Although we will not be "home" for the holidays to spend Christmas with our family...you are in our thoughts and we look forward to seeing you in the New year. Merry Christmas!

DRASTIC!

Ok..so the only word I have been able to come up with is Drastic! Last week we had some crazy weather hit Southern California...we went from enjoying 70-80 degree weather to 36 degrees and a TON of rain. It was crazy..now I know what all you Seattle people are saying...come up here, I have already gotten a lot of flack...however relatively speaking that is COLD for us warm blooded people here..where the sun always shines and we wear capris and flip flops 9 months out of 12...ok, I am sounding like a baby..but it was cold. The mountains too were absolutely beautiful covered in snow. This is a picture of the mountains we see out our window. I too this picture last Thursday in the parking lot where I work. It was awesome.

LAPD Recognition Day 2008

On Dec. 11, 2008 Dave was honored with a Life Saving Medal presented by the LAPD and Chief Bratton. It was an incredible honor for him to recieve this medal and stand by many other heros within the department present that day. The girls and I were really proud of him and I know the rest of his family was too. His mom and dad, brother and family from Arizona, his brother from San Diego and his sister and her family from San Diego came. He also had 3 of his fellow officers from the Unit come....the others were working. Those that came, Maggie, Louise, and Tony. We were all happy to see him recieve this medal for all of his effort. PS..since he was wearing his Class A Uniform, he decided to shave..but not cut his hair. It was an interesting look and definately got some attention!

First CSA Competition At Ayala High School

Abby and Abbie

The girls cheer team CSA participated in their first official competition. The girls had a bast and we had fun too. It was an all day event with cheer teams from middles schools, high schools and novice teams. The team took 2nd place in their division and qualified for Nationals which will be held at California Adventure in March. They have several more competitions in between including one at Knotts. They are working on new stunts and Abby is still a flyer..they want her to try and get her back flexible enough to do a scorpion..regardless..she loves being in the air and nailed all of her stunts at competition without falling. Yeah! On to the next event.
