A Moment In Time

This photo is from 1997 and shows all the kids in their Wham jersey's. It was kind of bittersweet to see the other day when I was browsing through the photos we had scanned. The reason is because just a week ago we took this hoop down. :( It never got used and had just become a place where the birds hung out and pooped on Jeff's car and he was getting really annoyed with that! So... there is a time for everything and I had to realize that the time for this had passed. But the cool part is that we still have the concrete base with the kids handprints to mark the time period.

The Fab Four

One of the things we wanted to do for Christmas for the kids and my parents was to go to an event together. We decided to go see the Fab Four at Celebrity Theater. They are a Beatles group that we saw almost 9 years ago at Disneyland. Jeff has never forgotten how realistic they were to the real Beatles and since he has always been a huge fan (of the Beatles) and influenced the kids that way growing up, they were all for it. Everyone had a GREAT time, even the significant others who weren't huge fans to begin with. The group changes outfits three times to depict the different era's and plays songs accordingly. Always the rebel, I was using the video on my camera, but was told I wasn't allowed to do that so I had to stop. You can check out part of one song. :) Anyway, we had lots of fun. Doing fun things and creating family memories is THE BEST!

Half Full

Well, my Dad is in the hospital for a few days. He has to be monitored while they figure out the dosage of a particular med to keep his heart in a proper rhythm. I spent some time there today and he is definitely a guy with a "glass half full" attitude. He was a happy camper with his ukulele and his computer with WIFI. He was even having fun checking out the menu until he learned he was on a low carb restricted diet. Not to worry. The food that came looked pretty good! Here he is singing in the hospital with mom humming right along! I love my Daddy and Mommy!
