1st Day of Kindergarten!

Zoe started kindergarten Monday and she had a great time, and Kyle started pre-kindergarten. They were excited to go back to school after staying home with big sister Kalie over the summer. Aren't these two too cute! Kalie & Sydney start school August 13, so they have a little summer left. I got a new position in Sacramento with PG&E and I start on Friday, 8/1. My commute will be much shorter instead of traveling to Concord everyday. Micky & I are doing good and enjoying watching the kids grow!

Capitola - 4th of July

We just got home from Capitola where we spent the 4th of July weekend with our family, including my Mom and her friend Bob, & my sister, her husband Brett and their 2 kids. We had a great time and had a beautiful house to stay at, too bad it wasn't closer tho the beach.

The kids had a great time at the beach and the adults had a good time playing an outdoor game called "Washers".

We hope all is well & take care!

Congrats Sydney!

Congratulations Sydney on your 8th grade Promotion! Next stop, High School!

Happy 5th Birthday Zoe!

We celebrated Zoe's birthday yesterday with friends and family. The kids had a great time with the ponies and swimming in the afternoon.

School is out for Kalie and she is going to watch Kyle & Zoe for the summer. She needed a summer job, but with her softball schedule, it is hard for her to work. We came up with the idea that would save us time and money and actually helps Kalie out with a job.

Zoe celebrated her pre-school promotion last week, and they put on a school performance. She will start Kindergarten this year!

Sydney has 8th grade graduation on Thursday and she is still participating in the swim team, but no meets yet.

I transferred to a new department with PG&E and I start working in Concord on Monday. I will have a 1 hour commute, but I am grateful for the change. Hopefully I will be in Sacramento within a few months. I want to work in Sacramento, but I had to change job titles and work in Concord for a time.

Micky has been busy with work and the kids. He is doing well.

Take care,
Micky & Diane

Prom!

Well, May is starting to be a busy month in our house. Kalie has Prom tonight and she went with a group of friends and she looked beautiful! Sydney has signed up for the local swim team, the Galt Gators, and has practice every evening. Oh yeah, softball is starting back up for Kalie, so we will start traveling to her weekend tournaments. Kalie did track for the high school this season and that is coming to an end.

Kyle and Zoe are keeping us busy...Last night Mr. Kyle thought it would be fun to flush Kalie's cell phone down the toilet. Luckily, Kalie heard him flushing the toilet and looked in the toilet, then all the commotion started. Micky took the phone completely apart and dried every little piece and this morning Kalie checked on it & it is still working. We never thought he would do that! Zoe told us that Kyle has flushed toys down the toilet before, so Kyle was in time out last night and had a firm talking to. Aaahh, the life of a 3 year old.

Zoe & Kyle went to the Dr for their checkup, Zoe got 5 shots for kindergarten, and Kyle got 2. They were not too happy with me, so I took them to Baskin Robbins for ice cream afterwards. When they got home, they proudly showed everyone their band aids and told them about their wonderful Dr experience. These 2 little ones make us laugh!

Take Care!

5K Zoo Zoom Run in Sacramento

We ran our 1st 5K run today around the Sacramento Zoo and it was a beautiful day. I ran with Kalie, my neighbor Annette and her son Ryan. I ran it in 45 minutes, with a bit of walking. Kalie ran it in 30 min 58 seconds. I was proud of Kalie for doing this run and happy I finished! After the race, both our families went to the zoo, then out to brunch on the river. The hot tub sounds pretty good right now!

We are all doing good and just busy with the kids. Take care!
