A Finished Product
Well, as some of you may know, I love to sew. However, with the demands of being mommy, mommy, mommy.....I don't get to very often. Luckily for me a friend started a sewing group and I am able to go every other week to her house and sew with friends and get my projects done. Mom bought me this kit before Hanna was born and I had every intention of finishing it before she got here but that did not happen. However, a year later it is complete and super cute. She does not seem to be all that excited about it right now but I'm sure she will grow to love it...right??? Seth and Cali seemed to like it. :)
Karate Seth June 2009
Seth has been taking karate now for 2 years and he loves it. He just advanced to purple belt this summer and he couldn't be more proud. It is so cute to see him so confident about something. He takes the classes through the Santee Rec Center and they do a great job with the kids. We have been very happy with his progress.Keep up the good work Seth. We are so proud of you!
Camp Grammie Aug '09
Mailee came over a little bit on Saturday and the kids played in the blow-up pool.
Here are the kids and papa finding the treasure!

Papa opening his birthday gift from the Knoops...I guess Hanna was not happy that we gave away the chocolate bar.
Here is Cali with a small basket of tomatoes as a gift for a neighbor. Grammie thougth it would be a good lesson.This was Camp Grammie 2009. The kids and I went to the Anderson's for the weekend and had a blast. The tent was up, the firepit was going and grammie had planned a treasure hunt for the kids. We cooked a dutch-oven roast Saturday night while the kids roasted hot dogs and made S'Mores. We sang campfire songs and played with our flashlights. The kids had a great time and I got to relax a bit (KC is still deployed).
Thanks grammie and papa for a fun weekend!
WWKCD.....if you have to ask then you are on the wrong page
Well, like last year, I spent my anniversary this year without KC....we both were sad about it. Thank goodness he was in port (Mexico) and we got to talk for a little. He also arranged for the Jenkins to deliver flowers to me and that made all the difference. The flowers filled our home with happiness and a reminder of KC's love. In fact, Danelle came up with the title (WWKCD) and I loved it. She had noticed my trash waiting by the front door to be taken to the dumpster and after she delivered the flowers she threw the trash away....thank you Danelle. So, later when I emailed her a thank you she said she noticed it when she was driving away and thought, "wwkcd", so she threw the trash out like she knew he would. What a great friend! That night the kids and I went to the Bickfords for dinner, which is what we did last year too. The Bickfords decided to make a tradition out of it. The kids had fun playing with Tiffany and I enjoyed Kathie's company. Thanks to good friends the day was not completely forgotten.
Happy 8 Years of Happiness Babe!!
Sea World with the Schallocks
Cali walking with the Schallocks after the Rapids ride.
The "wet" gang after riding the Water Rapids ride.We went with the Schallocks to Sea World (Fri, Aug 14) as our last summer fun day before school starts. We saw the sharks, shows and much more but the best was seeing the kids and Devin drenched after the water ride. They were cooled down for the hot day. Seth stayed with me and the little ones (hanna and luke). He said he didn't want to walk around all wet. Funny kid!
Fun at Baskin Robbins Tu, Aug 18
Hanna is truly a Knoop. She loves ice-cream...just like her mom and dad.
Cali showing off her "rotted" teeth. Yuck!
The kids and I went to get ice-cream tonight and we had too much fun.
KC is deployed right now and gone for a month. We took some fun photos in hopes that he would be able to see them while out on the seas fighting "bad guys".
Enjoy our family silliness!!!
