Orange League Champs

A couple weeks ago the parents of our freshmen had a BBQ in celebration of our league championship. It's been about 8 years since our last title and at the begining of the season I would have never thought that this group would be champions but they worked hard, played as a team and played with alot of heart. I'm very proud to have coached this hard working group of kids. GO COLONISTS !!!

Who needs video games

Sophia and Mia found something else to play with at Michelle's soccer game last week. They had a blast playing in the leaves and when I saw the picture it reminded me of the old days when kids used to play outside.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving at our house was wonderful. We had a great time visiting with each other. My Mom, my Grandma and my brothers all came over. Andrew brought his appetite and Sarah had to work but she came over after work. The food was excellent and Mia's prayer brought tears to my eyes. It was unprompted and unscripted, she just spoke up when I was about to start our prayer and said "Daddy, I want to pray today" and it was the most beautiful prayer I have ever heard. Thank you Lord for always being in my girls hearts. We ate, talked and watched football all day. I finally retired to my recently remodeled DAD CAVE and my early Christmas present......my new rocker recliner that I bought that day at a Thanksgiving sale, took it out of the box and made sure my butt was the first butt to sit on it. Since Andrew moved out Dad needs a place to do boy things like scratch myself, fart and watch sports. That's what I tell the girls anyway, who insist it is a "Play room". I will post some pictures of Thanksgiving and more importantly Dad's DAD CAVE when I get them downloaded. Until then here are a couple of Mia's soccer team pizza party, Mia making a ginger bread man and the girls making a pumkin at girls scouts.

Daddy's Girls

Here are pictures of the girls tearing it up at Daddy's favorite lunch spot "Shakey's Bunch-O-Lunch"

Mia's 5th Birthday

I can't believe my baby is 5 years old already. We had a Princess Tea Party for both Mia and Sophia's birthday a couple of weeks ago but we had a small party for her on her actual birthday. This picture is from her birthday and I will post pictures of the tea party when I get them downloaded.

God, just take me now !!!

Officer DiCaprio came to Sophia and Mia's daisy meeting last week to talk to them about his exciting job being a policeman. What you don't know is that officer DiCaprio is Mia's future father-in-law. Since Mia was able to speak she swears that Andrew's friend Justin DiCaprio is her boyfriend. I'm not even sure Andrew and him even hang out anymore because I haven't seen him in a long time but Mia still insists he is her boyfriend. Any time the name Justin comes up in conversation Mia asks "my boyfriend Justin?" Oh and even cuter she pronounces it "Juth-tin" Anyhow, I hear Justin is working to become a fireman and having a cop in the family is never a bad thing so I guess she could do a lot worse. I really hope I am able to joke like this when the girls start dating for real.

Trick or Treat

I know it's a little early but Auntie Veronica and Uncle Chris got special tickets to Disneyland where they close down the park and those who have these special tickets can go trick or treating all around Disneyland. Michelle was a pirate and Sophia and Mia were both snow princesses. They had a blast and were so tired when they got home that they didn't even notice that all of the Reeses peanut butter cups were gone. (Daddy's favorite)
