Red Sox Game!!!

 Oakland A's vs Red Sox

We were so excited when we heard The Red Sox were coming to town!!! We got out Our Red Sox Best & went to Cheer on in Oakland. This was the kids first Red Sox game & they were soooo excited!!! We ended up a few rows in front of friends from Our Stake in MA!!! Talk about a small world!!  We lost by a landslide... but it was still super fun!! Can't wait until next year!!!

FUN at Grandpa & Grandma's House

One of the main reasons why we moved here, was so Our kids could get to know there Grandparents. How many kids get to say they went and played in the Orchards? Helped Grandma cut the lawn on a old 1930's antique tractor?? Helped Grandma pick fruit and veggies. And watch Grandpa work on a hot rod?? :)

Grandma Thorpe found a Big Fat Tomato Worm!! She is going to take it into her Classroom.

 Ohhh and Savannh got a her Auntys White Bunkbed for her Room. 

She is so excited to join in on the Bunk Bed Fun!!! :)

Weekends...

Weekends 

Weekends are the Highlight for us. We are not the type of Family that has to be always doing something or going somewhere. We take our time, get things done, but most of all just enjoy our Family time. The kids have really missed Grandma reading to them every other night. So Grandma Thorpe came to read Bedtime Stories Friday Night. :) Grandma Thorpe is a 7th Grade Science Teacher & LOVES Books. :)

 Saturday Mornings are always filled with happiness & being goofy.

Brenton's Monster

 Brenton's Monster

I just wanted to Document Brent's Monster. Last night for Homework Brenton had to draw a "Scary Monster". Only a Mother would think it's the Cutest Scariest Monster!!! :)

Last Thing...

Last Thing...

The last thing you want/expect to hear, is your Child's School calling you to say there was a little accident. That you need to drop everything, because it would be for the best if I came and got him. 

Murphys Law. Being stuck behind a truck that looks like it had a run in with chickens. Going 20 mph all the way to the School. 

Savannah was very upset that her Brenton was hurt.

Apparently Brenton was playing with a hula hoop. There were some boys playing chase, and the kid being chased, didn't see Brent. Ran right into him, causing Brent to flip over the hula hoop, smacking his head on the concrete. 

 He did complain of a headache, and was a little freaked out what had happened.  And wouldn't you know Picture Day was the next day!!! Luckily for us, Mommy knew how to hide it with Makeup. ;) 

 Here's to hoping no more accidents!!!

My House looks like this...

Savannah is thrilled to have her toys again...

It makes me even happier, to look outside my window, & to see palm trees.

He's Here!!!

He's Here!!!! 

Alan arrived late last night. Our house is covered in boxes. So we came over to my In-Laws for a BBQ. :)

I told Brenton to strike a pose... hahaha

FINALLY!!!

Our New Home

Originally the kids & I were suppose to Move in right away. However the people had to push their move back a few weeks. So we are finally moving in today!!!! Yay!!!! We are so excited!!! We are planning on being here for a few years before figuring out where we want to buy/build. We picked this area because its 4 miles from my In-Laws, a few blocks from Alan's Best Friend, Gated Neighborhood, Private Pool & Park, I can have a good size garden, 15 fruit trees in our backyard, 3000 sq feet and 5 bedrooms. So come visit us!!! :)

Park

Park

Grandma Thorpe showed us this super special park a week ago. Unfortunately, it was so packed during the weekend, there was no where to park. I promised the kids we would come back after school, sometime this week. We brought Aunty Mallory & Uncle Conor. We will def being coming back to this park!!!

Best Part of Northern California is Redwoods everywhere.
