Year End Sporting Events
The girls have different tastes when it comes to sports. Brianna loves softball, and had a wonderful second season, as her team won the championship. They were awarded with humongo trophies!


Karinna's class went bowling for their year end party. Karinna surprised us as she bowled a strike and got the high score! She even beat her dad!



Marissa completed her second gymnastics class. This time around was much more fun than the first, since she took the class with her cousin Ashlyn and her friend Lauryn!

Why We Love Foster City

I spent quite a few years in the 70's growing up in Foster City. I used to ride my bike all over town, play tennis and rollerskate in the nearby parks. Even as a young child, I remember wanting to eventually come back to live in Foster City. Well, the Lord made that possible by helping us purchase a house during an optimal buyers' market! Steve and I have lived here for 14 years now and we love it here! Most of our closest friends are here; most of our favorite stores are here (Costco, Target, Safeway, Ranch 99). Foster City has a small town feel without the small. We love that we can watch the annual fireworks display here, and enjoy the annual arts and wine festival...

The Final Four

Here's Steve and the final four! People constantly assume that we're waiting for a boy, but no! We are completely happy having four girls. As much as Steve loves all kinds of sports, he's just as happy helping the girls dress their Barbie and Polly dolls!

Father's Day Service

On Father's Day, the girls sang at church. They sang a praise song called "Just Like You" (oldie but goodie) which hopefully encouraged all the dads (and the rest of us) to strive to be more and more like Jesus. Their intro went something like this...

Brianna: "When I grow up, I wanna play baseball like Barry Bonds, 'cause he's such a great baseball player."
Karinna: "When I grow up, I wanna paint like Vincent Van Gogh, 'cause he's such a good artist."
Marissa: "When I grow up, I wanna be like my daddy, 'cause he's so much like Jesus."

When I figure out how to add a video clip here, I'll include it!

Dolls and Babes

I thought it'd be fun to see how much Cali has grown compared to her faux friends. My original intention was to take monthly photos of Cali and friends, but I was only able to get photos at 3 months and 8 months!
