Emily's New Skill

Last night, I had to laugh. I saw Emily do the perfect stereotypical sulk. I think I was trying to put a jacket or sock or something on her, she didn't want it, I set her down, and she turned away and STOMPED off about 3-4 feet. It was SO funny. It won't be if she keeps it up, but i had to laugh.

The Mandarin Festival

On Sunday, we all went to the Mandarin Festival in Auburn, with Sherri. First time we've been - it was huge. Almost takes up as much space as the Auburn Fair. Great time, ate lots of mandarins, we listened to small band from Ottawa, Canada play some jug band music - the kind my dad likes (and I do, too) and we picked up some decorations for our yard. The twins had fun dancing to the music, too!

My Guitar Princess

This is Ella with my electric video game guitar.

Some Photos from last weekend.

We had a lot of fun this weekend, and it was fairly relaxing. On Saturday morning, I watched ASU beat UCLA in a good game (except for the first kickoff return for a touchdown against my Sun Devils in 135 games). The twins raced around the living room (video below). Saturday afternoon, we had several friends over to make a wonderful Japanese feast (photos). Oh, and the dogs had a nice relaxing weekend, too. :)

The sounds of my daughter's laughter...

...has to be the best sounds in the world!

Nicole's Birthday

I have to be quick because I want to get out of the home office. Here are some pictures from Saturday at Nicole's birthday celebration! Ella was having a blast playing with Winter.

Halloween 2007

Yesterday was great! Yes, it was a little hectic after about 3:00 pm, but it was great. I was able to carve a couple pumpkins (I'm becoming quite the speed demon, if I do say so myself), the twins were in costume, they visited some friends around town, and we had lots (100+/-) Trick-or-Treaters. Here are some pictures from yesterday, and three short videos clips.
