Go Barracudas!

Can you believe how fast the past few months have gone. We had so much fun this summer. Sitting by the pool during Isabel's races, staying at Uncle Joels in Mt. Hood, walking on the Beach in Seaside, OR, staying a week in Bellevue with family and enjoying our two new baby cousins.

Isa on her 11th birthday. The only thing she wanted was an Ipod.

We got her the shuffle and said she could upgrade later. She loved it.

This is a photo of Eli biting his 1st birthday cake. He loved it.
I can not believe he is now 1.

We had Birthday Luau for Ori's 6th Birthday.

Here she is with her cousin Vonnel.

Notice Ori's two missing teeth.

She lost them in May and was very proud of the fact that she pulled them out herself.

What a brave girl.

Well it sure has been a long time since my last blog. My life has gotten so busy now that my children are getting older. Isa just finished the 5th grade and will soon enter 6th. She is sure turning in to a beautiful young lady. At the moment she is on the swim team and is enjoying every moment of it, even the early mornings. This month Isa celebrated her 11th birthday. Ori graduated from Kinder and is now considered a first grader. She turned 6 in May. Ori helps me keep Eli entertained so I can get things done around the house while I am on Summer Vacation (one of the many perks for working for the School District). Eli turned 1 in June. He is growing so fast. He just got his first professional hair cut last week and he now looks like a cute little boy. He looks so HANDSOME.

On Sunday December 28th Uncle Ben treated us to Ice Skating and Bowling. We had a blast. The girls enjoyed the ice. Ori was a natural. Isa bowled better then I did, scoring three strikes. Way to go Isa. It was a much needed break from our daily routine. Thanks Ben and Amanda for a great day. We enjoyed it and can not wait to do it again.

I can not believe Christmas is over. And the new year is just two days away. We had such a fun holiday spending time with our friends and families.

Our days have been filled with fun, love, and snow!

Happy Halloween!!!

Gramma Becky made my outfit.

My wish was to be my Papi for Halloween.

Mom says it was a success. Where's my application?

This year Isabel played U-11 soccer.

Her team improved so much this year. They ended the season with 3 wins, 1 tie, and 1 loss.
