Finally a blog update!

 
Wow, it's been about 9 months since our last blog entry.  Well, I added the above slide show for you to see some of our different activities.  It has been a busy year for all.  Here is brief overview for of each of us.   Corban is finally finishing off school and  it's taking a little longer due to kids and working full-time ( and no he won't be a doctor when he is done).  He will be walking in May and officially graduating in August. YEAH!!!!!  We're very excited.  He continues to work at the DMBA.  Well, I took on a temp Supervisor Job at JetBlue during the Summer.   Since then I haven't had much time.  The good thing is that  I was able to get more sleep.   Our best news is that we are expecting our 4th child.  Most days we are very excited about it and then we other days we wonder "What were we thinking !", when we have all three kids screaming and crying at the same time.  This past Thanksgiving we drove out to California to spend it with my brother and his wife.  We had lots of fun, we even took the kids to Disneyland and they loved it.  We took our picture on the beach for our Christmas Card.  Then our computer broke, so we were only able to send half of  them out because we didn't have addresses.  So if you get Christmas card in March, you will know why.
 Sydney is doing great.  She is in Kindergarten and loving it.  As you can see she has glasses now.  She looks adorable in them, even total strangers stop her, to tell her how cute she looks.  She also got her ears pierced this year and she thinks she's hot stuff.   This past fall she played soccer and she was pretty good.  Corban and I were surprised at how aggressive she is on the playing field.  

Little Corban is in his first year of pre-school, which he loves too.  I recently found out that he is the "influencer/troubler maker".   He influences everyone else in his class (mostly not to listen to the teacher).  The other parents were talking about how their kids constantly talk about Corban and know his favorite ice cream and stuff.  Yes, he too is very out spoken for his age.  Corban also did soccer this past fall.  He didn't like it as  much as Sydney, he thought it was too much running.  He stated he wanted to play baseball instead.  He did score two goals though.  For Christmas he receive a skateboard and now constantly ask when he can go to the skate park.  We are positive we will be visiting the emergency room this year to fix a broken bone. 


Lastly, is Rachel or aka "Princess Mo" or the "French Fry Princess".  She has definitely gained her own voice in our family.  She is constantly telling her siblings to get out of her room .  When she first said princess it was just like french fry, which is the reason why she has became the French Fry Princess.  She also  does not pronounce "no" correctly, she states "mo" instead.  And because she is two, we hear her say "mo" a lot.  She loves learning and playing with her siblings and is doing great.

Well, that's our update, hopefully we will blog again soon.  Love you all!

Kids are looking so cute! Syd looks exactly like Kriston in her glasses. I love her outfit (headband included) for soccer. We could tell Corban would be a troublemaker when he was here at Thanksgvg. =) Rachel's hair is coming back!

Yeah, Syd did her own hair for soccer because I was at work when she went. She thought she look great. I'm so excited that Rachel's hair is coming back. We can finally do some other hair styles with it and you don't even know how uneven it is.
