Summer was busy! Time to catch up a little

We went down to California for a couple weeks back in August... drove down the coast-line for a little along 101 down to San Fransisco. We stayed there for two days with family. Then we headed down the 5 to Santa Ana. We had a great time with family and friends down there. Most of which I haven't seen for a very long time.





Then we drove back up to Sacramento to hang out with my bro and sis and family.  We had a blast!  Look forward to going back down soon!



School started, and my Little Faith is a Kindergartener ... crazy! Grace played soccer, and her season lasted about two months. She scored multiple goals, and sometimes multiple goals in one game even. In that game she scored the last two goals to pull ahead and win 4-3 when the star player was injured, I was excited about it. She had a great time, and we enjoyed watching her too!  The girls are both in Awana's, they're having a blast, and I actually help out during verses and games, but not in either of their classes.

Of course, there was Halloween! The girls pictured below.



I've been eating most of their candy though. 

That's been our summer... for the most part.  How was yours?

Hope's 1st cake

Earlier in the month, Hope turned 1 year old. Here is a short clip that we all really enjoyed of her eating her cake.


I video taped each kid eating their cake, and Hope was so different in the fact that she actually attacked the cake and went for it. I just love it.

Got a new Dog...

LILY...

and the girls love her. So far, she has been a great dog. She slept in her crate all night without making a peep. I hope she stays this good.

She's really moving along now

Hope after her bath

Crawling on the floor after a little enticing from her sister. The first few seconds are all messed up due to the video conversion to shrink it down for the web.
