Littlest Elves

They are just too darn cute, they love having their picture taken and of course we take every opportunity. Luke is in the brown, Mace-red.
Mace-Left, Luke-right. Look alike or not???

Random moments

This was about my 3rd different attempt at a Christmas picture, kind of cute but Ty is taking the 'say cheese' thing a bit to far...
They all LOVE the bath. It now starts out with a 'sha-show' and they all stand under the shower, getting soaked & jockeying for position then we make it a bath. They are also huge fans of the foam soap, can't get enough of that fun stuff. At least Mason has stopped eating in!
Luke was intrigued by Eric's new Ipod, they all took turns listening and dancing around, funny how they can get a new cool toy and dismiss it right away but when daddy brings in the Ipod they are all fascinated for hours!!!

Christmas Dress

So Eric went to Escondido with Emily & Iven to get a new tattoo this weekend so I invited Julie, Tash and the kids over Saturday night, we had a blast, busy but fun & I invited myself over to my parents on Sunday night. One of the best things about living here is having them close 8 months a year. I know that anyone with kids would agree with me that having family close is so important!! Especially such wonderful parents & grandparets!! Thanks for everything Grandma & Poppa. I get to go over there, they help watch the kids, feed us, clean up, entertain the kids some more and get them some fancy clothes. We attempted to take some Christmas pictures and they looked so cute but I am still looking for that one perfect picture!! I have a girlfriend from home, Katie, who has two beautiful boys, one Ty's age & one two years older who always sends out the best Christmas picture, how does she do it????? Bribe them, sedate them?????? I am still on the seach for the perfect picture......Mason "Cheesing"

Only one game left....

Ty has only one game left and I have to admit I am going to miss soccer. Don't count on me saying that in 2 years when all 3 of them are playing but it was so fun, especially since he had so many friends playing and it was fun to see them outside of school and their parents as well. Here are a few more pictures of my future Beckham.....

Christmas Dinner

This past Friday we had our team Christmas Dinner. We went to Sullivan's Steakhouse, had great food & wonderful company. Afterwards Eric & I went to check out the new bar at Agua and make a contribution. Kind of generic but we get so few nights out that this totally counted as a date night for us and we made the most of it!!!

Soccer Star

Has it been almost a whole month since I last posted??? Seems to get so busy this time of year, each year more than the last. Ty is still playing soccer and his will turn 5 Dec 14th (still can't believe I have an almost 5-year-old!!!). He has loved playing soccer and here are a few more pictures of our future Beckham. Also a good picture of their 'teamwork'. He really looks foward to Saturdays (also a 'no-school' day) and we love to bring the twins along to watch.

The twins have been their usual busy 'selfs'. Or should I say 'elfs'? I am a little scared of putting up the tree, they have really been in the mischevious 'seek & destroy' mode lately but I guess we have to give it a shot since we didn't attempt it last year. Still really into "MY DO" which makes EVERYTHING more difficult and take longer, especially with twins but it is fun to watch them grow and develop their own personalities. Lukey if for sure very particular and Mason goes with the flow and always seems to be dancing to some random tune in his head, and singing along at that.

Ty's 5th Birthday Party

Bring on the Jedi!!! Ty wanted a Star Wars party and is facinated by Yoda. Emily drew a poster size Yoda and the point was to play pin the light saber on Yoda, it got so crazy that we did not end up playing but I am saving it for another play date. I made all of the kids light sabers out of half of pool noodles with duct tape and their 'Jedi' name. Ty was 'Yoda Ty', there was 'Mason Solo', of course 'Luke Skywalker', 'Magnus Vader' 'Drew Lea' 'R2 Deano', you get the point. The light sabers were a HUGE hit, it was getting the kids to not bash the heck out of each other that became the problem (for Zoe-it was chewing big chunks out of the noodle).
Luke & Drew having a laugh over dinner.
Ty really enjoyed the day which was the most important thing. He was so happy at the end of the day when we were snuggling & talking about the most fun things of the day, of course up there was presents, cupcake & pinata.
Singing & blowing out the candle.
This was the 'little kids' table, so darn cute to see them all sitting properly and eating, I beleive they were better behaved than the big kids!!!! Drew, Lola, Mason, Zoe & Luke.
