2012-01-31T13:37:00.000-08:00

We always have such a wonderful time at Mom and Dad's during Thanksgiving. The kids are really getting in to the spirit of each holiday lately. It was nice to see how they understood what a special holiday Thanksgiving is.

We are all so thankful for our health, the happiness we share, the love we exude for one another and our precious, precious family and friends whom we are so blessed to have in our lives.

Julia's Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast

2012-01-31T10:44:00.000-08:00

Julia had such a wonderful feast in her Kindergarten class. They made soup from scratch, corn bread, butter, and delighted in the tastes and smells of Thanksgiving as a class. Her teacher certainly puts on quite a spread for this event. It's always a special day and I'm so thankful Julia had the chance (just like her sisters) to experience it.

Our Little Golfers

2012-01-31T10:00:00.000-08:00

As long as they hit 'em straight, they are on the right track. Jack has done a great job getting the girls interested in the sport of golf. They really enjoy it. We are so excited to have them start lessons next year!

It's so fun watching them learn the game of golf. From teaching them the etiquette of the game to the lessons on how to swing the club...all around fun!

Austin Wedding

2012-01-31T09:41:00.000-08:00

Jack and I got to go to Austin in October for Jack's cousin's wedding. What a fun time. Austin is an incredible city. Highlights were seeing the family (of course), getting away with Jack just the two of us for the weekend, and a beautiful morning run around the lake while the crew races were going on.

The wedding was absolutely gorgeous and perfect from start to finish.

What a happy couple!

Our trip to the beach was too fun! Lots of splashing, plenty of shells and smiles all around.

It was great to be able to spend time together...it had been way too long!

A day at the beach always puts a smile on my face and an extra skip to the girls' steps.

Summer is going to be WONDERFUL!!!

I love my beach babes!

Here we are at the "Pet's Rule" show. Always a favorite of the kiddos.

Sea World Fun!

2011-04-10T16:23:00.000-07:00

Our Little Golfers!

2011-04-10T16:12:00.000-07:00

Jack has really gotten in to helping the girls learn the game of golf. They started out with their new putters last weekend at our local putting green down the street. Today, while the Masters were going on, he had them out in the backyard with their new little pink irons. Too cute!

They are getting the hang of it. It's so neat to see them so in to it!!!

And...they look cute while playing!

Great form, girls!

Folk Dancers

2011-04-09T19:36:00.000-07:00

This is just the beginning of something wonderful!!!

Fun Runners!

2011-03-12T12:01:00.000-08:00

Regan and Kelly both did a great job in their Fun Run at school last week.

They ran so hard the whole time and I was so proud of them.

I was one of the coaches for the girls' Kindergarten class. It was so fun encouraging all the kiddos to keep their legs moving for 15 minutes. They all did great!

They both ran almost 1 1/2 miles in 15 minutes. I can't believe how fast those little legs moved!

Daddy's Girl

Padres Fan Fest 2011

2011-02-12T20:00:00.000-08:00

Fan Fest today was wonderful! We got to do so many behind the scenes things at PetCo Park. Plus, as an added bonus, the 100th Anniversary of Naval Aviation was flying a 3 hour parade of planes overhead the entire time. It was the epitome of an "All American Day!"

And here they come...rounding the bases...

My favorite people in the Padres Dugout.

The Glue Crew!

2011-02-12T19:50:00.000-08:00

Kelly & Regan's Kindergarten class did a wonderful Science Fair Project this year together and it has TAKEN OFF! They are now official spokesgirls for the "Elmer's Glue Crew." Every glue stick or glue bottle that is turned in from the kids at their school earns the school $.02. Their class projected out that they could earn almost $1,000 if the whole school participated. Kelly and Regan both wrote speeches and presented their speeches to the entire school (almost 1,000) people last Friday. They did GREAT! They are natural speakers and were soooo confident. I was, beyond belief, proud.

Spectacular Golf Day

2011-01-29T19:39:00.000-08:00

On our way home from the Farmers Insurance Open Golf Tournament at Torrey Pines, we stopped off on the side of the rode and watched the balloons. Sooo cool. We were close enough to see the flames blasting above the balloon baskets.

Bet those people were thoroughly enjoying the spectacular views of another beautiful day in San Diego!

We chased this one to their landing...Quite the exciting landing...a little scary too.

Crazy to watch an entire course of a balloon ride and be at the right place at the right time to watch the landing.

The girls did such a great job today being mature at the golf tournament. They loved watching "Lefty," trying to get Tiger's autograph and giggling at John Daly's pants. It was so much fun to be part of the spectacle.

What a happy Saturday...from start to finish!!!

A Day at the Beach

2011-01-29T19:32:00.000-08:00

San Diego is the best place on Earth! We LOVE that we are only 15 minutes from the beach. We all had so much fun splashing in the water while watching the incredible surf and walking along with the dolphins that were in full view. What a spectacular way to spend a day!

American Girls

2011-01-29T19:28:00.000-08:00

What a great little trio of American Girls we have on our hands...they are quite the delightful little ones to watch grow up...which, by the way, is happening WAAAYYYYYY too fast.

Princesses

2011-01-29T19:26:00.000-08:00

Seems like, more often than not, we are on our way to yet another "Princess Birthday Party" for one of the girls' buddies. K, R & J have certainly mastered it.

Our Little Gymnasts!

2011-01-29T19:23:00.001-08:00

The girls are thrilled to be back in to gymnastics! Every Friday is a celebration as they enjoy it so much! They are learning by leaps and bounds too!

Holiday Bowl Parade and Corvette Diner...Fun times!

Jack broke out his Letter Sweater!

They did their best to cheer on Navy...

The new Razor scooters Santa brought were a big hit...and they still continue to be!

We had a great time over Christmas break together. It was a new adventure each and every day. We are lucky the girls enjoy spending so much time together. Between parades, cheering on bowl games, outside scooter rides, a little putting practice with their new putters and fun with family and friends, it all panned out to be a perfect Christmas break.

Just Another Day at the Beach...

2011-01-13T09:14:00.000-08:00

Christmas Eve

2011-01-06T10:09:00.000-08:00

One Dove, One Angel and One Camel. The Christmas Eve Pageant at our church this year went beautifully. The girls all did a great job in their roles.

It was such a wonderful treat to be able to share the holidays with Aunt Toodles (Ann) and Uncle Tony. They arrived on Ann's Birthday, Christmas Eve, just in time for the Pageant. It was so special to have them come all the way out here to spend Christmas with us. It meant so much to all of us!

Julia absolutely adores her Aunt Toodles. They are 2 of a kind!

Christmas time is a joyful time. If the girls could wear dresses every day, they certainly would do so. They were precious this year in their

Joyful Joyful

2011-01-06T09:49:00.000-08:00

Julia did a great job talking with Santa. She was in absolute awe over him this year. I am so glad the spirit of the season has enthralled all of our girls. They took in every single moment of it this year.

Having "Randy," our Elf on the Shelf join our family this year for the first time was such a thrill. What an exciting way to wake up on the right side of the bed every day! The kiddos can't wait for him to come back next year.

Gingerbread House Construction Workers

2011-01-06T09:43:00.000-08:00

The girls had a wonderful day of being architects a few days before school let out for Christmas break.

It was great that Julia got to help out as well...she is so excited to be in Kindergarten next year!

The joys of the season were certainly heard on this special day at school amongst the kids in the classroom.

Once the kids were done constructing, their teacher wrapped it all up in cellophane with a bow around it...it was a perfect centerpiece at home over the holidays!

Kelly and Regan are so incredibly lucky to have such an awesome Kindergarten teacher. She makes each and every day so special for every single one of her 28 kiddos!

Holiday Season Smiles

2010-12-14T20:37:00.000-08:00

A sampling of some of our photos from attempting to photo shoot our own family for Christmas!

Nothing like a little gadget that can be twirled around a rock to snap a photo of the family!

There are so many neat locations within a rock throw of our home to take some cool pics. A simple rock, a canyon and beautiful sky...plus lovely little girls...done!

Regan...All she wants for Christmas are her two front teeth!

Julia...always ready to strike a pose.

Girls all love their boots...would wear them 24 hours a day if they could!

Close ups of the kiddos...what precious ones!

The girls took this picture of us...not bad! We have some photographers in our family!

The Holiday Season is Here!

2010-12-14T20:10:00.000-08:00

The holiday season is upon us at the Pritchett House!

Shiner is such a trooper through it all...she is so happy to be so loved by her sisters!

K, R & J did a great job sorting through ornaments...so neat to listen to them recall the origin of certain ornaments.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

2010-12-14T20:03:00.000-08:00

We all had so much fun picking out our Christmas Tree last Friday. There were so many to choose from, but I think we got the perfect one! The kids had a blast running in and out of the Christmas Tree maze of trees!

This time of year is so very special. Love all the family time smiles we all get to have together!

Ready to take home and decorate!

Visiting with Auntie

2010-12-14T19:38:00.000-08:00

We had such a nice visit with Auntie when she came out to SD for Thanksgiving. The girls absolutely adore her. It's nice to see their relationship develop and watch the girls and Auntie discover all sorts of things about one another. I have never witnessed someone immediately make my girls smile from ear to ear...Auntie does that!...and when they talk about her at home, their faces absolutely light up! Thanks, Auntie, for visiting!

First chats with Santa

2010-12-08T19:57:00.000-08:00

The girls had a nice visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus today at the local library. Too cute!

Way to go Julia!

2010-12-08T19:54:00.000-08:00

Julia did great throughout her surgery to have her birthmark removed from her shoulder. She was such a trooper! She came through surgery with flying colors and hasn't complained a bit since coming out of it all. We are so thankful for the docs and nurses at Children's Hospital...what an incredible experience that was absolutely seamless from start to finish....I wish I could have captured her skipping in to the Operating Room!

Thanksgiving 2010

2010-11-26T17:04:00.000-08:00

So much to be thankful for! We are truly blessed!

Turkey Trot

2010-11-26T16:48:00.000-08:00

Our neighborhood hosted our 2nd Annual 5 mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Morning. It was so much fun. The kids played while the adults ran and then the kids ran their 1/4 mile Fun Run when we returned. It is a wonderful tradition that is shaping up to get bigger and bigger each year!

Family Fun!

Julia stretching to prep for her Fun Run.

Kelly was all set!

The girls greeted me when I finished. Nothing like running in to the finish line with three little girls yelling, "Go Mommy, Go!"

We love this tradition as a family. It's so great to do right before watching the Parade on TV and prepping dinner!

I am so proud of my girls...they have really become great little runners. Too cute how they know how to pump their arms and sprint to the finish. I adore them!

Silver Strand 1/2 Marathon...and my Cheering Squad!

2010-11-14T14:25:00.000-08:00

My little cheerleaders! Jack and the girls drove me out to the start of the Silver Strand 1/2 Marathon this morning at the crack of dawn. I am so lucky to have such a great cheering squad. They went to grab breakfast together while I ran and then they met me with big cheers at the finish line. I was the luckiest runner out there. It was a beatiful day to race.

I did pretty good too! I finished just under 1:43...sub 8 minute miles the whole way :)

We went out on the Pier after the race...what a view!!!

The kids enjoyed the the beach, the pier, playground, and collecting new shells. A delightful morning had by all!

Nothing like practicing surfing on a surfboard bench...no wipeouts allowed!

Many, many thanks to my incredible family for supporting me and being there for me.

You are the best!!!

Cousins!

2010-11-14T14:18:00.000-08:00

Alex and Chris came out to visit for a boys weekend getaway this weekend. We had a blast with them. It's amazing how great cousins get along with eachother and how quickly they all reconnect. We love how the girls look up to "Big Al" and how funny they think their Uncle Chris is. As always, it is always wonderful to see my brother as well...Thanks, Chris, for taking the trip out here. It was so nice to be with both of you.

Our First Visit from the Tooth Fairy

2010-11-14T14:15:00.000-08:00

Regan lost her first tooth the other night. What a thrill! She was beyond excited.

The tooth fairy brought her one golden dollar coin and left a bunch of gold fairy dust.

Lots more wiggly teeth ready to come out for Kel & Regs!

What fun we have together!

Happy Girls

2010-11-09T19:44:00.000-08:00

2010-11-09T19:41:00.000-08:00

Soccer practice always produces the best smiles. Regan and Kelly have been on such a neat team this year full of incredible and delightfully energetic little girls. It's been a great season!

Julia has learned the logistics of how to play and does a great job at practice and games. So proud of her!

Regan is queen of the stellar "GAME FACE."

Food Packaging!

2010-11-06T19:27:00.000-07:00

The girls decorated the boxes when we first got there. They are so excited that the boxes have their fancy pictures on them....rainbows, flowers, stories written, happy faces, etc...too cool!

After we finished with our shift, we stuck our nametags on a box...mission accomplished!

We take things for granted...one of these small bags is a meal for 6 people. Crazy! Think about it...and then think more...we are so fortunate!

It was so neat that the girls were able to do this....they felt so important!!!

Jack was at a different station weighing the product we produced. It was the most organized big event we have ever attended...and it was at the local high school...the girls were so excited to be on the grounds of Del Norte! Our church did a great job!!!! Way to go St. Bart's!!!!

All Saints Day Parade

2010-11-06T19:19:00.000-07:00

She was such a ham posing next to the Scarecrow! Too cute!

Julia had a great time with her preschool buddies on her first, ever field trip. It was so fun seeing her with all her friends and enjoying a day at the Pumpkin Patch. She has a personality that lights up a room!

She was so proud that she beat me through the maze...I was so lost...meanwhile, she was waiting at the end toe-tapping waiting for me to finish. What a smarty pants...a navigator...just like her daddy.

Our local high school had their first ever Varsity football game on Friday Night. It was so neat to be a part of the crowd knowing our girls are future Nighthawks. In a few years they are sure to be a North County Powerhouse! Go Nighthawks!!!

The Navy Leapfrogs made the game that much more exciting...dropping down before kickoff!!!

Soccer Season has Started!!!

2010-09-02T16:17:00.000-07:00


GO BLUE DOLPHINS!!!

Kelly & Regan started practices this week for the soccer season. Great group of girls. Will definitely be a fun season!

Julia starts her soccer practice next week...can't wait to see her out there on field this season!

Stay tuned for her pictures and team name.

Hmmm...I think the kiddos like school so far!!!

2010-08-27T20:17:00.000-07:00

They were so excited for their first "Friday Flag" of the year. Too cool that they already know the ropes from being in PEPP last year!! They are veterans!

School Time and After School Time Fun!

2010-08-27T20:13:00.000-07:00

From the very first time they met their Kindergarten teacher, they were delighted about their new adventure for the year. What fun they will have!

We carried on the tradition this year to meet Nana and Tracy, their Godmother, for frozen yogurt after the first day of school. Smiles had by all!

After having fun together at yogurt, i took my sweet, goofy girls to Claire's to just play around with all the fun stuff. We took some funny snapshots until we were told we couldn't. Too fun!

Thank goodness the girls don't have their ears pierced! It would be a dangerous place!

1st Day of Kindergarten

2010-08-25T11:49:00.000-07:00

Kelly and Regan had a great send off to their first day of Kindergarten. We are so proud of them.

They couldn't wait to walk to school this morning.

Julia was a great cheerleader for them. She will be in the same boat next year at this time!

Proud, proud, proud parents.

The first thing the teacher asked them to do was find their seat and a book. Easy breezy!

School Days

2010-08-24T13:26:00.000-07:00

On Monday, the girls had their "Popsicle Posting Party" at school where they learned who their Kindergarten teacher will be. They were so excited to find out that they got such a wonderful teacher with so many friends in their class. It's going to be a great year of school for them!

On Tuesday, the girls got to go meet their teacher.

She welcomed them with open arms and made them feel so special.

They are so excited for tomorrow, the first day of school!

Haircuts and Hairdos

2010-08-24T13:23:00.000-07:00

The haircut place the girls go to always does their hair in special styles after they have it cut.

It's amazing what they can do!

Julia

Birthday Girl

2010-08-24T13:20:00.001-07:00

Julia celebrated her 4th birthday while on vacation. It was fun for her to be able to share the day with her whole family. She certainly felt like a princess!

This Ariel nightgown was perfect...she would wear it everywhere if she could!

Little Golfers

2010-08-24T13:17:00.000-07:00

The girls all enjoyed playing miniature golf for the first time while on vacation.

They really loved it when their daddy taught them how to hold the club.

Giggles were had by all.

Amazing how much easier miniature golf is than the real thing!

Too bad putting on the real green isn't that easy!

Pooltime Fun

2010-08-23T13:38:00.000-07:00

The big pool in the center of the property was the place to be this year.

We all enjoyed it so much.

New sunglasses for all the girls. They wore them everywhere.

Great times...relaxing and reading and being on vacation...with nothing to do. It was the best!!!

Birthday Golf

2010-08-23T13:34:00.000-07:00

There was an alligator on the other side of the water...I teed off pretty quickly!

It's tradition for my dad, Jack and I to play golf once together while on vacation. It was a perfect morning for a round of golf. I even played really well...probably because it was my birthday. I LOVE this tradition.

Cousins!

2010-08-23T13:29:00.000-07:00

Nothin' beats hangin' with your cousins on the beach.

The week in Hilton Head was incredible...the best part...watching the 6 kiddos reunite.

Cousins sure are wonderful!

Hilton Head Island Beach Days

2010-08-23T13:25:00.000-07:00

The private beach tied to the condo we have is incredible.

White sand, warm water, lots of things to search for while taking wonderful walks, tons of sand castle building opportunities, smashball, laughter, etc...

Too fun!

The girls.

Daddy's girl.

Flying kites on the beach with no worries in the world.

We couldn't get enough of our little Julia's contagious smiles and sweetness!

A Day/Night in Savannah

2010-08-23T13:17:00.000-07:00

Arrival in Savannah was a breeze...well, not breezy, but travel went well!

The girls did great flying and couldn't wait to be on Vacation Mode.

Walking down River Street with the kids. Hot but worth every moment of it!

Nothin' like Southern Charm.

We enjoyed a night time parade the night we were there...good timing!

Summer Smiles

2010-08-06T03:11:00.000-07:00

The summer sure has been wonderful!

Can't wait for the rest of it!!!

Spider Girls

2010-07-28T14:29:00.000-07:00

"Spider Park" is one of the girls' favorite parks around. They are all so proud that they can all climb up to the top of this spider web structure.

Outdoor Concert

2010-07-28T14:25:00.000-07:00

Jack and I had the opportunity to go to an incredible concert in the backyard of a friend of ours. To be in such a unique atmosphere with only about 100 people to listen to the band was so cool! The Austin, TX band, Mark Stuart and the Bastard Sons was so good!

Check out their website: www.markstuartmusic.com

VBS Costume Day

2010-07-18T17:03:00.000-07:00

Vacation Bible School last week was a BLAST!

On costume day, the girls chose what they wanted to be on their own.

When they originally decided what they wanted to be, it was, of course, Sleeping Beauty for Regan, Cinderella for Kelly and Ariel for Julia.

After I told them I thought there would be lots of princesses, they came up with....

A doctor, a soccer player and a ballerina. They were a BIG hit!

Too cute!

Summertime Soccer Clinic

2010-07-18T16:59:00.000-07:00

Soccer Clinic each week has been great for the kids. The program that the SD Soccers put on is phenomenal. The coaches are incredible and the twins have really learned some great skills.

Soccer girls!

Julia has been a great sport watching her sisters play. She has also learned to dribble like a champ.

Smiling in to the sun is never too much fun, but the girls managed to do so with their new soccer buddies.

Summertime fun in the Pool

2010-07-18T16:51:00.000-07:00

Popping up!

Our community pool is so wonderful...we have been spending tons of time there this Summer. The girls all know how to swim freestyle, butterfly and backstroke. It's so neat to watch them learn so quickly.

Smiles all around...especially when Daddy is in the water.

11 Year Anniversary Getaway

2010-07-18T16:46:00.000-07:00

The South Coast Winery Resort in Temecula is the perfect spot to just get away and relax. So beautiful!

We headed up there after a quick round of golf in SD...the perfect little vacation.

You literally stay right smack in the middle of their winery. Too cool!

Here I am being goofy trying on a San Diego Hat Company Hat...Come to think of it...I should have bought it since the races start this week.

We ate at a great restaurant at the Resort.

We enjoyed our little getaway so much.

Can't believe it has already been 11 years...Time sure does fly when you're having fun...

and when you have an incredible person to spend each moment with :)

SWIM Season!

2010-05-22T12:50:00.000-07:00

The kids are so excited it's POOL SEASON!

The neighborhood pool just opened and will be open through October!!

Jack is excited too...here he is ready to go down the waterslide.

Julia always cracks us up...she is too funny!

Regan and Kelly are doing strokes! I can't wait to get them in a strokes clinic this summer so that next summer they can actually be on the summer league team!

I am so proud of how quickly all the girls have become comfortable with the water. Go Team Pritchett!
