Last VB game for Rebecca's season

Rebecca setting the ball.  If you double click this photo, you can see Rebecca's feet off the ground.  

Rebecca's biggest fan.  Nathan got hit by a spike.  It hit his knee.  It surprised him, there was a delayed cry.  He was fine.  Everyone felt bad for him.  His Grandma isn't quick enough to stop these hits sometimes.

Spooky Spider Family

Kevin, Amber and Nathan on Halloween night.

Nathan found a treat!

I really like the fabric Amber got at JoAnn's.  Simple costume idea.  Buy a couple yards of web fabric and cut a slit in the center of it.  Your now a web!

More Halloween Fun!

Spider in action

Nathan found his web.

Prop 8 Door Hangers

Getting organized with a bunch of addresses and door hangers to get to the doors of Redondo Beach Voters.  Don't forget to vote this Tuesday!  Yes on Prop 8.  

Thank goodness Scott is good with addresses.  We had fun in some winding streets and lots of hills and steps.  I'm not complaining.  Just a bit sore!

We had good weather, only a few drops of rain.  Beautiful fall day.

Happy Halloween!

Nathan was a spider and came by to visit with his mom and dad.  Rebecca had a VB tournament for the Varsity she had to go to.  It was her 1st Halloween not trick or treating.  It was a quite night.  We had a fair share of trick or treater's.  Becca was a 80's aroboics instructor.  She looked really cute.

Can you guess who Sandi and Matt are this year?

Clue....."The Office"

Clue.....Sprinkles

Clue......Assistant to the Regional Manager

OK.......Give Up......

Angela and Dwight Shrute

They had fun with it, and we thought it was great.

Spider Nathan with Grandpa.  He had a fun night trunk or treating with Torr. 2nd ward.  Heard they had lots of fun decorated cars.  I hear too...Nathan likes suckers.  He learned about candy this Halloween.  That darn sugar thing.

Beautiful Head Shape!

Did you notice?  No helmet! 

Nathan loves going out to the garage and pointing at all the balls and toys he wants me to get down.  Today this frisbee was the hit.  He's a happy boy.  Nathan and I went to the beach today and felt the ocean, it was cold.  Oh, it was beautiful though.  We had fun walking down to the waves and seeing all the birds and helicopters.

Amazing to me!!!

Sandi and Matt waved Yes on Prop 8 signs on saturday.  I asked Sandi how many with her and Matt.  Oh, just me and Matt and their dog Sharma.  I was impressed.  That took some courage.  She said they were on Western Ave. and 1st Street which is a busy street.

I just wanted to say, I'm proud of you both.  You went the extra mile in my book.  Wish I had a picture of the 3 of you out there.

Sandi said they got lots of positive response, as well as the usual mean comments.  I won't go into those.

Do what you can today for Yes on 8.

Yes we had a fun day waving signs for Yes on Prop 8

It was a very positive experience on saturday.  We had about 25 people show on our corner, which was Hawthorne Blvd. and Del Amo.  Lot of thumbs up and horn honking.  Lots of smiles and people thanking us for being out there.   Lot of people just walking by and wanting to know what Yes on 8 was.  We had one lady who took a sign home with her.  We told her to take it in at night cause it will get stolen.  She said she knew about that.  She takes her McCain/Palin sign in each night too.  We had some opposition as well.  I can only tell you, the opposition likes a certain finger signal.  They weren't afraid to use it. We worked from 12-2pm and we saw a lot of traffic.  This really was an experience.  Glad we could take a stand.  

Vote Yes on Prop 8-Sign Waving on Hawthorne and Del Amo Blvd.

I'm going to get this off, if I have to eat it off.

Please take this off!  Nathan is not liking the head piece very much at all.  

Mom do I have to wear this part?  Such a scary looking Spider.

Nathan, Rebecca and Amber, Trunk or Treating.  I know Nathan liked this part of the evening.  

Last picture of Nathan in Helmet!

Nathan upstairs in Ryan's room, holding Ryan's volleyball.  This picture was taken by Rebecca and will be the last time you see Nathan in his helmet.  He got the OK on Tuesday.  His head has shaped up nicely.  We will have to get a picture of him helmet free.  We love this little grandson, very much.  Did I mention, he loves balls.....any kind.  Play ball Nathan.

OUR PROP. 8 SIGN STOLEN!!!

HERE WE GO AGAIN....  OUR "YES ON PROP 8" SIGN WAS STOLEN LAST NIGHT.  WE HAVE BEEN BRINGING IT IN EVERY NIGHT SINCE WE GOT IT, TWO WEEKS AGO.  I'LL HAVE A NEW ONE TODAY, WITH A SECURITY CAMERA SET UP THIS TIME.   THE OPPOSITION IS TRESPASSING!

IN THE YEAR 2000 WITH PROP. 22 OUR SIGN WAS TAKEN ALSO.  I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE "NO ON PROP. 8" SIGN.  I WONDER IF ANY OF THEIR SIGNS HAVE BEEN STOLEN? MAKES YOU THINK WHAT THE OPPOSITIONS TACTICS ARE. SURE DON'T LIKE IT!

I KNOW "YES ON PROP. 8" IS DOING WELL.  THE OPPOSING SIDE IS PULLING AT SIGNS TO TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.  DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO WORK.  

ONWARD AND UPWARD WE GO!!!  FORWARD, PRESSING FORWARD!

  

So Pretty had to show them: Thanks Amber!

How cute are these little treats Amber brought over for a Sunday treat?  They are mini carmel apples.  She used a little melon scooper to form the apple shapes. Then dipped them in white melted chocolate and rolled them in crushed teddy graham (didn't have oreo's on hand), coconut and sprinkles.  She also used butterscotch chips instead of carmel for dipping the mini apples in.  They were a hit at our home.   They were little and easy to eat. They were yummy, they even felt like they were a bit healthy cause of the apple part.

Say good-bye to Nathan's helmet, today he got the all clear to be done with the head shaping.

He is going to miss that bit of protection this helmet has played in his life the past 3 or 4 months.

Sandi can't wait to try a treat.  Amber is explaining how she put these yummies together.  Can you find Nathan in this picture?  He is with his favorite Aunt.

NATHAN WATCHING ANOTHER VB GAME OF REBECCA

Nathan was in a trance watching the VB game against Peninsula High.  They lost the 1st game.  Rebecca didn't play in that game.  Second game they won.  They were leading the whole game.  Then the last game they lost by 2 points.  Rebecca played well.

Here is Rebecca getting ready to block.

Her West High School gym.  Can you find Rebecca?

Grandpa came and watched for Rebecca's second game.
