2009/2010 School Photos Have Landed!

This year, our school photographer gave us an option

to get our photos on a disc.

I signed up fast for this one!

So ... here they are ... my people ...

Sarah - 3rd Grade - 8 Years Old

Paige - 1st Grade - 6 Years Old

Nate - Kindergarten - 5 Years Old

Germs 101. By Nate Gorman.

Nate told me today that it's always a good idea to get lots of rest when you have a cold. He said that when you take a nap the germs get bored and they hop off of you and run away to find something more exciting to do.

Lots of Photos

I posted a bunch of pictures from the past two months on our regular website. I meant to write about everything on the blog but, obviously, never did!

We have had lots going on with our new school year and all of our outside activities. Our schedule gets lighter in November and I plan to have more time to keep this updated like a pro!

So ... you can go to our website by CLICKING THIS LINK. You'll see all of the pictures from the first day of school and a bunch of other stuff.

Have fun!

Quick Update

Oh, we have been busy little Gormans. We've had school things, soccer things, karate things, birthday things, and all sorts of stuff going on .... but, for today, you MUST CLICK THIS LINK to see what we did today!!!!!

I'll get to the other stuff soon. Promise.

San Diego ... Meet the Gormans!

We went to San Diego for our final summer vacation.

Honestly, the kids were excited for it but ... Frank and I were ... well ... a little burned out on vacations!  Seriously.  You might not think it's possible, but we were a little bit less than enthusiastic for this final vacation.

Lucky for us, beautiful San Diego changed our minds.  Within 48 hours of landing we were happy and relaxed and having a great vacation. 

We had a busy trip.  Uncle Chris, Aunt Lori, and Baby Henry came to visit us from Scottsdale.  Mr. Joe came to see us from L.A.  We went to Legoland.  We went to the aquarium.  We visited Aunt Joan in Dana Point.  We made s'mores on the beach.  And we, of course, spent all of our free time on the beach and at the pool.  

It ended up being lots of fun ... all the way until the flight home when some horrible family sat behind us and coughed relentlessly on our backs.  Frank, Sarah and Nate sat in front of the Typhoid Mary Family and they all ended up sick within 24 hours of landing.  

Poor poor Frankie spent this whole week knocked up with a terrible flu (swine, perhaps?) and Sarah and Nate are fighting off some nasty colds.  Arrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

You can see our vacation pictures if you CLICK HERE.  This link will take you to the first page (of 6 San Diego pages).  Feel free to click around to see the rest.

Happy day!

Happy day!

Iggy, Sweet Iggy!

Sarah got her wish and rode Iggy in the horse show. 

It was a very happy day.

Also, she recently moved up to a new level in her classes and was the most junior rider in her heat.  Still, she managed to get a third place and a very lovely compliment from the judge.  

She left there a very happy little lady!

You can see more horse pictures HERE.

Day at the Creek

A few weeks ago my kids, my friend, her daughter Rachel, and I went to a local farm for a picnic and some fun in the creek.  It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time.

The kids spent most of their time trying to find creatures in the water and were quite successful!

Have you ever seen such a HUGE crawfish?????  We thought they caught a lobster!

Our day ended when one of Rachel's shoes fell off and swam down the stream faster than we could move.  We chased it for a while ... with no success ... and ended up calling it a day.
