Sea Ranch

2008-12-28T18:20:00.000-08:00

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

2008-12-28T18:13:00.000-08:00

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.

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

Star Wars Legos

2008-12-28T17:53:00.001-08:00

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

2008-12-28T17:50:00.001-08:00

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.

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!

The Sacramento River Cats

2008-06-02T22:01:00.000-07:00

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

2008-04-30T21:28:00.001-07:00

Mather Air Show

2008-04-02T08:48:00.000-07:00

IT was a cold morning in January. The elders quarum (and one lonely high priest) were up to no good. The Polar Bear Plunge was about to begin. the men readied themselves.

They plunged

Most jumped out quickly

A few remained.

But who was last?

the lone high priest! (They should have known better than to invite him)

While You were Out

2008-01-01T19:49:00.000-08:00

We did a little While you Were Out for Rebekah and Eliza. Their room had cute circles all over it, and they wanted something a little "cooler" so we gave Rebekah a Switchfoot side and Eliza a side to put on her pics she takes with ther new camera. Was it worth staying up til 3:00 in the morning? YES! The loved it!

We hosted the New Years Eve Party again this year. It was nice to have the Harris' join us.

After the New year, Kent and Steve let off some fireworks, and and Mike made his delicious German Panckaes. What a fun night!
