Koogler Family

I have been such a bad blogger.....we have been really busy the past couple of months and I haven't taken the time to upload or do anything with the photos we have been taking. I'm caught up now and things are a little slower, so to bring us mostly up-to-date,

At the end of October we had a costume birthday party for me and mom. Here's our yummy cake from Wal-mart.

Mom as Mary Poppins. I don't think I ever recall my mother dressing up for Halloween.

We played pumpkin bowling with these pins painted by DJ and Bailey to look like little ghosts.

Bailey taking a turn at bowling.

Mmmmm, monster blood punch made by me and Bailey.

Me and DJ in our costumes. I was a boxer girl and he was a referee.

Mom and I toasting our birthday with the monster blood punch.

Samantha as a cop.

Bailey as Tinkerbell.

Lovely Victoria.

I volunteered in Bailey's class one day for a cookie decorating contest. A crazy one and a half hours of 4th and 5th graders hopped up on extreme sugar high. I came home with ringing ears and frosting in my hair! :)

Bailey and her entries.

Brandon with his entries and one of the pirate eye patches we brought to share with everyone.

We took the bug out for one last ride before we sold it. :( That was a hard day for me. I cried!

Our wedding rings in the bug. I hope we always remember the special date we had taking the bug to the dunes in January '08.

I can't do much without the requisite shadow shot.

A cute shot of Samantha a the dinner birthday party we had for me and mom at Applebee's.

On my actual birthday, a breakfast biscuit from Bailey complete with birthday candle.

My "birthday present", a Ranger. Yeah I know it's not really mine, but we had a good time on my birthday buying it and taking it out.

The girls (Victoria and Bailey) and I moved up to Dixon. A shot of Bailey and I on the road:

We rented an awesome house in Dixon.

The girls and I took a trip to SFO. The girls in front of the Boudin Bakery.

Victoria with her chili bowl.

The girls and Big B at the candy store.

Bailey worked really hard on her Hawaii report.

Somewhere in here the girls and I had a Thanksgiving at home with us and Brandon and Shelley then we drove down to Candy and Shelly's house in LA for a family dinner. DJ and I left from there to come back to Yuma to pack up the house to drive it up to Dixon. I have a few photos that I may dig up later and post on here.

DJ found a hog he wanted at Costco. ;)
