It's a spare!

I know, horrible picture, but cute nonetheless

Mrs. Knotts

I have been going to Mrs. Knotts Chicken Dinner since I can remember.  We used to meet my Gramy and Gramps there for dinner and then walk around the shops at the entrance to Knott's.  I can still remember sitting at the table with them, eating TONS of biscuits with boysenberry jam, sipping my boysenberry juice and watching my Gramps eat the Rhubarb.  Mrs. Knotts is full of memories for me.  Irelyn's first trip there was when she was about 6 months old and now she loves it like I do.  Don't you just love family traditions? :-)

Yay!! We love Mrs. Knotts Chicken Dinner

Flu vaccine

I am so curious what others are thinking about the vaccines this Fall.  Are you taking your kids to get the flu shot?  The H1N1 shot?  Are you getting the flu shot?  Take my poll on the right- it's anonymous.

The Kindergarteners

Go Purple Butterflies!

A victim of Kindergarten :(

Poor Irelyn didn't even last a full week yet in Kindergarten.  The sickness got the best of her.  :( 
Now I don't know about you, but to me having a sick kid is soooooooo hard.  I can't stand watching her uncomfortable, hot, coughing, crying and on and on it goes.  Oh and not to mention the thoughts that run through my mind about what kind of disease she has contracted this time and where she got it.  Ewww the germs!  I'm hoping to make it through tonight without her fever coming back up and without coughing that wakes her up. Until tomorrow...

Summer is over...

This was a very special week at our house.  Irelyn started Kindergarten!  She was very excited to go to school and was happy that she already knew 5 kids.  She had a huge smile when I went to pick her up and had met more new friends :)  We love you Irelyn and are so proud of you.

 

 
I just can't believe that summer is over and the Holidays are right around the corner.  But first... Halloween!  One of my favorites.  I don't know why, I don't even like dressing up, but I love the decorations, the candy, apply cider, carving pumpkins...just everything about it!  I can't wait!!

Picture tag

The rules of picture tag are: Open your first photo folder. Scroll down to the 10th photo. Post that photo and story on your blog. Tag three friends(or more) to do the same.



Ok here is my photo:

 
This is a picture of Irelyn and her cousin Lauren at my Uncle Rick's wedding.  Uncle Rick and Aunt Fran were married on December 31st 2007...New Years Eve!  They met when my Uncle Rick came down to visit for New Years 1999.  After they met that night, they had a long distance relationship (Fran in OC, Uncle Rick in Washington).  Uncle Rick is my moms brother and Fran is my moms long time friend.  Fran's son Sean and I also went to church and HS together.  Small World?  I think Yes :)
 
 
I tag- Heather, Becky and Karen.  Get to it girls!
