2nd Story Window: .down the mountain.

I love it up here in the mountains, but I need to go down the mountain,
soon and very soon. I need a change of scenary..and fast!
So..we are going down tonight..Yah! I am sure we will eat at a favorite place,
shop at a favorite store, see new things. I sound like a shut-in! Geez.
Anyways, down the mountain I go.
It will be a nice getaway from staring at the tv watching every minute of
Olympic coverage possible, it's addictive!
Alot has happened since I posted on here last, the kiddos all went back to school.
Brenna her first year in High School, new friends and faces.
Here is a "pictorial" of what we have been up to.

We will start with the peanutbutter boy..he found it opened up on the kitchen
counter..and here he is. he was covered in peanutbuttery goodness!

next was bathtime, he didn't really want to wash the peanutbutter off, and would
probably rather eaten it but..off to the shower he went.

This child loves to jump,fly,kick,throw,run you name it.
This was from one day after Nico got home from work and was hanging out in the
boys room with them.

The big Daddy.

Brenna listening to something on the Ipod.

Brenna took this picture of Alyssa and I love it. It is every bit Alyssa. It
makes me happy everytime I see it. I need a big version of this.

This is how he rolls, with his doggy Viola.

This is precious because Dominic is finally reunited with his friend Tristan.
They were buddies before we moved to Florida, and they lost contact. Ever since
we moved back to California we had been looking for Tristan. Well, Dominics first day
at his new school, he was sitting at lunch and who walked by!? Tristan!!! Dominic
came home from school so overjoyed that he had found his best friend!

The newest member to my electronics fetish..ok I dont really have a fetish
and I really did need a new laptop because my old one had taken a major blow.
Isn't she pretty!? All red and stuff. I shall call her Ruby.

now seeing as everyone was doing this, I jumped right in and followed the herd,
like a sheep to the slaughter, I went and made an avatar and wow, it looks SOOO
nothing like me!

20 years ago today I married Nico, we had both just graduated from highschool that May, got married in August, went on a quicky honeymoon so that we could be back in time to head off to college!
20 years later..
We have Alyssa,Corbin, Brenna,Dominic and Lucas and we are still the same sillys we were when we were in highschool..he still makes me laugh, he still makes me happy when he sings and plays his guitar, he cooks for me...he is there for me.

I love you Nico!

*donut all gone*

Here was a super fun day at the park where Lucas made a new friend and we have
a playdate scheduled for this Wednesday! Yah boy! [I think these are the last
pictures of him with his long hair...sniff sniff]
