New Kittens


When we arrived in Idaho Ted's cat Zues was missing. We thought he might be over at the neighbors but unfortunately yesterday Ted found his cat dead on the side of the road. Ted adopted a 6 month old cat he has named Bella (top) Travis has claimed a kitten at Grandma's house named Kelly. (bottom) Of course the cats will stay at grandma and grandpa's house. But the boys love to play with them. Kelly has torn apart the Christmas tree and Bella will demand attention when she wants it.

Ted's Mommie and Me day 12/23/09












Ted choose to go to the Queen Mary for his mommy and me day. He is interested in ghost hunting. We took the ghostly encounters tour and went to some eerie places where there have been ghost sightings. Bottom you Ted in the engine room. Right you see Ted in the empty boiler room. Ted believes that he got a picture of paranormal activity (top picture) when he took a picture of a dark hallway in the dressing rooms located in the 1st class swimming pool which is suppose to be a vortex. You be the judge.

Travis' Mommie and Me Day 12/22/09


Thursday 12/17/09 Travis was playing dodge ball at the Boys and Girls club and managed to get his hand stepped on and broke his index finger just above the hand. So for the 2nd year in a row we will go to Idaho with someone in a cast (Ted broke his foot last year the week before Christmas).

Tuesday 12/22/09 was Travis' mommie and me day. We went to Disneyland and had breakfast at the Story tellers cafe with the characters. Here is a hint: do not go to Disneyland the week before Christmas it was nothing but people.

Football season











Travis has been busy with football. He has been doing well. He plays just about any position they want to put him in as. He has played quarterback, center, lineman, running back, defensive end and outside linebacker. He prefers outside linebacker but currently they are only letting him play defense for half of the game but he is still the leading tackler on his team. His team is not doing so good though. They only have between 16-18 players at each game. They are all 7 yrs old and first year tackle players so they are currently 0-5-1.

Ted has just started water polo. He is currently taking a fundamentals class to learn the game. He seams to love the game and if his enthusiasm continues he will probably play on a team starting in January. I will try to get some pictures next week. I had to run between water polo and football last night because they change football practice this week because of the rain.

Busy Times

Well it is fall once again. The boys had to change schools at the last minute (2 days before their former school started). They attend Twila Reid Elementary which is just down the road from our house. The have to go to day care at 6:15am so that I can get to work on time.
Travis is busy with football 3 nights a week and games on Saturday. This is his first year of tackle football. His team is very small and young. So far they are 0-2. Ted will start swimming 2-3 times a week at the end of September.Ted still goes to Sylvan 4 hours a week. I am still working on a Masters Degree and teaching full time so we are busy.
