He and his friends had an awesome time!!! They stayed up until about 2:00 a.m. I fell asleep long before that. Woke up at 1:30 and told them they had another half hour. They said they went to sleep. Who knows. Up at 8:00 the next morning and back to the video games!!! Then we went to lunch and the Power Station which is a video arcade and laser tag. Yes, I get mother of the year!!! Tanner said!!! He did have an awesome time. I'm thinking for his birthday

Our first vacation with just the two of us!! Had an awesome time. Went to Legoland on our way in. That was just okay. Tanner thought it was sort of fun. We headed to our hotel on the beach in Oceanside. The hotel was brand new and we reserved a studio suite. It was spectacular. Tanner never wanted to leave. He wanted to just stay there so we never made it to Sea World. Oh, well. We just sat on the beach; he boogie boarded every day and we just relaxed. Watched movies in bed; played pool; and ate. Never drove anywhere. We took the train to a Padres game!! Had awesome seats!!! Found a great place for breakfast. In the picture is an actual cinnamon roll!! Yikes!!! Best vacation ever!!!

She lives on the Mission Viejo lake. What a life?? We had a great time. Don't you love this pool? It is an infinity pool; it looks like it is part of the lake.

Of course, I saw his teacher there. She began to tell me how she feels that Tanner is really maturing - finally <ggg>. Then she gave me an example. She said that -- well, a little background. There is a boy in Tanner's class who is somewhat challenging. He has had a lot to overcome, and he has a very hard time in class and making friends with the other students. I feel like every day I am encouraging Tanner and explaining to him how important it is to reach out to kids like "Sam." Of course, he gives me a tirade of how mean the boy is and every other excuse. It is not unusual for the boy to get in trouble and if there is a toe-to-toe with another child, it is most likely "Sam" who started it. So the teacher explains that Tanner and Sam were having words and a little physical activity. The teacher disciplined Sam. I feel so sorry for Sam. Anyway, Tanner corrected the teacher and said, "Mrs. Frig, it actually was me who started it." I had tears in my eyes. I have never been so proud!! Sometimes they really are listening to you.... Thanks for listening...... I love my guy!!!<br /><br />And so today I am thankful for:<br /><br />my son....<br />his honesty <br />his school<br />and God for guiding us both.....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3959353297957879967.post-12270967696030530052008-05-02T22:45:00.001-07:002008-05-02T22:46:31.866-07:00<div style="WIDTH: 360px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><embed src="http://w250.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w250.photobucket.com/albums/gg242/cravenscroft/First Holy Communion/fe2abd9e.pbw" width="360" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed><a href="http://i250.photobucket.com/redirect/album?action=slideshow&landing=/slideshows&type=2" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3959353297957879967.post-16347236885148210642008-05-02T16:03:00.000-07:002008-05-02T16:56:19.790-07:00First Holy CommunionTanner's First Holy Communion was a very special day. We attended Mass at 10:00. We spent time before and after taking photos as you have seen. And afterwards we celebrated with our family at Goofy's Kitchen, Tanner's favorite restaurant. We had an awesome brunch and then off to Disneyland. Where else??<br /><br />As for my handsome son's suit, for that we went to LA. I had seen the suit online for $400+ and that was definitely not an option. So I searched high and low for an alternative. Of course, still focussed on the suit I REALLY wanted. A friend from school mentioned a place she had found her son's suit at in LA and off we went. And there it was the first suit, the first store. $90. He tried it on, and wow he looked Awesome!!! Of course, all he wanted to do was go home, and I just wanted to stand and stare at him. Paid the man and off we went. Well, quick stop to the tailor there (another recommendation from my friend) and for $4 had the pants hemmed. Pretty easy actually.<br /><br />My cousins are now ending their posts with what they are thankful for. I love the idea so as usual I will follow their lead. They're too smart.....<br /><br />And so today I am thankful for......<br /><br />God in control of my life<br />My friend Vic who always reminds me God is in charge<br />My son!!!<br />My ability to make a living working mostly from home<br /><br />Thank you, God!!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3959353297957879967.post-89860819370284395542008-03-30T21:08:00.001-07:002008-03-30T21:12:01.265-07:00Bathtub Picture<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHP_OdZWNBDzcXnk2LTUY1lvbAY_MZAqFIjzv3KRHKvW_OTcxvx4JIEGfAiSCmyY1x4pHQnzhnBYi5-7boNMPxN5n6OzduaBE4hIyYVgBKiWJkUXVgn-DEy9DYyVsT4C4fTryX9vq_P5L5/s1600-h/Misc.+2008+032.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183753139747762898" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHP_OdZWNBDzcXnk2LTUY1lvbAY_MZAqFIjzv3KRHKvW_OTcxvx4JIEGfAiSCmyY1x4pHQnzhnBYi5-7boNMPxN5n6OzduaBE4hIyYVgBKiWJkUXVgn-DEy9DYyVsT4C4fTryX9vq_P5L5/s200/Misc.+2008+032.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">Bathtub photo??

We ran with Tanner's school in a local 5K. Lots of fun. I actually thought I had ran it, but my time was 50 minutes; Tanner walked/ran and came in at 55 minutes. </div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDwyT2QbeLJ_mQeH3LY5n88RwPNfDvOaaDj5TaSR0i6SiQcqA5dTPWY3Yg4Y6ZwtKjj7F3Rvzm5s0PQOB_HLMR70NcRC2FfWYafGqcoPHFidkObst9-mc2G1jy0qXqgegbkMAF_PXcyKp2/s1600-h/Need+sorting+021808+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173289711459332594" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDwyT2QbeLJ_mQeH3LY5n88RwPNfDvOaaDj5TaSR0i6SiQcqA5dTPWY3Yg4Y6ZwtKjj7F3Rvzm5s0PQOB_HLMR70NcRC2FfWYafGqcoPHFidkObst9-mc2G1jy0qXqgegbkMAF_PXcyKp2/s200/Need+sorting+021808+008.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3959353297957879967.post-35734758116891064022008-02-24T00:42:00.000-08:002008-02-24T00:47:01.339-08:00Thought of the DayI have always loved inspiring messages that make me think about life, what it is about, where do I fit in, and what is my purpose? <br /><br />So as a new blogger, my newest distraction is looking at other blogs. Wow what an inspiration!! There are a lot of inspiring people and families out there. I found this one on a blog and loved it......<br /><br />Today we may find ourselves summoned to a task which we know is quite beyond us<br />"Me, Lord?" we quaver,<br />"Who am I?"<br />God answers, "I am with you."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3959353297957879967.post-38499972250410383392008-02-18T21:16:00.000-08:002008-02-19T08:27:57.061-08:00Tanner's 9th BirthdayTanner turned 9 on February 16th. We agreed not to have a party but to have a super fun-filled four-day weekend. I started by buying some inexpensive gifts i.e., Chaotic cards, Funkees, and small water toys. I attached a clue as to what we would be doing next. We started with a day at Camp James on Friday. Then an overnight at Camp James. I then picked him up in the morning, and we were off to breakfast on Balboa Island. A walk to the Peninsula included ice cream and two arcades!!! We then went to Newport Dunes to check out the cottage I rented for two days. Lots of fun, a little small, but lots of fun. I think we would have enjoyed it much more had it been in the summertime.<br /><br />Off to a surprise dinner at Dave & Buster's, another arcade, and a surprise visit from Auntie, Keegan, and Nolan. Had a great time. Then off to floor seats to see the Harlem Globetrotters. Great show!!!!! Back to the Dunes. Sunday morning we joined Victoria and Chad for mass and breakfast. Finally, back home. It sure felt good to go home and frankly, to quit spending money. <gggg>Monday morning was the last of the surprises. Back to Camp James for another day camp. More than anything, he LOVES Camp James!!! We are off to bed and back on track for our regular life. I hope this is a birthday he never forgets; I know I won't!!!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2
