Congratulations to the 2007 Fall Soccer Team/Hornets! Bruce had fun coaching with Marty Ives this year. What an incredible undefeated season these boys had! They really worked hard together. Tyler has improved in all areas. He really gave it back to the other teams. Way to go Tyler! You have gotten so tough and your skills are outstanding! So proud of you!

Pump it Up! Happy Birthday Jia & Dylan

We finally had the big bash!Dylan 6, and Jia 5. The years have flown by. It was so much fun to jump on all those huge jumping things! Thank you to all our friends that came and celebrated. It was a blast seeing all the kids have so much fun. All of our sweaty, stinky friends mean the world to us. Thanks for all the great gifts! Now Christmas doesn't seem so far away.

Ninja Power

Dylan & Jia here ready for the Countryside Halloween Parade. They had fun playing games & getting treats. Like we needed more treats! Tyler missed out because of a Birthday party. I think he is getting too old for some stuff now. My how time flys.

Great Weather Makes Halloween a Success!

Halloween was fabulous this year! The weather up here was absolutely perfect. We had our usual Chili open house here and there was quite a crowd! The kids were so ready to trick or treat and this year we had another family member join in the tradition. This is Georgia, our 1 year old Papillon. She throughly enjoyed the neighborhood Halloween Parade. I believe she was especially keen on her hat. Obviously, she was pretty popular. By the look on her face it looks like she already knows that. She is so fun and we love her very much. She has really made life fun. She is looking for love, so if anyone knows of a single male (smaller stature), we will be glad to consider the offer.
The kids were so cute too. Tyler 9, dressed as a ghost rider. Dylan 6, dressed as a Ninja. Jia 5, was the all powerful pink power ranger! Ready to roll, they returned with pillow cases stuffed to the rim! Wow, even some whole candy bars. Just what I need to help me on the never ending South Beach diet. It was a very fun and memorable Halloween.

October Vacation to St. John

We are so excited to start this blog for our family and friends. We thought this would be a good way to share the many happenings of our crazy lives! It will be a venue to share photos, funny & not so funny stories, prayer requests and praise reports! We are so blessed with this life we have and we give all the glory to God. This first photo is Bruce & Jan on a well deserved and needed vacation to St. John, Virgin Island. We did what we do best ; sat in the sun on every beach on the island and snorkeled in every bay we could get to. It was an awesome island experience. We definitely intend on going back next year. We encourage all of you to take time together now!
