Happy new Year

November was a busy month, with AJ's birthday and gearing up for Christmas.  AJ's birthday was held at Chuck-E-Cheese and Christmas was at Tia's house followed by the Woods.

AJ finally turned 6 and we invited his class to his party.  Only a few showed up though, because Thanksgiving week is a hard time to have a birthday.  Rough gig!

Christmas was held at Tia's house, we did a 40 minute hike through the woods to the top of the mountain, followed by a delicious lunch and a crazy car-ride down the hill.  There were 11 of us crammed into a car designed to seat 7, and we made it!  Later that day we had cheese fondue and went to see a Christmas house.  The next morning we had delicious crepes and opened all the gifts.

A few days later, it was up to Arnold for our second Christmas, what lucky kids!

Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

Halloween, Animal Jam and Babies!

(Look at all the animals I have)

Hi everybody! It is Taylor. I will be writing about 2 things: Halloween and Animal Jam. First I will write about Animal Jam because it is the first picture. I got a membership!!! I have a total of 9 animals. I could only use 2 animals while being non-member. Now I can have way more. I have a raccoon, 2 arctic wolves, 2 bunnies, a deer, a wolf and a dolphin. The dolphin is on another page in the picture above. I have made so much progress. For example, I have gotten more clothes. Now I will talk about Halloween. I was a skeleton princess. I went trick or treating with Emily. She is a goth girl. My total candy is 273 candies! Emily's older brother came back from trick or treating. Me, Emily, her younger sister, her older sister, and her older brother did a candy trading clan. Her older brother had air nerds extreme. I begged him for it but he said no.  Emily and I made a candy trading post. It was a candy for another candy. I had to go home. Another Halloween well done!

(Not actually our baby)

Hello readers! It is Chris.  I will be writing about 2 things: Halloween and babies.  First I will write about babies, because they're such a big deal.  Nicky is pregnant!!! We have 2 kids already, and we thought we were done.  Now we will have one more! We have a boy and a girl, and we don't know what the next one will be.  It has been such a journey.  For example, Taylor is 8 and AJ is almost 6! Now I will write about Halloween.  I walked all over the neighborhood and we went trick or treating with the Alex and Zena.  I stole a lot of candy from the kids' trick-or-treat bags.  They were busy trading, and I was munching on Kit-Kats.  They had no idea, but it was soon time to go home and go to bed.  Another Halloween well done!

Now for some pics!

Santa Cruz & a wedding

Just a quick picture dumping - we recently went to Santa Cruz wedding

End of Summer update

Mostly a picture dump this time.  Couple of big events:

I had my vasectomy reversal last month, and now we're (I'm) getting ready for the idea of a baby around.  Nicky isn't pregnant yet, but I don't think it will be too long now.  Taylor is excited to have a baby sister, and Andrew doesn't care what it is.

Taylor started up school again, 3rd Grade! and AJ started kindergarten.  So far, almost every day has resulted in a happy-gram for him.

Taylor got her ears pierced, she's been asking for a long time and it's finally time.  She's using rubbing alcohol or whatever to keep them clean every night, and she's been handling it like a big kid.

Disneyland! and California Adventure!

Hello everyone!  Short update today, mostly a big photodump.  We took a trip to Disneyland with Aunt Star and Uncle Tim.  It was a great time, and thanks to Uncle Tim for taking so many great pictures!

Hello everyone it is me, Taylor.  We rode the waterside and went to both California Adventure and Disneyland!!!  At Disneyland our first ride was Matterhorn.  We explored the inside and outside and went through a pit of water.  Sadly I had to get off the ride.  Next we went to star tours. We went on a new planet in the world or star wars.  We found out there were 54 versions of the ride.  Next we went on the rocket ride and flew higher than the one at Funderland. Then we went to the haunted house- it looked like it had been updated since I last went to the haunted house.  After a few more rides and a nap at the hotel we went back to Disneyland and saw Fantasmic. We rode on 3 more rides and went to the hotel. We stayed up till midnight watching Family Guy.

Next morning we went to California Adventure.  Our first ride was the Tower of Terror.  It was a huge drop ride and it made me so miserable.  Then we went on California Screaming.  It was better, it even had an upside down circle! Then we went on Mickeys Fun Wheel - it was scary, it was also kinda like a cable car.  After Silly Symphony Swings and a few other rides we went to the hotel and napped. We went on the water slides for one last time and headed to Tower of Terror.  After that we did a few rides that the family wanted then my ride. For my ride we went on Goofy's Flying School. It was so fun.  That did not wrap up our time yet.  We went on California Screaming 2 more times. Then we did Jumping Jelly fish and Cars!  Then we headed back for the hotel.  Next morning we left and bought a souvenir from the arcade then we left the hotel and returned the keys. So that's the end of the vacation. That's all, bye!

Here's the pictures!
