is a Brownie this year and is very excited to be selling cookies. Pre orders start January 24th so if you are interested please contact me at smpax@netzero.net on or after January 24th. She is so cute she thought she was making them all for everyone.

Newport Marriott

So my grandparents have this time share that they had booked and were unable to use the entire time it was booked for. I volunteered to go and stay for the time they couldn't. The kids and Marcus and I packed up the Friday before Christmas and drove to Newport Beach (10 minutes from our house) and stayed at the time share. It was so much fun and sooo nice. We had some problems with the reservations, but all worked out and we stayed Friday till Tuesday night when my Grandparents arrived. Let me tell you they had a bath tub that was huge I was able to fill it up and the water went up to my neck and didn't go out the overflow thing. It was great. I told Marcus I want one for my house!! We did come home everyday to get things done for Christmas, but it was fun and the kids loved it. They always love staying in a hotel! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa and The Jolley's

Poetry and Pumpkin Pie

The week before Thanksgiving the 3rd grader do a program called Poetry and Pumpkin Pie. They learn some songs and perform it for the parents. After all the third graders preform they divide into their individual classes and recite the poem that they memorized for the parents. Kevin did Shell Sylversteins "I am being Eaten by a Boa Constrictor". Unfortunantly the performance was the same day as Adele's funeral and I was unable to do both. So Marcus went to the preformance and took a couple of pictures for me. He said Kevin did awesome!

Isaac's Birthday Party at Disneyland

Before Thanksgiving Laura and I decided to take the kids to Disneyland to celebrate Isaac's 10th birthday and her son Luke's 4th birthday. We thought with Thanksgiving and all it is easy to over look there birthdays. We had a lot of fun and we all got to decorate and eat our own cake. (I changed the batteries in my camera and didn't reset the date so don't pay attention to that)

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving this year was at our house with my family the Davey's. We had 19 people schuduled to come and at the last minute my Mom and Aunt Keri were sick. We missed them, but still had a full house and a lot of fun. We had three tables set up in our house (becuase it decided to rain the one weekend I wanted to eat outside) plus a food table. It was crowded, but I think we made it work. We had a lot of fun and I love hosting everyone at my house. Hopefully one day soon I will have a house to do it at!!!!
**Thanks Brittany for the pictures I some how forgot to take some!!
