First Day of School!


Naomi's teacher.

Can you see our backyard?!



Maddie has a male teacher and unbelievably he lives across the street! He could not be a more perfect teacher for our Maddie especially when we watched him drive around the neighborhood in boots, a cut off t-shirt and on his Harley! Maddie thinks he is so cool.
Michael so badly wants to go to school with them. Poor kid!

Naomi was so excited!

I wanted to take more pictures of Maddie but she told me to knock it off because I was embarrassing her!

A new post at last....




Leaving our English class students was one of the worst things about leaving College Station. These are truly remarkable people whom I love and cherish. I will miss them!! They threw us a great going away party with the best enchiladas I have ever tasted! Here are just a couple of pictures from the party.

We're Moving

Well it looks like we are finally going to graduate from the student life to the post doc life.  Not much difference for those who are unfamiliar!  However Jared will officially be Dr. Jared Trefethen and we are excited!  Looks like we will be headed to Kansas.  Jared has accepted a position in a lab at KU in Lawrence.  We just went to visit a few weeks ago and I think it will be a great little pit stop for the next one to two years.  Who would've guessed Kansas???

A Walk Down Memory Lane...


I saw this on my on my sister's blog, and thought it was fun to reminisce a bit, here's a few instructions if you should feel inclined...

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

CMN Cookie Eating Contest

When Michael was little he was a miracle baby so as a family we work with Children's Miracle Network to raise funds for local hospital equipment. This particular event was more fun then work! Naomi and Michael entered a cookie eating contest. Naomi won her age bracket! She was the star of the evening news that night and proclaimed her star power for over a week! She won free cookies everyday for a year from the local bakery, just what we need!

CMN Cookie Eating Contest




He came in second but only because a lady cheated by shoving an entire cookie in her 1 year old son's mouth in the last second!

At the Zoo



The Zoo is so fun at this age! We went to the Santa Barbara Zoo. This is Michael pre summer haircut. Jared loves the buzz but I miss his long hair!
