Our present life

We are currently living in Manteca, California away from the cold winters of Chicago. We moved to California almost 4 years ago and started this blog in an attempt to keep in touch with our family and friends in Chicago or elsewhere. We miss everyone from the midwest but we love those who have become part of our life in California. Kevin is a teacher at Ripon Christian High. He also coaches girls volleyball and soccer and stays busy playing the sports he loves as well. Janey is a nurse 2 days a week and a mom the rest. She works at DMC on the pediatrics floor. Mason (5) and Talen (2) are growing daily and loving life! Enjoy our blog and follow us if you like!

Why are you So Cute Lately!?!

Ten reasons why you melt my heart these days.......
1.) That smile you do where you crinkle your nose up.
2.).How you look like such a little pro on your scooter.
3.)How you ask "mommy poopoo?" or "daddy poopoo?" everytime one of us comes out of the bathroom. So curious:)
4.)Your intense dislike of the neighbor cats (which you share with your mommy). Everytime you see a cat you respond "shoo kitty!!" and chase it away.
5.)When you dress up in your pumpkin costume and run around saying "rawrrr!"
6.)Your thick blonde hair and your big blue eyes.
7.) When you curl up in my lap in the morning and drink your milk as you try to wake up - you and your mommy are not morning people!
8.)How you immediately find your place on the mat during circle time when we go to pick up mason from school. You think you are also in preschool:)
9.)When I ask how old you are, you say "two!" Not so fast, I have one more month until you turn two!
10.)How you ask me to "sing mommy?" before I lay you down at night.
I Love you Talen!

soccer season #1

Mason's first season of soccer is over, and I think all of us here are just a little sad. Mason had a BLAST playing and making new friends. And Kevin and I had a blast watching him! It was so fun seeing his face light up every time he scored a goal, or passed to another player. We had some great coaches and we're looking forward to next year already! I think it's safe to say he will play again:)
