My new favorite coffee shop is now Bloom coffee shop in Roseville, where Teaz Me used to be over by Costa vida and Paul Maritns. Two guys that go to Bayside church just opened it. The coffee compares to Temple coffee and Naked lounge coffe in Sacramento it is very good. Here are some pictures of the kids my Dad took while we were there.
We spent Christmas day at my Mom's house. She had us over for breakfast and presents with my immediate family that morning. Then her extended family came over for dinner. We had 6 kids asleep up stairs at different points of the day and about 26 adults and older kids all down stairs it was a full house, but very fun. Dominic Roman and Kate had matching pajamas my dad got a really cute picture of them all on the stairs. I have to get some of his pictures because I had none of my own children I guess all I got was my Mom's house what was I thinking. I will have to post more later.
On Christmas Eve we spent the whole day with Mark's family we started out having lunch at Paul Martins for Barbara's birthday, and then went back to there house for dinner and presents. The boys had so much fun.
Wow it has been a while since I lasted posted. Here are a few pictures of Thanksgiving at Mark's parents house. This was the first year I did not spend Thanksgiving with my family my parents went to Hawaii for my sister Jaclyn's last volleyball tournament with Cal poly. It was a nice day spent with Mark's family.
After we took the kids trick or treating we drove them over to Mark's parents house where they spent the night until Sunday. We left at 8:30 and drove to Stockton where we picked up Jenny, Dave and Kate, then we continued all the way to Huntington beach. Mark drove the whole way Dave kept him awake with Francis Chan sermons on his ipod. Jenny and I took turns sleeping in the back while Kate slept the whole way. We arrived at Nichole's house at 3:40 in the morning. The next day Nichole and Joel took us to Crystal Cove for lunch on the beach. Later that afternoon we drove to Breanna's wedding, which was really nice. The next day we went to their church Rock Harbor, and out to lunch from there we drove out. It was a nice weekend without kids accept for baby Kate who doesn't count yet. The boys had a blast with Barbara and Leo and my Mom and Dad. I was excited to get back to them by the end of the weekend.
The boys loved being a cowboy and a cow for Halloween. We got a jack a lantern pizza from Papa Murphy's that night for dinner. The kids loved going around the neighborhood and getting candy Roman would not let go of his trick or treat pumpkin for anything. It was a fun night!
