It's Christmas Time....

Brad spent two day doing the front yard. It all started the day after Thanksgiving, it took him one day to wrap the tree and then a day to do the rest. The scary part is...well he's not done in his mind anyway. He still wants to add some more lights and maybe by next year we will have a Rudolph and a Grinch blowup. That's our goal anyway..I am going to say sorry now for the horrible sound quality I had to stand across the street to get it all and we forgot to turn the music up but you get the idea. Happy Holidays!!!

Marisa's Photo Shoot

Marisa was very excited to find out that she was going to be modeling for a company that sells pool products to places such as Wal-Mart. Thank you so much to Jered who was able to make this dream come true for her. She met a professional hair and make-up lady who does this for professional models in L.A., that was exciting for her.Not only did she do one shoot but Jered called her on her birthday and said they have another product that they think Marisa would be great for. She said that was the best birthday present ever! Now we just wait and see if her photo gets picked. The other day Jered sent us 2 pictures from the first shoot and 2 pictures from the second shoot. I was so excited to see them that I had to share.

Karate Belt Testing - 10/23/10

Belt testing yesterday was a lot different than usual. Not only was it regular testing but it was also black belt testing. It was insanely packed and crazy but it was so much fun to experience it. Black belts had to test for an hour straight without any breaks of sparring which meant that the under belts had to spar for that long as well. Brad and Ashlee usually only spar for about 10 - 15 minutes so this was a challenge for them as well. Ashlee who is still new to sparring did a fantastic job and Brad did awesome too. But what Brad didn't know was after the kids were done for that hour they had to spar with the black belts for another 30 minutes and well lets just say Brad accidentally walked into one of Mr.T's gloves and well he now has a black eye. After being at the dojo for 6 hours(12pm-6pm) we got home changed quickly and headed to Central Coast Pizza for the belt ceremony which was a lot of fun. We finally made it home after picking up Marisa about 11 that night. Got up early this morning and headed off for some fall ball in the rain! It was a long but fantastic weekend. Thank goodness black belt testing is only once a year! Oh, I almost forgot Ashlee is still a belt higher than Brad so he jokingly told Ashlee she couldn't test the next time so he could catch up to her!!

A day to treasure....

On Sunday was a very special day for all us. Scott, Lyndee, Gunner, Karlee, John, Deb, Caitlin and us all met up in Morro Bay and had so fun laughing, playing and taking pictures. We are so very thankful that Scott, Lyndee and the kiddos were able to make that drive again all the away from Texas. I took a few photos but I can't wait to see the ones that Lyndee took. Thank you all for making it such a special day for us and creating special memories that we will always treasure....

Monster Trucks finally came back to the fair..

After a few years of being gone the Monster Trucks finally came back to the Mid State Fair. We took the girls to see the Monster Trucks yesterday and they were in for a treat. For tickets holders they had a pre-show where you can meet all the drivers, take pictures and get autographs. But we also got to go for a spin in the "Alien Attack" truck, it was awesome. Brad, I, Ashlee and some other people sat in the back and Marisa got to ride in the front with the driver. It was amazing and they put on an awesome show!!
