Believe

I have a Christmas card that I keep on my desk all year round. The front of the card has one adult size angel holding a string of letters that spell B-E-L-I-E-V-E and in front of her (I'm assuming its a HER because she has rosy cheeks and long eyelashes) is a smaller angel holding a single star. I don't know why but this card touched me. To me it means believe in yourself and your future. Believe that you can do anything. Believe in other people. Believe in truth. Believe in love.

I'm not sure if my kids look up to me or are just looking at me like what the heck are you doing? "Mom, are you going to do that [work] forever???" It doesn't much matter as long as I can keep looking at them day after day after day.

I BELIEVE.

Too bad the Giants couldn't Cache in

We went to the Giants game in San Francisco on Sunday with the Cunningham's (John, Deb, Jack and Megan). They lost the game but the best part was Geocaching before and after the game. I had heard about it before but never done it. It's very geeky but sooo fun! It's sort of like a scavanger hunt and the Amazing Race combined. You use a GPS device to find things that have been hidden in places all over the world. The GPS gives you the coordinates and hints about the objects in your area. So its something you can do anywhere you go. We found a couple in San Francisco and then one more in Pleasanton 2 blocks from our house!

The GPS device costs about $200 bucks so I'll be adding this to our Christmas list (hint hint) unless we can't wait. The thing I like about it is that it gets the whole family out of the house and you can explore things and places that you wouldn't normally see. For example, you can image what would happen if I asked Geoff and the girls "How would you like to go for a 5 mile hike today???" I imagine that would go over like a fart in church. However, if your off to find a treasure in the mountains that happens to be roughly 5 miles, well so be it. Anyway, I don't have any pictures unforunately but just imagine the Fuller Four with big huge smiles on our faces. :-)

Jonas Brothers Concert with Camryn

Well I took Camryn to her first concert at the ripe old age of 9 (almost 10). She had a blast! And other than the way too expensive food, screaming girls piercing my ear drums and waiting over an hour for the little buggers to come out on stage I had fun too. Although some of the band members were young enough to be my sons! All in all I accomplished my mission of "not embarrasing" her. Little does she know how REALLY cool I am.

1st Annual Cope Court Softball Game - June 2008

Adults vs. the Kids. Ages ranging from 5 to 65. And I'm pretty sure the kids beat us. Not just in score, but I bet none of them were sore, injured or limping the next day. It was a lot of fun. And one thing is for sure, we are very lucky to live in this neighborhood. They aren't just neighbors - they're family.

Groovy Baby

I guess I'm having what you would call a writers block. But not really. I just don't have any freakin spare time to sit at my computer (more than the 80 hours a week I already spend on this damn thing) and think up witty stuff to entertain you people. I wish I did -- but I don't. You know I'm kidding right? So here's the deal. I'm gonna post one picture everyday with a little, and I repeat little, blurb explaining it. That's all. And at some point when I come up for air again, I'll start blogging my butt off. But for now, that's all she wrote.

Well not really. Cause I haven't explained the Groovy Baby headline. Geoff and I went to a 40th birthday for Mike Friedel on Saturday and since he was born in the 60's - that was the theme. Check out the cool hippies. Peace Out.
