Seascape Family Vacation!
















We had the best time at the Seascape resort! Katarina had a blast at the pool and beach. It was nice not having to worry about where to be at certain times. We just did whatever we wanted and had a relaxing time. :) Jeff was able to go golfing and Dina did a 6 mile Wharf to Wharf run during the trip. It trailed from the Santa Cruz beach board walk to Capitola! Her time was 1:36 (so she didn't exactly RUN the entire time). We are now home safe and sound and back to reality! This is one place we look forward to returning to!

We've hit the 7 year itch!

Yesterday was our 7 year anniversary! It just amazing how fast time flies. So much has happened over the years. We used to always make it a point to celebrate by taking a trip. Kids definitely redirect priorities. But, that doesn't mean we don't take time to remember the day we exchanged vows. Saturday night we were able to enjoy dinner at Elephant Bar au deux! That was a lovely treat to have a decent dinner not having to worry about kids. For our actual anniversary dinner we cooked salmon and rice. Dina made chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert. After the kids were put to bed, we enjoyed those with some champagne. Yum-O! :)

October Updates

Wow! Has it really been that long since we've added to our blog? Well, here's some of the stuff that happened during October.... Of course the kids went trick-or-treating! Katarina was Tinkerbell (her choice) and David wore his dragon costume (Old Navy has the cutest costumes). Dina's brother and sister-in-law invited us all over to their house in Stockton. It was fun to be able to spend Baby Maddox's first Halloween with him (and David's first Halloween as a Graves). Justin showed us around the neighborhood and the kids had a wonderful time getting candy! David's pumpkin after being carved! :) Katarina's finished product. She drew the eyes, nose and mouth! So, of course, it's a little small. :) But, she had fun! It's even better when it's their own design! Sunday, October 25, we took the kids to Dell Oso farms to the Pumpkin Maze. Lathrop/Manteca is known for its' pumpkins. While we didn't stay too long, the kids had fu

Christmas Miracles Do Happen

Yesterday we got some great news!  My husband was offered a position with another company.  It was a huge load off his shoulders, as he felt he needed to make more money for our family.  I had a scheduled OB/GYN appointment out of town (I love my doctor, so I will travel 20 minutes to see him).  Since the appointment was so late in the day, I asked my husband if he wanted to go out to dinner after I was done so we could celebrate his new position.  He agreed and we loaded up the kids after he came home from work and headed to Tracy Kaiser.  They waited for me in the car.  As I finished up and went to get blood work done, he text me that he had to call AAA.  Apparently the battery was dead.  Ugh!  By the time I was done at the laboratory, I headed outside and saw a tow truck already there.  Our Suburban was being jumped but it would not work. This tow truck driver quickly decided it was the alternator and was calling for another tow truck for us to take us home (so all 4 of us could f
