Hello day light savings! Yep it's that time of year.... Fall back. One problem, we have yet to see the cooler weather. We have been busy this last past month, with Poly Homecoming, Disneyland trips, A visit from a great friend and last to end the month Halloween! The older boys recieved their report cards in the mail yesterday. They are doing well and Ryan is adjusting to his 9th grade first quater report. Rickey was hit with a flu this week, the Dr. treated him for H1N1 due to his asthma. Tamiflu works wonders!! He is now much better. A big happy 40th Birthday to my brother Rodney! I hope you had a good one, you only turn 40 once. Enjoy my pictures!

lots of hugs,

Debbie

3 Months! Where has the time gone, I'm sooo behind on my social networking!!

2009-10-09T22:46:00.000-07:00

Since June, the graduations, the summer has come and gone, back to school, yes has again come and gone. Yep here we are in October!! That means the holidays at Disneyland. My favorite time of the year! and busy too.

We took a lot of trips to the beach this summer. We headed to Knotts & RagingWaters. Randy started dating his girlfriend Shay. Randy is also a Senior! Ryan started High School. Rickey is now in Middle School. Can you say.....Whoo Hoo!! My kiddos are growing up, why do people always say way too fast?? It surely has been a rapid change in our household. With that I started back to school myself. Tim got a promotion at work, so he is back to working on the weekends. but not too bad! he gets every third weekend off. I can't complain too much. I will be working on trying to keep up with all my networking! For now I hope all my family and friends are well!

Ryan's 8th grade age 14

Rickey's 6th grade age 11

I have earned my bragging rights!!! Proud MOM moments.....

2009-03-27T01:31:00.000-07:00

It was the end of the Quarter for Ryan and Rickey.....

Ryan has earned himself his third straight honor roll At GAGE! keep up the great, hard work!

Rickey still has about 23 marking on his report card. A for advanced, P for proficient, B for basic and BB for below basic. He had 9 markings go up from either a Basic to Proficient or a Proficient to an Advanced!! He did have one A go to a P but it's all good!! So 7-A's, 13-P's and only 1 -B. They both have worked really hard this Quarter! Let's hope they keep it going strong.

Ryan was also recommended for the #1 club....yep he gets to get out of class earlier for lunch about 5 minutes :)

Randy decided to go ahead and run track this year. He ran yesterday the 400. He came in 4th, but he beat all the Poly runners...so it was a big deal to me!! The Corona team was good, they took 1st, 2nd and 3rd. They got new Jersey's and sweats this year.

2009-02-22T00:22:00.000-08:00

So we traveled to Fresno to celebrate the birthdays with the family..... great times with family not a good weekend to travel! We usually travel grapevine, or interstate 58 to the old 395. The highways were both closed due to rain, and snow. We all needed to get home for work and school. We had to take the 41 to the 101. I was excited about seeing the coast, not to excited about the extra hours added to the drive!!

On our way home from Fresno....the long way!

So my youngest son Rickey just got back last Friday from his 6th grade science camp at Pathfinder Ranch...remember that, yep I also went there as a child..... well Tim never got to experience camp, so I sent him along as a chaperone. Needless to say they both had an awesome time :) His study group was called the Foxes, his sleeping lodge was the Smith Lodge, and they were table #1 for their dinning. Day one was spent learning about ethnobotany, and forest ecology. There was some free time and evening hikes. Day two was animal ecology, horseback riding and canoing. Along with meals and campfire! Day three the rock climbing wall, and fire ecology. They also had time for archery. Yep my kid hit a bullseye!! twice!
