I wish I had more time to post great entries filled with humor and happiness. But I like television too much, so that's what I've been doing lately at nite instead of blogging. With American Idol finally getting interesting, and the new show Lie To Me (have you seen it? It's brillant!), and of course my old favorite stand-bys NCIS and The Office, I've been way too busy (and exhausted by 8pm) vegging than blogging. Plus, it's easier eating snicker doodle cookies while watching tv rather than typing.
That said, I have a lot to post about. The most important is, we finally have family here! After 5 1/2 years of pleading and begging, we finally convinced Scott's bro Ross, his wife Maria, and their 3 kids to move to San Diego from Atlanta. Ross is working with Scott. They ended up 8 houses down from ours. All the kids love going back and forth. I love having family nearby. It's been so fun!!
So to further celebrate, Scott's parents came out for a week visit. We had them running back and forth between our house and Maria's house all week. We all went up to Disneyland for a day, and met up with Scott's other bro and family there. It was a rainy day, but it was great for Disneyland. We didn't have to wait at all for the rides. Caden rode Thunder Mtn (his favorite - it's a train!) 5 times. Definitely worth the rain and the poncho purchases. 
Soleil met Princess Jasmine for the first time. She was completely enthralled with her - or scared. You decide.
We completely filled up the "Small World" boat.
Grandma and Grandpa finally resting while little Carly slept. Those ponchos seriously came in handy!
Caden and Drew hamming it up for the camera. These 2 guys love playing together.
My dad and stepmom also dashed in for a quick visit. Jill and I unintentionally ended up gardening for hours - she has an incredible green thumb! My yard looks so much better! Thank you for always helping me with my house and yard! I love you!

Ok, I'm so jealous that you got family to actually MOVE here ... and then be on the same street. How did you do it??? That rocks!
I am so happy for you guys. Ross and Maria seem like really great people. I look forward to getting to know them even better.
I can't believe they live so close! I'm so glad for you to have family near by. Now if you could just get some grandparents out there. Just keep a bedroom open for the B&B.
that is so fun. i wish we moved into your neighborhood. and totally jealous about disney. i think i'm jonesin' as bad as miles is. :D
That is so exciting to have family close by! And down the street?!?! even more perfect, your kids are going to love their cousins so much, that is awesome. and how fun for scotty and ross to work together. Jeff wants to send out a big "hi" to ross and scott :)
I'm so jealous you have family here, I wish I could talk some of ours into moving here. They seem super nice too, and right down the street, that's pretty cool.
Yes, bundlets work!!
Lots of fun!! I'm excited to get to know Maria better. Also, Jasmine at Disneyland--we don't have pictures with her(everyone else we do)--very neat!!
