A Mom Entry

I am thinking that I might as well try to make this more about my life. I am not a great writer but I need to get some journal writing in and it seems that I cannot do both. My sister Naoma made a hard copy of her blog and now has a great scrapbook and journal. So here I am, and I will try to do my best.
So life with children is mostly what I thought it would be. Growing up in a family of 11 children, you kind of got the idea of what could possibly be thrown at you. We have so many different types of personalities in our family that now I look at my kids and see some of my siblings in each of them. It is fun to have 4 boys that all are extremely different. So here I am thinking of when I will have the next one and wondering what he or she would be like. SHE!!! I don't even know that word. I love my boys! I will take all boys but a girl or two thrown in the mix might be nice. I really want my boys to know how to treat girls. They are doing a good job with their mom though. I have to say that I love being a mom and even though it can be hard I wouldn't ever trade this opportunity to raise some of the finest young men!

Our Romantic Getaway to San Francisco

One of our favorite breakfast places, Mel's Diner. But our most favorite place was a little place in the farmers market that was right next to the hotel.

The best sign that I think I have ever seen, especially since it was right next to the park where all the homeless people slept.

A little restaurant up in the Haight/Ashbury district. This place served great crepes, but the district was definitely not my style.

A peace lovin' place.

Fishermens Warf

The picture that you have to pay for. He won't dance, nor will he pose for a picture unless you tip him in his little bucket. He probably is still doing well in this economy. Maybe we should all dress up like a Gold Statue, Jeff you would look good in silver though!!!! But you must have some good dance moves.

Do you really think that you could swim from Alkatraz?

Don't we all wish that we had this kind of life!!!

Schools In

Here he goes. My little boy is growing up.

Ready for school. I hope that he continues to like school. He had done so well so far and I just hope he can develop a love for school and learning. Is that really to much to ask?

At least he has some friends in his class that were in his old class. I think that made it a lot easier.

Meet the Teachers

This this Mrs. Shaack

and this is Mrs. Dove

My boys love preschool and wish it were everyday. I hope they still feel the same way when they are in school all day, everyday. That is the true test.

The Lady Owl

Our annual outing to the Owls baseball game. We may last longer than 4 innings when they are a little older and can actually understand the game. I may regret the day that I said that when I have 3 games in one day!!

There must be a need of Good Men

So here they are, all the Rust boys. Jeff is the only boy in his family, and then came 4 girls. But not so true with the next generation. I have 4 boys, Tara has 3 boys and Tiffany is due this week with another boy. So 8 grandsons for Grandma and Grandpa. Sorry no granddaughters yet.

But are they not the cutest group of boys!

The cute shirts are a gift from Grammy!
