our house

here are some pics finally. We got new windows so here is a before and after pics. Hope you like. The new windows did so much to the house. This is the front of our house. Alot of blue I know. We are hoping to get it painted this coming spring. We took out all the hedges and now have landscaping. Richard built me a flower bed but it is not done all the was yet, so I will post those pics later.

james birthday

Well. "I can not believe it" as Quincy would say from little einsteins. James is 5 years old and in kindergarten. He is growing up so fast, we went to disneyland and had so much fun. Nana went, Alicias family also went. He is doing really good in school I think he is going to be good at math (just like his daddy). He is a sassy one, we really have to stay on top of him about it. The other night we were at dinner and Uncle Brandon was teasing Brooklyn, James stood up and got inbetween Brandon and Brooklyn and laid into Brandon about leaving his sister alone, it was a proud parent moment seeing him stick up for Brooklyn. He is truely getting older and wiser.

halloween

We celebrated Halloween a little early this year. It is now a Hasler family tradition to go to California Adventure and go trick or treating. It is really cool they have station set up that you can get candy and healthy treats, and you also get to go on the rides. It was so much fun. James was optimas prime (transformer) and Brooklyn was Tinkerbell. I really wanted James to be Peter Pan but he wouldn't do it. I always have to stop myself and say he is old enough to pick his own costume. We went with my sis and her family Noah was Mickey Mouse. Richard just wanted to concentrate on getting as much candy as he could and the rest of us just wanted to enjoy it. We came home with 5 bags of candy and Richard said "thats it?"
