The Disa Channel


Two weeks into January, and Taylor has had a few ballet classes, we're really enjoying Sheriff of Nottingham and AJ had a great time playing mini-golf.  

AJ squared off against Daddy and Pops to see who was the best putter, and even though it was his first game, Andrew held his own.  The minigolf place is very dark, so it was pretty tough to get a good picture.  Taylor has been really enjoying her ballet & tap classes, and her teacher does a good job with all the kids.  



Lots of board gaming with the family to keep ourselves entertained on the cold wintery day.  The current favorites are Forbidden Desert and Sheriff of Nottingham.



The kids recently went to Global Winter Wonderland in Sacramento, and they had a great time.  There were even some cool floating Nemo fish to play around with.


Finally, some random pictures!






Now it's Taylor's turn to write!

Hi, This is Taylor! So my side of the blog is about Facetime with Ambria. It is super fun because we try to hide from AJ. I lock myself in my parents' bedroom and began to text and do video chat. I discussed Animal Jam and how I got an eagle and her rack of clothing. Next we discussed our school career, the USA spy foxes. I showed her our spy pamphlet and our spy cards. Next we discussed food and did a game called Draw Something. It is basically a guessing game where you draw. Next Ambria hung up. Awwww! Next I hit the computer up for Animal Jam. I feasted my eyes when my eagle took a vacation in the air world. I met new friends and had a blast. Also I have been playing Animal Crossing. I keep ditching the animals. LOL!!! So there you have it, my blog!

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!
