Sea Ranch

I am finally posting again (thanks to Cindy's constant prodding)

It has been so long since we went on a vacation. With Kent out of work funds haved been tight. But Mike took our Ffmily to Sea Ranch on the coast and it was GREAT! We ate good food, swam, played games, watched movies, and spent lots of time at the beach.

The Patients of Children

Well, I have finally started a business that is making money (although I still have about 5 ideas on the back burner). My children's photography business has been doing really well. (http://www.sarahskidpics.com/). My family has been great! Kent built me a studio, dad lent me the light, and the kids, against there will, come out to the studio so I can practice. Sometimes it takes some bargening and bribing, but out of five I can usually coerse one or two to come out.

Bob, Aniken, a Knight, a Witch and Velma

We had a great Halloween! Here are some pics of the kids at the Ward Halloween Party.

Star Wars Legos

Like many of you, your life revolves around Star Wars legos. If you asked me randomly most days, I would have more than one lego in my pocket, becasue I collect them off the floor most days. Star wars legos, on the Wii, star wars legos on the game boy, star wars lego on the shelf AND only 10 minutes ago I was listeing to Lando Cal Risien say "Sorry, they arrived before you did, I had no choice". Well most moms might get fed up with it, but I don't. I LOVE Star Wars! So we headed off to the Star Wars Lego event at Arden Fair Mall a few onths back. It was great! They had some real charachters and the kids got to help build a Giant R2D2. Jake was a little intimidated but the "Real" storm troopers, but after some coaxing, I took this picture.

Space: The Final Frontier

For this year of homeschool we joined the Sacramento Space Museum and have been having a fun time over there. The kids especially love dressing up.

Alzheimers race 2008

We had such a fun time at the first annual Alzheimers race. The kids all ran and so did Kent (pushing Tyler) and I. My mom and dad showed up and Marcia did a great job as spokesperson for the newscast. Can't wait to do it again next year!

Waterpark

Got some cute pics at the waterpark. All the kids had fun (and Kent did too!)

My Handsome Boys

Because Kent has a new job, I made him a frame with pics of the family for his desk. I wanted a picture of the boys, and this is how it turned out. So cute!

Dancin' Queen

We had so much fun at our enrichment night last week. Our presidency sang and danced to Dancing Queen. It was a big hit. I also, sang "Fly me to the moon". What fun.

My Beautiful Girls!

The girls have had a busy end of the year with their Plaid Suitcases concert and their dance recital. Here are some pics. hopefully will have some video on soon.

Fun at Rachelle's

We alwats have LOTS of fun at the Anderson's. Here are some pics

The Sacramento River Cats

For Kents Birthday we went to the Rivercats game. He and the kids had a blast. I did not enjoy it. We sat by 50 wild teenagers and then the bugs came and kept getting all over me. But Kent had fun and that was all that mattered.

My New Bike

Well, many don't beleive it, but the cost of my new beautiful bike was purchased with an extra large pepponi pizza. I saw it on Craigslist and my awesome husband picked up and delivered the pizza and a week later we were riding through the Redwoods!

Point Reyes

Kent took the older kids to point reyes for a few days with some other homeschoolers. They had a BLAST! Here are some pics.

Mather Air Show

We decided to get tickets to the air show this year so I could get some good pictures of the airplanes inside. It worked out well, since the kids were free. The Anderson's joined us as well so it was extra fun
