Troy's New Home in California

TROY MOVES TO CALIFORNIA

Troy is doing really well in his dental practice.

In school it was evident that he had a knack for dentisry.

He started out in Corporate Denistry.

After 1 year at Absolute Dental he moved to Pacific Dental Care

because he is able to buy into an ownership.

After 3 months, the owner of Pacific is flying in to meet with Troy.

He told him that he was their most promising Dentist and offered him an ownership.

Troy chose an office, possibly 2, in Temecula, California.

He has always said that he wanted to live in Cali,

ever since the love for surfing came into his life.

On Martin Luther King Day we decided to celebrate Martin

and go see Troy's new home!

January 16, 2010

Oh, I missed my little SCOUT!

She had to show me her new little chandelier for her room!

Scout has a light fixture fetish. She is always taking pictures of light fixtures.

Scout's light fixture is the most beautiful light I have ever seen!

And it even has a night light!

Olive had to show me her new hat!

What ever that girl wears- She is Adorable!

Troy's house is so perfect and they are so happy!

Just having fun!

And of course we had to go to the beach!

SNOW DAY

WHAT A CRAZY SNOWY WINTER WE HAVE HAD!

January 2010

Late one afternoon, when i had the boys,

we drove up Charleston a couple of miles

to Redrock where we ran into snow!

It was actually dark before we got there

Liam and Diesel could have played all night.

As long as they had Gramma to throw a snowball at!

TAY'S CHRISTMAS SERVICE PROJECT

One Saturday Jennie was on overload with too many place to be at once,

so I got to take Taylor to her Service Project.

What a fun little girl to spend time with!

We went to a Nursing Home where Taylor made

door knob holders with a few of these special people there!

Then they sang Christmas Carols to them!

Then Gramma had to go to her favorite place for breakfast

THE ORIGINAL PANCAKE HOUSE

I got an Apple Pancake and Taylor got a Waffle with Bacon.

What a FUN FUn Fun Time!

Gramma's New Years Eve Sleepover

GRAMMA'S NEW YEARS EVE SLEEP OVER!

Liam is ready to party!

Kate and Scout brought their baby dolls ready for a party!

Levi joined the fun for a little while before he was out for the night!

Taylor took some time to teach Diesel "Star Wars" on the piano!

Kate styled Scout's hair!

Olive was a little party animal!

Taylor helped Diesel with his costume for the movie we made!

It amazes me every year how they all make it to midnight!

THEN WE CELEBRATE!

We go to the balcony and watch the fireworks on the strip!

We blow our noise makers!

And hopefully Levi and Olive don't wake up!

Things get a little WILD AND CRAZY!

EVENTUALLY EVERYONE SETTLES DOWN ON THE AIRBED FLOOR

AND FALL ASLEEP WATCHING A MOVIE!

OUR PLAY WE FILMED WAS "SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS"

THESE KIDS DEFINITELY HAVE THE FLARE FOR DRAMA!

The next morning we wake up at the crack of dawn

and make Gramma's Mickey Mouse Pancakes.

They really aren't ready to give up yet.

They play, watch movies and want to make another movie.

This time it is

Finally, Indiana is ready to go home!

And the house is peaceful once again!
