B-Ball and Jennifers Christmas party, Ice skating and Wahoos

Here are some pictures from the boys BBall game and from Jennifer's xmas party. We actually had Shannon doing some NKOTB karaoke. I had a list of songs I picked out but was only able to get 3 in. Needless to say we have been having a good time and all are well. Oh yeah, what is Chris grabbing for in the basketball picture??????

The other girl in our bed

Every morning i wake up to the two most beautiful girls in the world. i wanted everyone to see how the "other girl"(Nala) in my bed sleeps. She thinks she is human. She sleeps under the blankets till i get up and then she pops her head out so she knows what i am doing. Once i am done showering she gets out of bed for her hard day. If you look at the top of the picture you can see the back of Shannon's head sleeping.

In Memory of Paul Luna

For those of you who do not know, this weekend marked the one year anniversary of Paul's death.

Jennifer decided to have a memorial celebration for Paul. We all got together and wrote messages to him on a balloon and at the same time, we all let them go up into the sky. It was very special to be a part of. I think it was a great idea what Jennifer did.

New Kids on the Block Concert

Oh My Gosh! We had so much fun! Ok, so i wasn't too sure how this concert would really be, but let me just say......it was awesome! :) Yes, i said awesome! It was like going back to when i was 12 years old again. We had a great time and i am so glad Jennifer got us tickets to go.

Jessica's Visit

Last week Jessica came to visit. She was only here for a couple days, but on Monday night we went to her sister Jennifer's house and got to hang out for their Birthday (Happy Birthday Jessica and Jennifer) . It was a short visit, but I am glad we were able to get together. The boys are always happy when they get to see Aaron too.

Turkey Day

My favorite Holliday of the year!!

Here are some pictures from our Thanks Giving day..

Go Nick..Go Nick..

On November 5th, the day after it was announced that we now have a new President "Elect", the boys had a Flag Ceremony at school where they said the Pledge around the Flag Pole and then sang for the whole school. Following the Flag Ceremony, was an award accembly where Nick got an award for being a Super Citizen and Respectfulness. Nick is such a great student and we are very proud of him for trying so hard and being such a good kid! Great Job NICK!!!

Chris is always super happy for his brother. If you look closely in the picture, you can even see him in the far left corner smiling (like always) when his brother got his award. :)

Soccer

The boys were asked to finish out the season on a ayso team that was 0-8 on the season. They played there first game this last saterday and they WON!!!!! The team and the parents were so happy for the boys coming out and giving the team what they needed to pull off the win. The score was 7-3.

For me it is weird because this is the first time i have not been one of the coaches. I can tell you that it is hard to sit and not open my mouth. Basketball is starting up so i will get do all the talking i want. Tommorow is our first practice and i have 9 kids, which is perfect so when we practice i can be the fith player on one of teams. I am just as much a kid as the others (ask Shan) so it will be great. I will always be a kid at heart it is no fun being an adult. :)

Halloween

The troops before they went out on a mission to save all candies in the neighborhood. Shannon and the boys went trick or treating with the Gunner and Hunter from down the street while i stayed home and passed out candy. We are starting out first Holiday season in our new home and we are loven it. The boys dressed like Indiana Jones and I dressed up as a Lakers player with a fro, Shannon dressed up like a supermodel oh wait that is just her normal cloths. :) Anyways we had a good time and cant wait for turkey day.

Night out at Jennifer's

Saturday Night we went to Jennifer's house for her sister in law's 30th Birthday party. We had a great time and Jason even sang a little Kareoke. He's not so bad...you would be surprised. :)

To top the night off, Chris finally lost his last front tooth. Nick knocked it loose when they were wrestling and Jason pulled it out.

It was a night full of adventure.

We partied hard out in good ol Corona!!!

Papa Comes To Town.

My dad came to visit last week. We had a great time. The kids love when grandma or papa come to visit. When they lived here, we would always go to the pumpkin patch, so we thought we would take the kids while he was here. They all had lots of fun (except Lisa who was in the bathroom the whole time). :) LOL........

Nacho Loving on the boys

She really likes Chris's face (it usually has more leftovers).

Knott's......

We went to Knott's Berry Farm on Friday night. They boys had fun. "So did we."

Ok...Until the next time. :)

NASCAR

Thanks To Jennifer and her friend Guy, we got to go the the NASCAR race out in Fontucky!! Here are some pictures of our day. The first one is the boys writing there names on the Start/Finish line (how cool) Then the next two are Shannon and the boys sitting in front of the best car (the 99) on pit lane. If you read this Jen, tell guy thank you very much....

My little Doyers

This is a picture at the Dodgers game. A guy in my office gave us really good tickets to the game. The boys and Shan and I had a blast. It was the baseball experience i have been waiting to have. Before the boys only cared what the were able to buy from the store, this time they had a clue about what was going on were able to understand so i now feel i have passed on the Dodger blue blood to the boys.

9 Years!!!!

Shannon and I celebrated our ninth anniversary on the 5th of Sept. We went to diner at what used to be Sam's seafood on PCH in Seal Beach, It is now called Kona and was a perfect place for Shannon and I, because it was a Hawaiian theme and the food was right up our alleys, but like i said before it was our anniversary. So I would like to say that i could never imagine going through these last nine years with anyone else. As you all know Shannon is my better half and i would not be anywhere in life without her. She is the reason i wake up and the reason that i smile.
