In about an hour, we will be heading out the door----- destination Anaheim, California!
We are going to Knott's Berry Farm and the Pirate's Dinner Adventure!
We have been busy, busy busy around here, so I am hoping this mini-vacation will bring us all back together.
This week was parent-teacher conferences and I walked away feeling proud of each and every one of my kids! They are all doing quite well!
Caleb is the new class president of his school--- can I hear a round of applause?!!!
Julia scored a perfect score in the math section of her STAR testing-- what an accomplishment!
Next week we will be celebrating not one, but two birthdays!
John got his very first pair of everyday glasses this week.
I experimented with the good ol' Tollhouse cookie recipe by using equal parts regular flour, soy flour, and whole wheat flour. At first the batter tastes and smells funny from the soy flour but after it rests, my kids said the cookies tasted the same as the regular. Plus, the cookies were healthier and had more fiber-- yum!
** Dear Lord, I remember the 9/11 attacks, as does everyone else I am sure. Today many people are hurting as they think back to that awful time. Please be with them. Amen.

Sounds like fun!! With your cookies... try adding flax seed INSTEAD of eggs for even more fiber!! I do this almost always now and nobody even knows.... the chocolate hides everything :)
It sounds like a lot of fun.... I am confident that your "togetherness" vacation will work better than mine!
Have fun, hope that you all enjoy some family bonding time.
What good reports on the kids!
Horray for Caleb and Julia!
And horray for Knott's Berry Farm!
Haven't been there in years.
Enjoy some boysenberry ice cream for me. :)
Hey you are going to be in our neck of the woods! Enjoy your time at Knott's Berry Farm! Soak City is fun too if you have the time. It is going to be hot!
Have a fun weekend in Anaheim.
I went to Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland in Sept. 1971 when we moved from CT to CA so my ex could go to grad school at U of C in Berkeley.
Congrats to the kids for their good week and happy birthday to the 2 celebrating this coming week.
Hey that's funny. We just moved to Fullerton. What a small world! I added you to my google reader!!
Congratulations, Caleb & Julia! Hope you all have an awesome vacation together.
Anaheim! Knott's Berry! When I lived in La Habra I went there all the time. Have a lovely time!
I LOVE Knott's!!! Take 2 X-tra strength Tylenol before riding the roller coasters though - they are WILD AND ROUGH!! :o)
Stopping by to say hello! Fell off of blog reading the past couple of weeks. So glad you are having fun together! HUGS!
Enjoy your vacation, and CONGRATS to the kids on their accomplishments!! :)
