"The Bat Cave"

Every year Bryan's mom goes all out and creates a "Bat Cave" for the grandchildren to explore during the Halloween Party. There always happens to be someone super creepy hiding out to scare you, and she makes the kids stick their hands in all sorts of concoctions. They absolutely love it!!! Not to mention the Halloween Bingo. ( I loved it too! I won the $5.00 prize ) Thanks Grandma and Grandpa we love you!!

5K

Last Saturday I ran in a 5K with my sister Maria. We had a good time, but I think we are in need of a little more training for next year :) Before the race all ready to go...

After the race, yes we were as tired as we look.

San Diego 2008

Our last summer swim!!

My cute sister-in-law has a pool and is really great to let us come over and swim. This is a picture of the girls with their cousins.

The girls first day of school!!

Here we go again.....I think the first day of school every year brings me to tears. It's always hard for me to let the girls go, especially since they are all in a full day of school. They were super excited to start at their new school "Roosevelt Elementary". This is actually the elementary school that Bryan went to. I think part of him was happy that they were following in his footsteps...GO ROOSEVELT RAPTORS. When we picked them up afterwards Madi told us that she only made 10 friends and then gave us a huge grin. Brooklyn was passing out my cell phone number to everyone in sight (she claimed they were all her new friends). Kelsie loves 6th grade and gets to go across the street to the Jr. High for first period for band and then has to hurry across the street to the elementary school before the first bell rings. She's made friends with two girls named Taylor and calls them the Taylor twins. Over all I can't believe how well the girls always adjust to something new, they inspire me.
