Okay....here goes....

I've been helping my kids get from place to place & taking photos of their activities

but I've managed to come down with a nasty head cold

that has put be behind on doing anything with said photos, until today.

Elena has asked what's up?

...so I guess I'd better do a little catching up.

All this happened in September,

even though I'm posting it here in October.

Oh well, better late than never?

Dress up Day #1 from the Bible: Adam (with serpent) & Eve (pink wig)

 One of Jared's Senior Year Activities ~

Getting to DRESS UP 'his freshman' for Freshman Welcome Week!

    He has been looking forward to this for 3 years,

ever since he was the young'un getting decorated by 'his senior'.



Dress up Day #2 Cartoon Charaters: Sylvester & Tweetie

  

Dress up Day #3 Safari Day ( lion & snake....they both had tails, but the photo doesn't show it)


 

Dress up Day #4 Red & Blue Day



 Audra's Dance Demo Team performed at her school's carnival

where she danced the East Coast Swing & The Cumbia (a native folklorico partner dance).

She really did a wonderful job & her ballroom dancing was fun to watch!

Can you tell I enjoyed taking her picture? Surprise, Surprise.



A couple of weekend's ago we went to Anaheim for one of Jared's water polo tournaments
...it was a Great Excuse to visit with my Aunty Lynn & Cousin Kerri!



Collin, Gary, his folks: Bob & Fran, & my Uncle Richard!

They all came to watch Jared Play! (He felt SO joyful about that!)

...then we spent the last night of the weekend at Kerri & Gary's House

with all the nearby family joining in too!



COUSINS! (2nd or Once Removed...I can never remember which it is?!?)

Such Blessings!



SJM took 2nd (on a penatly shot in sudden death OT)



The youngest 1st cousins...Audra (mine), Ike (my sister Jenise's) & Morgan (my sister Erin's)



Me & My Family!



The very next weekend was more water polo out of town...

and this time my closest blood relatives all gathered to watch Jared play his game

(for which more happiness insued)

and then we had a little dinner gathering for my dad.



Celebrating my DAD'S 70th Birthday!

and my final item:

Today is my 24th Wedding Anniversary,

for which I am Truly Thankful....

To my sweetheart, Louis for tolerating me throughout these many years

 & I remain ever hopeful that he can indure the 'until death do us part' part.
XOXOXO
