US Navy League Sea Cadets Christmas Party, December 6, 2014

JO's (AKA The Junior Olympics) in Morgan Hill, CA - December 5-7, 2014

Rea qualified for the JO's!  And it happened to fall on the same weekend as the Sea Cadets Christmas party.  So Daryle and I decided to divide and conquer - He took the girls for the weekend and I stayed home with the boys.

And Miss Rea Sunshine came home with lots of medals!  Way to dominate!

Queen Hatshepsut

 Rea's class hosted a "Walk Through the Ancient World" in December.  She came home from school and did the "I need a costume by tomorrow" thing.  (Not to fear, I invented that...)  So we dug in the closet and found my dancing skirt from Pettisville Missionary and blinged her out in lots of fake gold jewelry!

Random Pictures...

Rea and I are just goofing in the first picture!  The bottom picture is a house across the street from the kids' school.  It's just a head-scratcher for me....  It's a beautiful mural, but on your garage door?? Ni'ke suggested that maybe their last name was Lions.  Good theory.

Rohnert Park Piranha's Swim Meet, November 2014

Halloween at Memorial!

 Vince out-does himself every year - and this one was no different!  Awesome robot outfit!  And later he changed costumes, and he and Karen were Cheech and Chong.  Hilarious and entertaining!
