Freedom Walk

On Sept.11, we did the Freedom Walk from the Reagan Library to the park in Wood Ranch.

Some of the McLaughlins and Kemptons

Jacob

Miss Kenna

The crowd in front of us.

My THREE year old amazes me!

Matt put together a ramp for Jacob out of materials we were throwing away.

He is now doing tricks off the ramp or was until it died.  He turns his front tire sideways while in air.   Time for a daddy/son project.

Matt's Post!!!!! Sweet :)

So the wife took over posting on this blog that I started, and I felt liberated from the responsibility, after all it is a wife's responsibility to dress the family in cute clothes, take pictures, and post them for all to see... right??!!!  O.K., I guess I will help out. 
Here are a few of my favorite Family pics:

April 07 Hike to the Simi cross

1/20/2008.  Keline almost died from an ectopic pregnancy.  This day scared the hell out of me, I thought I lost her for ever...  and I didn't know how to do laundry. :(

Kel's a hottie, no matter what decade she dresses in. (this was a dress up party for her mom's BDay era)

Matt kickin trash and takin names @ Buzz Lightyear at Disneyland.  Keline finally gave up and started blocking my shots...

 Hiking the Puerto Rican rain forest 04/2010.  We could have lived there, but Keline said no. :(

One of my all-time favorites.  I call this "Twins"

I love my fam, we are the awesomest.  :)

New Job

School in Simi Valley starts tomorrow Wed the 25th of August.  Last week I signed up to sub for a teacher at Valley View Middle School for the first 2 weeks of school as she finishes up her maternity leave.  So they had me go to the staff meetings held yesterday and today.  Well today I got a phone call about 8:00 am to see if I wanted a full time part time job.  That means be permantly hired this year to teach P.E. the first 2 periods of the day.  So cool.  That means I'm done at 10:30 am. I get to work and be a stay at home mom. 

An update for Matt...

Matt keeps telling me I need to update the blog.  I haven't really had much to put on here until now.  Still not sure why this is my job.

Jake getting his face painted as Iron man

He was a completely different kid with his face painted.  He wanted it removed as soon as possible.

Matt and Jake getting ready to go to the movies to celebrate Matt's Birthday.  Now we know it's illegal for Jake to ride on the vroom vroom.

Jake and Makenna trying on Makenna's hats

He is sooo cute.

Just too tired.

It's tough being a kid

Can't remember what she ate but she sure did enjoy it!

Happy Birthday Matt.  Gift from his mom.
