Three Kids In School!

Today was the first day of school. I now have a 3rd Grader, 2nd Grader, and Kindergartner!

 There they go. Heading in to the school!

Jane had her first day of Kindergarten. Her teacher is Mrs. G. Jane entered school a little scared but came out very happy and excited to tell me all about Kindergarten.

 I felt sad leaving her there all lonely on the carpet.

Linda is in 2nd grade with Mrs. Bailik.

Bruce is in 3rd with Mrs. Wickman.

Here's hoping for a great school year!

Cub Scouts

Well, Bruce is now 8yrs. old and officially a Cub Scout. He has been looking forward to Cub Scouts for a long time now. Having 3 sisters will get you really excited about doing anything with all boys. :) Sister P. is his leader and she had a pool party today. Bruce had a lot of fun, it was his first official Cub Scout function. We're looking forward to working on earning merit badges and being a part of this program. 

He hopes to be an Eagle Scout one day like his dad.

 Bruce is on the left side of both pics. He had fun swimming and then eating pizza.

Sea World - Jane's Choice

Jane's choice for her birthday destination was Sea World. I must say that I love living right in the middle of everything. In less than an hour we can be so many great places. (Sea World, Disneyland, Knotts, Planet Hollywood, etc.) Jane and I headed out to Sea World yesterday morning. We were there when it opened at 9am and left around 7:20pm. There is so much to do and see there. It was wonderful for Jane to have a day to herself. Being child #3, she doesn't always get a lot of one on one time. We had a fabulous time, and we were worn out by the end of the day. We did everything there was to do there. Jane kept checking the map to make sure we didn't miss a thing.

 Those are real penguins behind her.

 The Sky Coaster ride went over Mission Bay. It was pretty awesome, and Jane and I were both a little nervous. She said, "I don't want to do this ride again."

 

We came home and had cake and ice cream.The perfect ending to her day.

Here she is with a couple of her presents. A bean bag and her doggie pillow pet.

Jane's 5th Birthday

 It's Jane's 5th birthday today! She was born at 6:35pm in Palm Springs, CA. 

She has always been so lovely, inside and out. Jane is a great combination of sweet and sassy. 

We love you Jane. You're our sunshine.

Bruce's Baptism

Bruce was baptised a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints last night, on his 8th birthday. It was so beautiful. It was so wonderful to have our friends and family there to support Bruce and our family on this special occasion. Bruce was so happy. We are so proud of the wonderful boy he is. He is a good example and has such a good spirit about him. It seems like not long ago we welcomed this beautiful boy in to this world and now, 8yrs. later he has taken this important step on his journey back to our Heavenly Father. It was such a happy day and I know it was a happy day in heaven for our loved ones who have passed on before us.

Happy 8th Birthday Bruce!

The day Robert and I became a parents. We will never forget it.
