Bye Bye Mini, Hello FX 45

Like OJ's gloves...it was too small...so we sold the mini and bought this! Real comfy and much more room! What do you think?

NorCal BMX

Here is the next generation of BMX riders. The Mallett boys are always up for a bike ride. Brian says" look Mom no hands", I guess we know who Jr. is !!!!

some holt girls pictures....

We went to Sadie's parent-teacher conference yesterday while Ryan was in town. Sadie is doing great and enjoyed showing her Dad and Mom around the classroom. Her teacher is Ms. Starr and she says Sadie is doing wonderfully and making friends even though she is still quiet and shy...(is this my Sadie?)...Sadie is always polite, follows the rules and plays well with others. We are proud of you Sadie!!

THe girls had a good time making wedding cakes in the backyard. The sun finally came out and actually stayed out ALL DAY! They played outside for hours. It was wonderful!

Bonfair BMX

Here is an old shot I found deep in the archives. Now that my boys are all riding two wheelers, it often reminds me of the times we rode all over town on our bikes. You've got to love the old Mag wheels.

REALITY SETS IN!

Nikki just received a belated (on back order) Merry Hannukah present from Grandma Jay and Grandpa Irv...Wedding cake knife and server with their names and wedding date engraved on them. October 6th, 2007 is now engraved...

Weekend with Dad!

Ryan came up for a really quick visit and to attend the Salem-Keizer district job fair. He said it went really well and I think he looked very snazzy in his new suit. We are having a great time with him..playing playdoh, riding bikes and just hanging out. He has to leave tonight (sunday) but we're lucky that he'll be back in just 4 short days for a four day weekend!!! Hope everyone is doing well back home and enjoying the nice weather!

ps...Thank you Knight family! Awesome!

100th day of school

Today Sadie celebrated the 100th day of school in her kindergarten class. They had cupcakes and made these cool hats. She's been having fun at her new school and has made lots of new friends. Her teacher's name is Mrs. Starr and Sadie thinks that name is pretty cool. She's looking forward to visiting her old class and seeing Ms. Festa when we are down in California in May.

A warm day in Salem

We had a really beautiful day yesterday in Salem. The girls went crazy outside running around and practicing their jump rope. It felt like it was 80 but I think it was only around 65. We were working in my sister's house but it was such a nice day we gave in and quit working for the day to play outside. All the bulbs are starting to bloom and it's starting to look like spring is on its way! Yea!!!

We all had a great day in Oatman. The donkeys really loved eating those carrots.
