Super Saturday

Our Super Saturday began with Kel and me up at 4:30am. She had to be at school by 5:00am. Sorry, no pictures at that hour. She was accompanying her team to Mt. Sac for the big Invitational. She was not running this weekend. (Congrats to our awesome Girls' Cross Country Team - they finished 1st in Div 1).

That was followed by Tabby's 8:00 soccer game across town. She had to be there at 7:30.

She had a stellar game at goalie and even had the mud on her uniform to prove it! She blocked a PK in the 3rd quarter which was AWESOME!

After Tabby's game it was time to go back across town near our house for Jake's flag football game. The Chargers won!

It was then off to the Paloma Fall Carnival, the last one for the Molstre family. We haven't missed one in the last 11 years! My little man became unrecognizable, really. He walked right past me and I didn't know it was him!

The new black-haired, mustache bearing Jacob!

Our friends, Brooke and Dave, absolutely love Halloween. They host a Halloween party every year for families. The one requirement is that we dress up (not my favorite, but for Brooke...)

Steve especially LOVES to dress up...NOT! I picked up a $5 headband and tail at Walmart for my cat costume (or mouse as the kids kept calling me). MR. Halloween decided to be a construction worker and wore his best construction company t-shirt and hammer.

Jake kept his colored hair and dressed in his "best" hobo outfit. Tabby was a witch and Kel a football player.

Brooke has so many Halloween decorations in her home. It was definitely fall in there, even with the 85 degrees outside!

Kelsey and neighbor friend Cheyenne helped out with the little guys' crafts.

Now we are home, relaxing, watching "King Kong". At least tomorrow we have football to relax to!

Just when we thought the fun would end...

Jake had his second visit to a neurologist today. The first was about his headaches, which they think are juvenile migraines. Today was a follow up to see about the involuntary arm twitches he has. Steve took him last week for an EEG, which we found out came back normal.

He was patient and listened to all the questions the Dr. had for him. She was very thorough, had an hour long exam! The diagnosis? Probably a tic, but not positive. He has to go back for an MRI and blood work (just waiting for insurance approval). The fun never ends!

Tabby's Birthday

My little girl turned 10! I remember my mom saying I could never get any older than 10 and now I realize why. Tab wanted a sewing machine for the big day, what every girl wants!

She had a few friends over to swim and paint.

Tabby made this creation with some balloons she picked up.

For our activity the girls painted wood letters for their first initial

North Island San Diego

We headed to North Island Naval Station with Tim, Steve's cousin's husband, for Fleet Week. He is in the Navy and stationed in San Diego. We brought Jake along and knew he would have a ball. This is the ship that we toured. It is the newest one in the fleet. It hasn't even been commissioned yet.

The Marine Amphibious stuff was there since that is what this ship carries. Jake was very intrigued, as was Steve.

They got to climb in and test the vehicles. Steve even started this truck.

Jake learned how to work the guns and was able to shoot them, bullet free of course.

He tried on the bullet proof vest and helmet, minus the lead.

A beautiful view of downtown San Diego from the ship.
