Go Aztecs!

J is such a hoops fan and loved going to the superstar Aztecs game last weekend to amp her up for her own big game. Maybe she'll follow in her dad's footsteps and go to SDSU?

Swim school grad!

Finally, after 5 years, Jbird completed her Water Wise swim school and earned the coveted (spinner) trophy. The things that motivate when it comes from someone other than a parent... Can't wait for the next swimming and surfing adventures for this big fish.

First piano recital

Best buddy Emma, aspiring singer, actress, fashion designer and vet.
Minuet in G, Jbird Heit in her curled hair and holiday attire (a rarity) Sweet show and excellent progress for her first season in piano lessons.

Ho Ho Ho

J, fresh out of the pool after graduating her swim program that she's been in since she was 4.5, decided we should go to breakfast... well, Santa had no line, and I need my awkard pic.. sooo.. here it is. Ha. C had no issues yelling from the doorway of Santa's cottage "I want a Transformer, Merry Christmas!!" but not a real fan of the lap-sitting.

Baby's first headshot

Baby Heit wouldn't give us a high-five or uncross its legs during the big ultrasound, nice to see another stubborn kid following in my footsteps.... what are we getting ourselves into?! Do I need to do the boy/ girl poll?? Popular consensus is girl, but I am holding firm on boy. Due April fools. Really funny.

Jingle all the way..

C loved joining in Nana's classroom's Christmas caroling through the Village... Highlights were cookie pit-stop and mud puddle on route.

Good Luck, Wildcats!!

J is kicking off another great season of hoops as the tallest on her team, playing hard! Go, Bird.. (I have already been told to be quiet in the stands.. I GUESS I have a loud voice?? oh, god.)

Coach Kate

Loved seeing Kate as the PSU Vikings played the UCI Anteaters last weekend.. we miss you!

Grateful for family and the great outdoors

Not to rub it in for the rest of the country, I mean, we WERE wearing down jackets and beanies... but it was gorgeous weather at the beach for a fun and festive Thanksgiving week, 2010... full of tons of food, surfing, campfiring, biking, dirt and laughs

gearing up for sunsettrailer naptimeJ and her idols, Auntie Julia and buddy Kayla

Thanksgiving is not complete without him..

Yep, he came to the beach for our Thanksgiving week campout! I know, greatest craft invention ever, Thanks to Jeanette's dad, "grampa Kenny".

Little pilgrim

Spider legs

Jeez, her legs seem longer by the day.

"I'm Camping out"..

in response to "Where are you, Campbell?.." love his chosen objects to furnish his 'campsite' ??? Tech-deck ramp, Charlie Brown videos, markers and a guitar..comfy, C

give a 3 year old a phone to entertain himself

while we eat our dinner...

good eye, C.

sunglass sibs

"Avatar"

That's what he said as he painted (on his easel, I assumed) while I was changing laundry... (he's never seen the movie.. but obvi, he's seen commercials and heard about it from J)

Even at sunset...

Tito, the ice cream man, doesn't disappoint... (was kind of hoping for a bit of a reprieve with the day light ending so early.. but oh, no... not when we get 90 degree days in November...) never a bad time for a $2 popsicle.

Craving a little Gator drive...

It was music to the kids' ears when NanaB and Big Poppi were visiting last weekend and they wanted to head out to visit Anthony, Pat, Bob and Shelby at the 'ranch'...The girls think they're top dogs driving the 'gator' by themselves.. and good old-fashioned outdoor fun to be had while catching up with the fam.





everyone loves Vans in this fam
