Halloween Decorations

Scott — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 03:33:02 +0000

Each year we add a little more. After putting up last year’s decorations we concluded we have a very wide house so the decorations didn’t go as far. This year’s decorations include 200ft of freight tape, 9 black lights, 8 spiders, 7 flying ghosts, 7 pumpkins, 6 bags of spider webs, 4 scary men, 3 strobe lights, 2 fog machines, 2 black cats, and much more. The whole front of the house is decorated. I have a few pictures, but it’s hard to get a the real feel for it through the camera.

Bishop Pumpkin Farm

We continued our yearly tradition of visiting the Bishop Pumpkin Farm. This year the weather was perfect. Not too hot not too cold. We went on a Monday so the kids the place to themselves. They all wore themselves out running up the hill to go down the slide over and over. See the photo gallery for pictures.

Knock Knock is Anyone Home

Yes we are around and someday we hope to get back to updating this page like we use to. Turns out moving with two little ones take a lot of time. Sadly we still have boxes to unpack and a long list of projects to complete. Though through all the fun we contine to snap some great pictures. I finally posted up all those pictures. Go to the photo gallery to see them

Life as a SAHM (stay at home mom in blog world)

Emily — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:15:20 +0000

Well it’s hard to believe that Courtney will be 11 weeks old this week, time really has flown by! She smiles and laughs all the time, she is sleeping for a straight 5-6 hours at night and has managed to escape any serious harm at the hands of her overly loving sister. Kaitlyn loves being a big sister but she doesn’t understand that Courtney is real. I often find my self saying, “gentle Kaitlyn” or “be nice Kaitlyn”. She is learning and has some really sweet moments with her sister. If Courtney is crying Kaitlyn will give her a pacifier or give her kisses and and say, “don’t cry baby”. She loves to hold her and likes to help with her bottles. I could really get used to this stay at home mom routine! Mondays we try to make it to the kids gym but getting anywhere by 9am is a little challenging. Tuesdays we go to story time at the library so Kaitlyn can “shake her sillies out” (this is a wiggles song that the kids love!) Wednesdays we go down to Rocklin and visit the family. Then the rest of the week we just hang out at home, unless I’m feeling adventurous. We definitely have our challenging days, and being the sole entertainment for Kaitlyn can be exhausting, but I’m really loving being at home with the girls. Going back to work in April is going to be really hard, why can’t we just win the lottery!

Courtney’s birth story

Emily — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 18:44:25 +0000

Courtney Ann made a grand entrance on 12/24 @ 7pm weighing 7.12 and 20in. When I went to the Dr on Wed, 12/23, and he said I wasn’t dialated at all so I decided we should go to Walnut Creek to spend Christmas Eve with Scotts family….bad idea! I started having mild contractions at 3pm, left the Creek about 4:45. We made it as far as Vacaville when we hit traffic and decided we better find a hospital because I might not make it to Woodland. We then quickly drove to the first hospital we could find only to be sent back to Fairfield since Vacaville doesn’t have a hospital with labor and delivery. I was checked in to Fairfield at 6pm, here I delivered our little Christmas baby at 7pm, ALL NATURAL since there wasn’t time for the epidural. It was a crazy delivery but we are all doing great! I did scare the crap out of Scott though, if he wasn’t sure about this being our last I think he is now!

Happy Christmas Eve

Scott — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 04:46:04 +0000

Welcome Courtney! Baby Courtney was born at 7pm on Christmas Eve weighing 7lbs 12oz and was 20inch long. We have quite a story to tell about her birth. For example why was she not born in Woodland like we planned. Why were we turn away from a hospital? Maybe we’ll post that story.

8335 LED Lights on One House

Scott — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 05:13:04 +0000

Thats right the total for this year is more than double last year. We added 30 boxes of twinkling net lights to the lawn bringing the new total 8335 lights. The great thing about these lights are they only use a total 425 watts which comes out to about 11 cents ever 2 hours. To put things into perspective our Christmas tree with 300 standard lights uses 305 watts.

Santa Clause is coming to Rocklin?

Scott — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 04:46:59 +0000

Santa visits Rocklin again. He is greeted with three more kids this year. The triplets to be exact. Like last year Austin got up there and showed everyone how it was done. Kaitlyn followed soon after and wanted nothing to do with the man in red. Sydney and Lucas also wanted nothing to do with him while the triplets who didn’t know better sat and pulled at his beard. All of them got a present from Santa so they were happy. We snapped a handful of good pictures. Sadly everyone had a camera so each kid was looking at a different one for the group shots. Maybe next year we will be more organized.
