It's been to long!

It has obviously been established that I can not stay current on what is going on in our life. It has been over a year since my last post, but hopefully this year will be better. I am not sure how to get the christmas background off the blog, so oh well. :) Cole is 5 now and Vaughn will turn 4 next month. They are both attending Mission Viejo Christina Prechool and are loving it! Cole is excited to go to kindergarten next year, but to me that only means he is growing up! I am still working at the high school and Steve is now a CAD Engineer at Display Works. We have had a tough winter with the boys getting sick, especially Vaughn. Other than that we were able to spend some quality time with extended family over the holidays, take a trip to the snow for some sledding, see some christmas lights and just enjoy the season. We were sad to see The Tupou family move to Alaska, but we wish them the best and hope they return soon. The boys really miss their cousins!

Now we have all settled in with the new year and the boys are starting T-ball. It turns out that they are on the same team. They are very excited! The weather is like summer right now and just being outside is great. Yesterday we were surrounded by family and friends as we said goodbye to Auntie Stephanie and Uncle Karl and baby Lily (for a year anyway). Karl is on his way to Kuwait and Stephanie is moving in with her dad in Texas while Karl is gone. All of our OC family is now gone! :( We pray Karl will be safe and are so grateful for his willingness to serve our country.

The boys found the perfect pumpkin and had a blast! Darth Vadar and Iron man brought home the loot after trick or treating. They really understood the concept this year. :) We also had a new nephew (Jaxon) and new niece (Samantha) born in September and October.






Cole turned 4 on October 5th and celbrated by having a super hero party! We had family and friends over for the festivities. Cole also celebrated his birthday with his classmates and was the special helper for the day.










In September we made a few trips to Mission Lake, attended Heather's Murder Mystery party (Steve got to sport the mustache) and have a alot of family time!








Cole started preschool this past September at Mission Viejo Christian Preschool. He is in the Froggie class and loves his teachers: Miss Jennifer, Miss Jen, and Miss Allison.




Palm Desert has become a tradition and this year the boys really utilized the pool and water slide! We had such a fun and relaxing time spending quality time as a family!






We had fun going to Northen California and Orem Utah for Brenna and Xander's baptisms in July and August. We got to visit with family and friends providing great memories! We even visited BYU, though the boys were very grouching!
